家庭醫師保健精油組 Essential Oils for Nature Cure
Naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine employing a wide array of pseudoscientific modalities that are branded as "natural," including homeopathy, herbalism, and acupuncture, in addition to diet and lifestyle counseling. Naturopathic medicine is considered by the medical profession to be ineffective and possibly harmful, raising ethical issues about its practice. Naturopaths and naturopathic doctors have repeatedly been accused of being charlatans and practicing quackery. The ideology and methods of naturopathy are based on vitalism and self-healing, rather than evidence-based medicine. Naturopathic education contains little of the established clinical training and curriculum completed by primary care doctors, as naturopaths mostly study unscientific notions and learn unproven diagnoses and treatments. Naturopaths generally recommend against modern medicine, including surgery, drugs, and vaccinations, in favor of methods claimed to be holistic and non-invasive. Naturopaths tend to oppose vaccines and teach their students anti- and alternative vaccine practices, resulting in lower vaccination rates. According to the American Cancer Society, "scientific evidence does not support claims that naturopathic medicine can cure cancer or any other disease."

The History of Aromatherapy
The History of Aromatherapy Pt 1: 3,500 BC - 199 AD The roots of aromatherapy can be traced back more than 3,500 years before the birth of Christ, to a time when the use of aromatics was first recorded in human history. In reality, the history of aromatherapy is inexorably linked to the development of aromatic medicine, which in the early days was itself combined with religion, mysticism and magic. This was a time when the ancient Egyptians first burned incense made from aromatic woods, herbs and spices in honour of their gods. They believed that as the smoke rose up to the heavens, it would carry their prayers and wishes directly to the deities. Eventually, the development of aromatics as medicines would create the foundations that aromatherapy was built upon.
Prior to that, and long before plant medicines of any sort had been discovered (5,000 to 10,000 BC), our ancestors would burn aromatic herbs, scented woods and barks to drive out the 'evil spirits' from sick people. Some of these poor individuals were possibly suffering from mental illness, but apart from using fire and water, 'smoking' was the only other form of treatment. Initially, any fragrant woods, barks or herbs growing in the locality would have been used, since the major aromatic trading centres would not appear for thousands of years yet. Interestingly, the word perfume comes from the Latin 'per fumum', which means 'through smoke'.
草藥芳調法的歷史 芳香植物應用在傳統醫學的歷史相當悠久。傳說中，中醫學起源於「神農嚐百草」、 明朝李時珍編撰的「本草綱目」則記載了兩千多種藥材與八千多種配方，直到今天， 仍被中醫視為養生、治療疾病的重要參考資料。 另外，在印度持續使用5000年的阿輸吠陀療法(它亦是世上最古老的醫書Vedas吠陀經) 中，也記載了許多芳香植物使用在宗教及醫療上的用途，但是在歷史上真正首度廣泛 使用精油的證據可以追溯到古埃及時代。

The Chinese 'Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine', was written in 2697 BC and is the oldest surviving medical book in China. This landmark text contains information about the properties of over 300 different plants and their medical uses, which suggests they may even have preceded the Egyptians in their use and knowledge of plant based medicines. Although other civilizations in India and the Americas were also using aromatics, it seems those in the Middle East and China that have actually left us the best records.
all known to have been used at some stage to preserve the bodies of their royalty in preparation of the after-life. The valuable herbs and spices they needed were laboriously transported across inhospitable deserts by Arab merchants for distribution to Assyria, Babylon, China, Egypt, Greece, Rome and Persia.

The most sought after materials were frankincense and myrrh, and because during those early trading years demand outstripped supply they had a value equal to that of gems and precious metals.
During the 3rd Dynasty (2650-2575 BC) in Egypt, the process of embalming and mummification was developed by the Egyptians in their search for immortality. Frankincense, myrrh, galbanum, cinnamon, cedarwood, juniper berry and spikenard are

Masters of perfumery
Masters of perfumery The Egyptians loved to use simple fragrances in their daily lives and did so at every opportunity. At festivals and celebrations women wore perfumed cones on their heads which would melt under the heat, releasing their beautiful fragrance. After bathing, they would anoint their bodies with oil to protect them from the drying effects of the baking sun and to rejuvenate their skin. During the period between the 18th and the 25th Dynasty (1539-657 BC), the Egyptians continued to refine their use of aromatics in incense, medicine, cosmetics, and finally perfumes. Until just a few hundred years before the birth of Christ, the Egyptian perfumery industry was celebrated as the finest in the whole of the Middle East and beyond. So great was their reputation as master perfumers, that when Julius Caesar returned home with Cleopatra after conquering Egypt
around 48 BC, perfume bottles were tossed to the crowds to demonstrate his total domination over Egypt. Enter the Greeks The richness of the Egyptian botanical pharmacopoeia had already been assimilated by many other cultures during previous millennia; the Assyrians, Babylonians and Hebrews had all borrowed from their vast knowledge of aromatic medicine. As the Egyptian Empire crumbled into decline around 300 BC, Europe became the heart of empirical medicine, where new methods were steadily evolving into a more scientifically based system of healing. The earliest known Greek physician was Asclepius who practiced around 1200 BC combining the use of herbs and surgery with previously unrivalled skill. His reputation was so great that after his death he was deified as the god of healing in Greek mythology, and thousands of lavish healing temples known as Asclepieion were erected in his honor throughout the Grecian world.

Hippocrates (circa 460-377 BC) was the first physician to dismiss the Egyptian belief that illness was caused by supernatural forces. Instead, he believed the doctor should try to discover natural explanations for disease by observing the patient carefully, and make a judgment only after consideration of the symptoms. Hippocrates considered the entire body a single organism, and his approach differed greatly from that of the Egyptians who had a 'prescribed' method of treating any given disease. It's interesting to note that over 2,000 years later, both methodologies are still employed by practitioners of modern medicine. His treatments would typically employ mild physio-therapies, baths, massage with infusions, or the internal use of herbs such as fennel, parsley, hypericum or valerian.

Founders of botany & pharmacology
Founders of botany & pharmacology After Alexander's invasion of Egypt in the 3rd century BC, the use of aromatics, herbs and perfumes became much more popular in Greece prompting great interest in all things fragrant. Theophrastus of Athens who was a philosopher and student of Aristotle, investigated everything about plants and even how scents affected the emotions. He wrote several volumes on botany including 'The History of Plants', which became one of the three most important botanical science references for centuries to come. He is generally referred to today as the Founder of Botany. The next great luminary was the Greek military physician Dioscorides (40-90 AD) who served in Nero's army. In order to study herbs, Dioscorides marched with Roman armies to Greece, Germany, Italy and Spain, recording everything that he discovered. He described the plants habitat, how it should be prepared and stored, and described full accounts of its healing properties. His results
were published in a comprehensive 5 volume work called 'De Materia Medica', also known as 'Herbarius'. 'De Materia Medica' was destined to become one of the most influential botanical books in history, and was the the cornerstone for practitioners of botanical medicine throughout Europe for 1,500 years. In it, Dioscorides wrote about the medicinal properties of almonds, aloes, aniseed, chamomile, cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, crocus, dill, gentian, ginger, juniper, lavender, linseed, licorice, mallow, marjoram, myrrh, olive oil, pepper, peppermint, poppy, rhubarb, sesame and thyme. This epic publication was the first ever systematic pharmacopoeia and contained 1000 different botanical medications, plus descriptions and illustrations of approximately 600 different plants and aromatics. His magnificent work was so influential he has been bestowed the accolade, the Father of Pharmacology.

He began his medical career aged 28 under Roman employ treating the wounds of gladiators with medicinal herbs. This unique experience provided him with the opportunity to study wounds of all kinds, and it is said that not a single gladiator died of battle wounds while under the care of Galen. Due to his phenomenal success he quickly rose to become the personal physician to the Roman Emperor, Marcus Aurelius, and since Rome was a thriving academic center during the lifetime of Galen it was the ideal place for him to conduct further research. Galen wrote over 400 treatises, of which 83 are still in existence including 'De Simplicibus' which described the plant, its geographical location and medicinal uses.
Galen was the last of the great Greco-Roman physicians, and within 100 years of his death the Roman Empire would begin to decline, plunging Europe into the dark ages. As the Romans began pulling out of Britain, much of their medical knowledge was discarded and all progress in the Western tradition of medicine came to a halt for hundreds of years. During this period, Europe sank into the lowest depths of barbarism recorded in history, and it would be the turn of another culture to carry the torch of aromatic medicine forward.

CARE'S FOUNDERS,DR. DAVID AND LEE STEWART P.8
CARE'S FOUNDERS, DR. DAVID AND LEE STEWART David and Lee Stewart were married September 1, 1962, and have five children, eleven grand children, and one great grandchild. They were co-founders of the InterNational Association of Parents & Professionals for Safe Alternatives in Childbirth (NAPSAC International) in November 1975. Through NAPSAC, they published a number of books on childbirth and related topics, several of which are still in print At its peak, NAPSAC had more than 8,000 members for which the Stewart's wrote and published a newsletter, The NAPSAC News, with issues continuing over a twenty-year span, into the 1990's. Since the early 1970's, they have been among the early pioneers and international leaders in the promotion of home birth and breastfeeding. During the years, 1976 - 1990, the Stewart's organized major educational conferences, with more than 1,000 attendees at several of them.
These took place in such locations as Washington, DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Nashville, St. Louis, and San Francisco Bay. Participants in NAPSAC Conferences came from more than a dozen countries and included young parents, midwives, nurses, lawyers, naturopaths, osteopaths, medical doctors, hospital administrators, government officials, public health officers, and others interested in safe, natural, family-centered childbirth in birth centers, hospitals, and at home. CARE was founded January 5, 2001, in Marble Hill, Missouri, by David and Lee Stewart. The first CARE Instructors were certified on February 14, 2001.

Researches Explore Use of Aromatherapy in Medical Field A study at New York's Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center found that the vanilla-like aroma of heliotropin significantly reduced anxiety in patients undergoing MRI scans. At the Wesleyan University in Connecticut, researchers found that the scent of lavender increased deep, restful sleep for both men and women. The medical use of aromatherapy is also being studied all over the world. In England, a 2002 study found that applying lemon balm oil to the faces and arms of patients with severe dementia reduced their agitation by 35 percent; while a study conducted by Scotland researchers showed that a combination of cedarwood, lavender, rosemary, and thyme oils helped patients with alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair to fall out.
In France and Japan, aromatherapy is used to treat certain medical conditions such as diabetes and seizure disorders, while some medical practitioners in the United States use it to improve the quality of life of cancer patients by reducing stress and anxiety. Aromatherapy can be used in various ways. One way is to inhale the essential oils indirectly from a room diffuser, or from an individual inhaler. The essential oils may also be used by other licensed health professionals such as acupuncturists, nurses and naturopaths on their patients during treatments. In most cases, however, the essential oils are used together with a massage. Essential oils such as lavender, rosemary, tea tree, peppermint and pepermint have been

Aromatherapy traces its roots to ancient China, India, Egypt, Greece and Rome and has been in use for over 6,000 years. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, our ancestors use essential oils—which are used in aromatherapy—in cosmetics, scents and medicine. Case in point: France and majority of Western Europe combine aromatherapy with mainstream medicine due to its antibacterial and antiviral benefits, according to Medical News Today. France, in particular, has a highly specialized form of aromatherapy, which involves performing a lab culture of an infected tissue to determine which essential oil should be best used for treatment. It promotes weight loss. A study done by Niigata University in Japan that was published in the Journal of Experimental Biology and Medicine suggests that the smell of
grapefruit and lemon oil can stimulate sympathetic nerve activity in the white adipose tissues. This in turn promotes lipolysis—fat burning—which helps in weight loss and maintaining an ideal body weight. It helps people overcome depression. Aromatherapy has been proven to effectively treat the symptoms of mild depression, and helps wean depressed people from relying on medications. Or, it can complement the use of antidepressants. We recommend Home Spa lavender or eucalyptus shower sprays to calm your senses and stabilize your mood. It helps manage chronic pain. Chronic pain cost affects around 80 million people in the United States and costs $70 billion annually.

Five Overlooked Health Benefits of Aromatherapy

The Danger is in the Drug Itself
The Danger is in the Drug Itself The dangers of prescription drugs are intrinsic to the drugs themselves, not in how they are administered.
If you tell most medical doctors that essential oils bring about healing with no negative side effects, they won´t believe you.
No matter how careful the physician in prescribing and how compliant the patient in following doctors orders, even then deaths and damages occur. In fact, according to the U.S.
This is because in medical school, students are repeatedly told by their professors that all effective medicines have negative side effects, and if they don´t then they can´t be effective.
Centers for Disease Control, more than 100,000 Americans die every year, not from illegal drugs, not from drug overdoses, not from over-the-counter drugs, and not from drug abuses, but from properly prescribed, properly taken prescriptions. In this country, more people die from doctor´s rescriptions every ten days than were killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
When I was in medical school one professor emphasized this point in a colorful, graphic manner with specially prepared slides. In each slide specific drugs were depicted as evil looking demons or goblins.
Why is this so? Why do allopathic drugs always have undesirable effects (along with their apparent benefits) while one can find healing with natural products, such as essential oils, with no undesirable effects? Here is why.

As he presented each picture, he explained, “Although ugly and capable of doing harm, these ｀demons´ are also the bearers of some good.

And that´s why it is essential that only qualified physicians be allowed to prescribe medicines,＂ he concluded.

While some may think that aromatherapy is just smelling oils, that's certainly not the case. Topical application of essential oils offers numerous therapeutic benefits that complement healing achieved via inhalation. Essential oils contain compounds from diverse chemical families, which give them unique analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, and mucolytic properties. Though frequently housed in small ５-mL bottles, don't be fooled—essential oils are immensely powerful. 1.

Face Tea tree essential oils are great natural alternatives to chemical synthetics found in many commercial beauty products. Our face requires extra TLC since the skin is more sensitive than other parts of the body. If you have sensitive skin, stick to a 1 percent dilution, which is about 4 essential oil drops per carrier oil ounce. If your skin is nonreactive, you can up the dilution to 2.5 percent, which is approximately 10 essential oil drops per carrier oil ounce. 3. Chest Essential oils are handy in a chest rub when battling a cold, especially since many like eucalyptus contain anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti-tussive, decongestant, and mucolyticproperties. 4. Arms & hands It's suspected that increased use of technology has led to a rise in neuropathies—the most common being carpal tunnel syndrome, which affects forearms and hands.
5. Pulse points While clinical researchers debate the effectiveness of dabbing odor molecules where your heart rate can be felt, I find that applying essential oils at pulse points diffuses the scent, greatly affects my mood. Each night, I apply Lavender a sleep blend to my wrists and neck to meditate with before dozing off.

Tea Tree Uses
Tea tree oil has been used as a traditional medicine for many years. The earliest publication in the 1920s described the use of tea tree oil as a topical germicidal product. Tea tree oil has been sold in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Sweden and other European countries since the early 1930´s and there has been a consistent and long standing use of tea tree oil demonstrated since 1930 internationally and in the European Community. The clinical use of tea tree oil is described in monographs published by the World Health Organisation, British Pharmacopoeia and The Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain (Martindale) and ESCOP (2009). In August 2007, RIRDC and ATTIA published a comprehensive dossier on the Safety and Effectiveness of Tea Tree Oil. To access a copy of this document please click on the link. Considerable research, much of it by the Tea Tree Oil Research Group at The University of Western Australia, has revealed tea tree oil to be effective as an antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory. RIRDC has funded the bulk of this research.
More recently, researchers, noting the early findings, conducted clinical trials to confirm the antibacterial activity, antifungal activity, antiviral activity and antiprotozoal activity under modern controlled clinical trial 天然抗生素專家 －茶樹精油在現代醫學之應用 1923年，澳大利亞雪梨國家博物館研 究員、化學家潘佛德博士 (Dr. Arthur Penfold) 研究，發現茶樹精 油具有強力殺菌效果。 1939年，澳洲皇家海軍與陸軍將茶樹 精油列為軍用物資，在第二次世界大 戰期間，被派往熱帶地區作戰的澳洲 軍人均會拿到國家分發茶樹精油，用 來治療刀槍傷、割傷、蚊蟲咬傷或細 菌感染； 被譽為『裝在瓶裡的急救工具』。 1960年代，茶樹精油受到澳洲、美、 英、澳、法、德、日的自然療法醫學 界肯定。其功效： a.7天內可以殺死葡萄球菌、 白色念珠菌 b.茶樹精油能滲入皮下，幫助傷口、 膿腫、癤癒合 c.乾癬、膿皰、婦科感染或為黴菌感 染的香港腳、癬及灰指甲。 1983 年，澳大利亞聯合食品實驗室 進行皮膚消毒試驗，結果更是驚人： a.未洗手前，手上細菌數為 (每50公分)3,000個以上 b.以純淨蒸餾水洗手，手上細菌 (每50公分)降至 2,000個 c.以茶樹精油稀釋洗手， 手上細菌為0

From the opening speech by Dr Alan Twomey at the 1995 Tea Tree Oil National Conference - from folklore to fact in August 1995 The indigenous Bundjalung people of eastern Australia are believed to have used tea trees as a traditional medicine for many years in a variety of ways including inhaling the oil from the crushed leaves to treat coughs and colds, applying the leaves on wounds as a poultice as well as brewing an infusion of the leaves to make a tea for treatment of sore throats or applying on the skin for minor wounds, abrasions and insect bites and stings. One of the areas where tea trees are grown in abundance today is called Bungawalbyn which translates to 'healing ground'. Captain James Cook named the tea tree because he observed the Bundjalung people of eastern Australia use the leaves to prepare a healing tea and it is reported that his men used the leaves first to make a tea and then to brew a type of beer!

“Rosemary for remembrance＂ is a phrase that most often references the character Ophelia´s words in William Shakespeare´s play, Hamlet. The association of rosemary with remembrance, and with funerals, mourning or celebrations, predates the bard´s play. Undoubtedly, Shakespeare´s words have proven memorable and influential, as shown by the writings of others. Interestingly, though, in a scientific context, rosemary and memory do share important connections. Shakespeare´s famous scene from Hamlet features an increasingly unbalanced Ophelia, who talks, sings, and babbles about her father´s death, to her brother, Laertes. Interestingly, the exact quote from the play doesn´t include the phrase, “rosemary for remembrance.＂ Rather it is: “There´s rosemary, that´s for remembrance; pray, love, remember.＂There are many interpretations of this scene, but since it occurs shortly before Ophelia´s death, a number of scholars believe that the idea of “rosemary for remembrance＂ is of somewhat lesser importance. Instead, they argue that Shakespeare uses the herb to allude to the common convention of placing it on the bodies of the dead. In this way, he is able to foreshadow Ophelia´s impending demise. Another interpretation that might make sense is that rosemary is a fragrance that clings. Ophelia´s absence is felt almost as much as her presence, and it partially drives the actions of her

Dr. Mark Moss, who presented the findings at the British Psychology Society conference, said that evidence was accumulating to show the benefits of rosemary aroma. He said, “We wanted to build on our previous research that indicated rosemary aroma improved long-term memory and mental arithmetic. In this study, we focused on prospective memory, which involves the ability to remember events that will occur in the future and to remember complete tasks at particular times. This is critical for everyday functioning, for example when someone needs to remember to post a birthday card or to take medication at a particular time.＂ (Digital Journal) Co-researcher Jemma McCready, said, “The difference between the two groups was 60-75 percent, for example, one group would remember to do seven things compared with four tasks completed by those who did not smell the oil, and they were quicker. We deliberately set them a lot of tasks, so it is possible that people who multi-task could function better after sniffing rosemary oil. There was no link between the participants´ mood and memory. This suggests performance is not influenced as a consequence of changes in alertness or arousal. These findings may have implications for treating individuals with memory impairments. It supports our previous research indicating that the aroma of rosemary essential oil can enhance cognitive functioning in healthy adults, here extending to the ability to remember events and to complete tasks in the future. Remembering when and where to go and for what reasons underpins everything we do, and we all suffer minor failings that can be frustrating and sometimes dangerous. Further research is needed to investigate if this treatment is useful for older adults who have experienced memory decline.＂

Eucalyptus, A History of Healing The name eucalyptus is derived from the Greek eu, meaning ｀well´, and kalyptos, meaning ｀cover´. Eu Kalyptos refers to the well-covered flower buds, which are cone shaped and have a lid-like structure that opens as the flowers mature. Over the years as the medicinal benefits became apparent this meaning has been expanded to mean that eucalyptus “covers well＂ a variety of common conditions. Over 600 Species of Eucalyptus All eucalyptus trees originate in Australia. The 600 or so species have been transplanted to many other warm parts of the world such as Central Asia, North Africa, and parts of the warmer climates of Europe, North and South America. The trees are fast growing and are beautifully picturesque. Not only are they esthetic to the eye, they serve well to prevent soil erosion and provide a welcome home for a number of unique and endangered critters. The evergreen eucalyptus tree´s bark can exude a sweet smelling gum. However, the leaves contain droplets of essential oil and those of the Tasmanian Blue Gum are considered the most esteem for healing. Historians tell us the Aborigines of Australia relied on this native evergreen for soothing 1788年，英國艦隊外科主治醫生（約 翰•懷特John.White）初次來到澳洲 ，他發現雪梨有一種植物葉子，咀嚼 起來像是英國常使用的薄荷，讓人呼 吸十分舒暢清涼，當時稱其植物叫做 『雪梨薄荷』，也就是現代所稱的尤 加利；英國人發現澳洲4000年前就有 尤加利樹，當地原住民經常使用水浸 泡葉子，然後喝下浸泡液以治療發燒 、咳嗽與化痰，還會燃燒尤加利葉以 消毒環境與淨化空氣，又稱其為抗燒 樹（Australian fever tree）。

Once Europeans were introduced to the eucalyptus tree, they too rapidly recognized its gifts, medicinal and otherwise. In fact, they began to rely so heavily on eucalyptus oil for sterilizing medical and surgical equipment that it was briefly referred to as “catheter oil＂. Referring to the oil´s ability to purge bacteria and sterilize. Early Eucalyptus Studies Oil of eucalyptus has been distilled since at least 1788 when two doctors, John White and Dennis Cossiden, distilled eucalyptus for its use in treating chest problems and colic. Early works on the antiseptic and bacterial properties of the oil were published in Germany by Dr. Colez (1870). This was followed by a publication by Dr. Faust and Dr. Homeyer in 1874. They classified it as being sudorific, anticatarrhal and astringent. It was prescribed for all respiratory system conditions such as bronchitis, flu, asthma and coughs. 英國人發現澳洲4000年前就有尤加利 樹，當地原住民經常燃燒尤加利葉以 消毒環境。
2. Clear Your Chest Coughing, but nothing is coming up? Eucalyptus oil can not only silence a cough, it can also help you get the mucus out of your chest. Inhaling vapor made with the essential oil can loosen mucus so that when you do cough, the mucus is loosened. Using a rub containing eucalyptus oil will produce the same effect. 3. Keep the Bugs Away Mosquitoes and other biting insects carry diseases that can be dangerous to our health. Avoiding their bites is our best defense. DEET sprays are the most popular repellants, but they´re made with strong chemicals. As an effective alternative for those who aren´t able to use DEET, many manufactures also make a botanical compound to repel the pests. Brands such as Repel and Off! use oil of lemon eucalyptus to keep the pests away. 4. Disinfect Wounds 2010年澳洲醫學研究顯示：不管支氣管化 膿與否，尤加利精油皆可用來處理處理呼 吸系統的問題。 （SadlonAE,LamsonDW.Immune-modifying and antimicrobial effects of ucalyptus oil and simple inhalation devices. Altern Med Rev. 2010 Apr;15(1):33-47. Review.）
5. Breathe Easy Respiratory conditions such as asthma and sinusitis may be helped by inhaling steam with added eucalyptus oil. The oil reacts with mucous membranes, not only reducing mucus but helping loosen it so that you can cough it up. It´s also possible that eucalyptus contains a chemical that helps block asthma symptoms. On the other hand, for people who are allergic to eucalyptus, it may actually worsen their asthma. More research is needed to determine how eucalyptus affects people with asthma.

1. Silence a Cough For many years, eucalyptus oil has been used torelievecoughing.Today,some over-the-counter cough medications have eucalyptus oil as one of their active ingredients. Vicks VapoRub, for example, contains about 1.2 percent eucalyptus oil along with other cough suppressant chemicals. The popular rub is applied to the chest and throat to relieve cough symptoms from a common cold or flu.

Mentha cultivation set to rise again LUCKNOW: The cultivation of mentha in Uttar Pradesh is likely to see an upsurge this year after a lull in the past year. Uttar Pradesh records the highest production of mentha oil in the country. Reports suggest that metha sowing has already started with the recent rainy spell and would be over by the end of February. It is estimated that the overall sowing area may remain higher this year. The total area under mentha crop cultivation is expected at 2.10 lakh hectares (ha) this year from 1.75 lakh ha during the previous year. Metha had caught the imagination of farmers in Uttar Pradesh some years ago with a sudden surge in demand for mentha oil in various medicinal and cosmetic industries. The biggest chunk of this surge reportedly came from the paan masala
and gutka making units. However, the ban on the sale of gutka in many states in the recent past led to a reduced demand of mentha oil in the domestic sector resulting to its price falling to a little over Rs 1100 in October last from a high of Rs 1,686 a year ago. At the same time, its demand slowed from overseas markets due to weakening global economies.

St. John´s wort is natural. It´s an herbal supplement that doesn´t require a prescription and you can buy it at a health food store. Sounds good, but that doesn´t necessarily make it harmless, according to a new study published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology. Researchers at the University of Adelaide compared adverse events of St. John´s wort and the antidepressant drug fluoxetine (Prozac). The team used information from doctors´ reports to Australia´s national agency on drug safety.
西元400年前希臘女巫們就深信，聖約翰 草在盛夏時節採收具有驅邪魔力，他們會 把聖約翰草綁成一豎（或者綁成小人偶的 形式），焚燒或將之投到祈禱的火堆之中 。 十字軍東征時，在耶路撒冷有名聖約翰騎 士，在征戰時受到嚴重外傷，途中順手抓 取當地野生藥草「金絲桃植物」而得到療 癒，因此，此草傳回歐洲稱為聖約翰草， 並在騎士兵團中擁有相當的地位。 在南德某些村莊還保有「約翰火祭」的習 俗。人們圍著火推將聖約翰草編成花環帶 在頭上並圍繞火堆跳舞祈福，祈禱可以驅 趕魔物。

Overview St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a history of use as a medicine dating back to ancient Greece, where it was used for a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. St. John's wort also has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been applied to the skin to help heal wounds and burns. St. John's wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbal products in the United States. Depression
There is good evidence that St. John's wort may reduce symptoms in people with mild-to-moderate, but not severe (or major) depression. In many studies it seems to work as well as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), a popular type of antidepressant often prescribed to treat depression. SSRIs include fluoxetine (Prozac), citalopram (Celexa), and sertraline (Zoloft). Premenstrual syndrome (PMS): Research suggests that St. John's wort may help relieve physical and emotional symptoms of PMS in some women, including cramps, irritability, food
