Virus H1N1 bukan sahaja memberi kesan kepada kesihatan awam, ianya juga memberi kesan negatif kepada produktiviti pekerja apabila semakin ramai pekerja yang terpaksa tinggal di rumah untuk&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;memastikan selesema di pejabat tidak merebak kepada rakan sekerja yang lain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pekerja dan majikan haruslah peka terhadap virus ini. Mereka harus sedar bahawa Influenza A(H1N1) kini semakin menular dengan teruk terutamanya apabila menular di kalangan pekerja mereka kerana apabila jangkitan ini merebak di dalam pejabat, perniagaan juga akan mendapat kesan yang teruk.   &lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;  &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Arial;" &gt;Bagaimana selesema babi merebak di dalam pejabat?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Secara amnya, terdapat 2 cara ianya boleh merebak di dalam pejabat anda. Pertama, apabila orang yang telah terjangkit batuk/ bersin tanpa menutup hidung dan mulut, virus akan tersebar ke udara. Ianya boleh merebak kepada orang lain dengan mudah. Kedua, orang yang telah dijangkiti mencemarkan udara dengan virus dari mulut dan hidung mereka di mana-mana tempat yang disentuh tanpa&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;membasuh tangan. Anda sudah boleh menjangkakan apa yang berlaku seterusnya? Contohnya jika rakan sekerja anda yang telah dijangkiti virus influenza A ini menyentuh anda, papan kekunci komputer anda, anda mungkin terdedah kepada virus ini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;  &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 150%;" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;b style=""&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Arial;color:red;"  &gt;TAHUKAH ANDA?

Manusia normal bernafas kira-kira 15-18 kali dalam seminit dengan setengah liter ke satu liter daripada udara yang akan keluar masuk melalui paru-paru setiap kali.  &lt;!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--&gt;  &lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Jika anda menghidu 600ml udara masuk dan keluar dari paru-paru anda secara purata 16 kali seminit, secara teorinya anda mungkin telah menghidu semua udara di dalam pejabat anda melalui paru-paru anda dalam 10 jam sahaja.

Kemudian, terdapat juga risalah-risalah, dokumen yang anda mungkin edar kepada rakan sekerja yang lain dan butang masuk keselamatan yang anda selalu sentuh beberapa kali setiap hari.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berapa ramai rakan sekerja anda yang sedar tentang kebersihan tangan mereka apabila mereka bersih, batuk atau keluar daripada tandas tanpa membersihkan tangan mereka.

Katanya, penemuan data terbaru Kajian Kesihatan dan Morbiditi Kebangsaan bagi tahun 2006 mendapati kes gangguan mental di kalangan rakyat Malaysia meningkat sebanyak hampir 6 peratus berbanding kajian yang dijalankan 10 tahun lepas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img title="stress [320x200]" src="http://sutrainfo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/stress-320x200.jpg?w=150&amp;amp;h=150" alt="stress [320x200]" height="150" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Beliau berkata, daripada jumlah itu, sebanyak 20.3 peratus adalah di kalangan kanak-kanak dan remaja berusia bawah 16 tahun. “Antara faktor tekanan jiwa di kalangan remaja adalah kerana gagal mendapat keputusan yang baik dalam peperiksaan, tekanan daripada keluarga dan sekolah serta tiada sokongan masyarakat,” kata beliau kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Hari Kesihatan Mental Sedunia peringkat kebangsaan di sini hari ini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255); "&gt;&lt;img title="stress (1) [320x200]" src="http://sutrainfo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/stress-1-320x200.jpg?w=150&amp;amp;h=112" alt="stress (1) [320x200]" height="112" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Katanya, ada di antara murid sekolah tertekan kerana tidak mendapat semua A dalam peperiksaan dan kemudiannya mereka dihina dan dikatakan bodoh serta tidak berguna untuk hidup, jadi mereka mengambil jalan mudah untuk menyelesaikan masalah iaitu dengan membunuh diri.&lt;br /&gt;Chua berkata, daripada jumlah itu juga sebanyak 11.2 peratus adalah pesakit di kalangan orang dewasa dan 19.5 peratus di kalangan warga emas yang berusia melebihi 70 tahun.&lt;br /&gt;“Masalah kesihatan mental tidak boleh dipandang ringan, beban penyakit itu memberi kesan kepada masyarakat dan negara dan kos perubatan untuk pesakit mental adalah semakin tinggi manakala pesakit pula sering tidak mendapatkan rawatan awal kerana percayakan rawatan bomoh,” kata beliau.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img title="Terjun2 [320x200]" src="http://sutrainfo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/terjun2-320x200.jpg?w=150&amp;amp;h=112" alt="Terjun2 [320x200]" height="112" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Kes membunuh diri juga didapati semakin meningkat dengan sebanyak 20 hingga 30 orang daripada setiap 100,000 rakyat Malaysia membunuh diri setiap tahun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Beliau berkata, kementerian juga mengalami masalah kekurangan pakar psikiatri kerana stigma masyarakat untuk menjadi pakar jiwa.”Ada orang kita menggelar pakar jiwa `doktor gila’ dan ini menyebabkan kursus perubatan psikiatri tidak begitu popular sehingga sekarang,” kata beliau.&lt;br /&gt;Katanya, setakat ini cuma terdapat 145 orang pakar psikiatri dan negara memerlukan lebih 300 pakar lagi dalam bidang itu untuk mencapai nisbah 50 pesakit bagi seorang psikiatri. Chua berkata, sehubungan itu kerajaan mahu usaha mempertingkatkan kesedaran mengenai kesihatan mental dipertingkatkan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;AROMATERAPI MEMBANTU PELAJAR? BAGAIMANA?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Daripada artikel di atas, dapat kita simpulkan bahawa golongan pelajar tidak terkecuali daripada terkena tekanan hidup. Contoh-contoh yang dapat kita petik dari artikel tersebut seperti: “Antara faktor tekanan jiwa di kalangan remaja adalah kerana gagal mendapat keputusan yang baik dalam peperiksaan, tekanan daripada keluarga dan sekolah serta tiada sokongan masyarakat,” kata Menteri Kesihatan pada masa itu, Dr Chua Soi Lek kepada pemberita. Jadi bayangkan tekanan hidup yang dihadapi oleh para remaja sekalian terutamanya para pelajar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;img title="DSCF1020 [320x200]" src="http://sutrainfo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/dscf1020-320x200.jpg?w=150&amp;amp;h=112" alt="DSCF1020 [320x200]" height="112" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Terdapat juga para pelajar yang tertekan kerana tidak mendapat semua A dalam peperiksaan dan kemudiannya mereka dihina dan dikatakan bodoh serta tidak berguna untuk hidup, jadi mereka mengambil jalan mudah untuk menyelesaikan masalah iaitu dengan membunuh diri. Bukankah perkara ini amat membimbangkan dan sekiranya berlanjutan kemungkinan kita akan kehilangan ramai pelajar yang berpotensi menjadi tunggak kepada negara di masa akan datang.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;img title="DSC09899 [320x200]" src="http://sutrainfo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/dsc09899-320x200.jpg?w=150&amp;amp;h=98" alt="DSC09899 [320x200]" height="98" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Apa pula fungsi aromaterapi dalam mengatasi tekanan pelajar? Daripada perkataan aromaterapi itu sendiri dapat kita memahami bahawa aromaterapi adalah salah satu terapi tekanan dengan menggunakan aroma. Tahukah anda bauan aromaterapi mampu memberi ketenangan kepada anda sekaligus membantu anda mengatasi tekanan dan mengelakkan anda daripada terkena pelbagai penyakit yang akan memudaratkan anda. Tahukah anda sekiranya penyakit mental yang dialami berpanjangan ianya akan memberi kesan kepada kesihatan dan peluang untuk anda terkena penyakit-penyakit berikut adalah besar seperti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Barah Perut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Penyakit      kardiovaskular&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Saluran koronari jantung&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Pendarahan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Keadaan      berkait dengan otot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Karl Albrecht di dalam Stress and the Manager (1979): “Tindak balas tekanan ialah pergerakan kimia yang disesuaikan di dalam seluruh tubuh manusia untuk memenuhi keperluan dalam pergelutan kehidupan dan kematian atau untuk mendapatkan kebebasan yang pantas dalam keadaan itu. Tindak balas tekanan ini bergantung kepada penanggapan otak terhadap betapa parahnya keadaan.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 128);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Aromaterapi  yang mempunyai kandungan minyak pati berikut  membantu anda sebagai pelajar:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;img title="lavender-harvest [320x200]" src="http://sutrainfo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/lavender-harvest-320x200.jpg?w=150&amp;amp;h=99" alt="lavender-harvest [320x200]" height="99" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;1.

Sebagaimana yang kita tahu, minyak pati Lavender selalu digunakan sebagai minyak wangi dan kini juga boleh digunakan untuk aromaterapi. Bauannya yang lembut memberi perasaan tenang dan damai kepada pemakai. Ianya mengurangkan kesakitan sakit kepala apabila dihidu bauannya menggunakan diffuser ataupun disapukan terus ke kulit anda.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;img title="rosemary [320x200]" src="http://sutrainfo.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/rosemary-320x200.jpg?w=150&amp;amp;h=124" alt="rosemary [320x200]" height="124" width="150" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;2. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Rosemary:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; Mengasah dan merangsang minda&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Michales Scholes dari pusat Pengajian Kajian Aromatic Michales Scholes berpendapat samada secara sendirian atau bercampur bersama, lavender, chamomile, peppermint, spearmint dan &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;rosemary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; membolehkan seseorang itu relaks serta menurunkan tekanan darah.

Abdullah bin Hj Ahmad Badawi pada 13 Januari 2005. Agensi badan berkanun ini merupakan pusat bioteknologi pertama yang ditubuhkan di Malaysia. Dibawah PBM, terdapat dua entiti yang menjadi tunjang kepada operasi keseluruhannya iaitu Institut Bioteknologi Melaka sebagai pusat penyelidikan dan pembangunan dan Melaka Biotech Holding Sdn. Bhd. yang berperanan sebagai agensi pelaburan dan pengkomersilan produk hasilan pakar penyelidik di Institut. PBM ini ditubuhkan oleh kerajaan Negeri Melaka dengan tujuan untuk mempromosikan penyelidikan dan pembangunan yang berasaskan bioteknologi di Negeri Melaka.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dengan usaha yang berterusan, sokongan dan galakkan dari Kerajaan Negeri Melaka, PBM akan terus menjadikan bidang bioteknologi sebagai salah satu agenda bagi mencapai matlamat Melaka Maju 2010 dengan menyahut seruan YAB Perdana Menteri dalam menjadikan industri bioteknologi sebagai salah satu pemangkin pembangunan negara.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Peluang pelaburan&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Kerajaan Negeri Melaka telah menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan infrastruktur bagi pembangunan bioteknologi Negeri Melaka seperti Bio City yang dijangka dapat menarik minat pelabur asing  ke Melaka. Tidak ketinggalan, Penubuhan Taman Bioteknologi MIEL Londang turut membantu usahawan supaya terlibat secara langsung dalam bidang bioteknologi. Bantuan kewangan dari agensi perbankan dan juga geran pembangunan perniagaan merupakan antara usaha kerajaan bagi menarik minat pelabur untuk melabur di Melaka.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Antara pencapaian PBM yang terkini adalah penubuhan makmal toksikologi yang yang berfungsi untuk menjalankan ujian toksikologi yang melibatkan pelbagai sektor seperti perindustrian, alam sekitar, pengeluaran makanan dan kosmetik. Dengan adanya perkhidmatan ini, pelabur yang terlibat secara langsung atau tidak, dapat menikmati perkhidmatan ini supaya dapat menjalankan aktiviti masing-masing dengan selamat. Selain itu PBM turut menawarkan beberapa perkhidmatan ujian klinikal antaranya, antioksidan khusus untuk pelabur yang ingin mendapatkan pengesahan produk mereka dalam industri makanan dan kosmetik.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Selain itu, PBM telah menghasilkan dua usahawan yang berjaya untuk mengkomersilkan produk mereka untuk produk penjagaan diri dan rumah- Tropical Bioessence Sdn. Bhd. serta industri kultur tisu iaitu Invitrotech Sdn. Bhd. bagi tumbuhan yang bernilai tinggi seperti herba dan tanaman komersil. PBM mengalu-alukan kedatangan para pelabur untuk melabur dalam bidang bioteknologi dengan menyertai Program Pemindahan Teknologi (Technology Transfer)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Sutra Essential @ &lt;a href="http://sutraessential.blogspot.com/"&gt;sutraessential.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Untuk maklumat lanjut, sila hubungi Tel : +606 2323 500, Faks : +606 2323 887 Email : aromasutra@live.com

Currently we are&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;the major supplier in Malaysia for essential oil, essential oil-based products and&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;also herbal extracts. This outstanding performance throughout the years reflects&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;our close harmony with both industry trends and the values of natural products&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;consumers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;TBESB has demonstrated a strong business growth.

As you will see from the following descriptions, most extraction techniques are based on the fact that the majority of essential oils mix with oils, fats, alcohol, and certain solvents, but not with water. Some methods are more suitable for certain plants than others, depending on the plant's chemical make-up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table align="right" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; " src="http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/how-essential-oils-work-2.jpg" alt="Producing essential oils involves complex and elaborate equipment." border="0" height="255" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Producing essential oils involves&lt;br /&gt;complex and elaborate equipment, and&lt;br /&gt;is beyond the scope of anything&lt;br /&gt;you can do in the home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=" margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Distillation &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most pure essential oils are extracted from plants through steam distillation. Freshly picked plants are suspended over boiling water, and the steam pulls the oils out of the plant. The steam rises, is captured in a vessel, and is pushed along tubing. Then the steam is rapidly cooled, causing it to condense back into water. Since water and essential oils do not mix, the two separate, and the essential oil is collected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A byproduct of this distillation is the remaining water. Some plants contain aromatic compounds that are so water soluble, they remain in the water that is left over after distillation. Such waters are very fragrant and are prized by aromatherapists, who refer to them as hydrosols. In aromatherapy, hydrosols are used mostly in cosmetics to moisturize skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Expression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The most direct method of producing essential oils is pressing them from the plant's flesh, seeds, and skins -- a process similar to that used to obtain olive oil. This technique is used mostly with citrus peels, such as orange, lemon, lime, or grapefruit, because the oil in their peels is easily pressed out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Enfleurage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This very old method is rarely used today except in France. It is a long and complicated process that has become very expensive. Blossoms are set on sheets of warm fat that absorb the oil from the flowers. Originally animal fat or lard was used, but now vegetable fats are more common. Once the essential oil has been incorporated into the fat, the "exhausted" flowers are removed and replaced with fresh ones. The process is repeated several times until the fat is infused with fragrance. Then the fat is separated out with solvents, leaving just the essential oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Solvents&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aromatherapists tend to shy away from oils obtained through chemical solvents, worrying that slight traces of the solvent may remain even though they are supposed to be completely removed. First, the plant is dissolved in a solvent such as benzene, hexane, or chlorure of methylene. The solvent, which has a low boiling point, is then evaporated off, sometimes with the help of a machine that uses vacuum or centrifugal force to help pull it away from the essential oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The resulting oils are called "absolutes." A similar method uses paraffin waxes as the solvent, but does not evaporate them off. Instead, the remaining paraffins cause the final product to be solid, and thus it is called "concrete."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though the evaporated solvent is recaptured and cooled back into liquid so that it can be reused, this process is still expensive. As a result, it is reserved for costly oils that cannot be distilled, such as jasmine and vanilla, or for rose essential oil, which is slightly less expensive when obtained through this process rather than through distillation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Carbon Dioxide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New methods of obtaining essential oils are currently being introduced. One of the most interesting processes, although extremely expensive, extracts the oil with carbon dioxide. The delightful result is an essential oil scent that is very close to that of the plant itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on the way the essential oil is produced the quality and concentration can be greatly affected. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="  ;" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;h1 style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: bold; " class="articlePageTitle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Essential Oil Quality&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=" margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Since they are products of nature, the quality of essential oils is affected by growing conditions, the particular species of plant, extraction techniques, and storage, among other factors. Even the type of soil, temperature, and cloud cover affect some oils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To determine the quality of an essential oil, you'll need to be concerned with three crucial characteristics -- purity, grade, and integrity. The information below and lots of experience will guide you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Purity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Purity is an important concern to anyone purchasing essential oils. They can be adulterated, cut, or entirely replaced with a cheaper substitute or extended or diluted with vegetable oils, alcohol, or solvents. These substitutes and extenders might not be derived from a plant at all. But even if they are, the oil will not be as potent as it should be, nor will it function as expected. Unfortunately, a label claiming a product is a pure essential oil is no guarantee that it is the real thing. An oil labelled rose or vanilla may have been produced in a laboratory out of synthetic chemicals, but it can still be labeled an essential oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inexpensive oils such as orange, cedar, or peppermint are seldom altered. However, alteration is common with expensive oils that are in great demand, such as rose, melissa, and jasmine.&lt;br /&gt;Dilution with vegetable oil is usually easy to detect. Dilution with alcohol may be a bit more difficult to determine, but these oils do have a slight alcohol odor. Oils adulterated with a clear, non-oily solvent are the most difficult to recognize. This is a potential health hazard as well, since such solvents are readily absorbed into the body when rubbed on the skin or inhaled through the lungs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Grades&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many essential oils are sold to distributors in different grades. Their prices often reflect this: The better grades command up to double the cost of the lesser grades. For example, lavender is commonly available in at least a dozen different grades and lemon in four. The lesser grades are often still pure essential oil, but they contain less of the most important aromatic principles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Different processing methods can produce different grades. For example, redistillation produces oil that is stronger in some compounds than others. This is typically done with peppermint oil so the chewing gum and candy it flavors has a lighter, fresher taste and smell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once your nose has had a little experience with essential oils, you'll find that higher grades generally are more intense and carry a richer bouquet of fragrance. Lower quality oils usually smell less complicated or weak because they do not contain a full range of aromatic compounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When two bottles of the same kind of oil smell differently, it does not necessarily mean that one is better than the other. The best quality oils are similar to fine wine in that even experts don't agree on their favorites. For example, one geranium essential oil might carry a distinctly stronger hint of citrus while another smells more like rose. Which is better? Most people will prefer the rose, but that doesn't make it better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Integrity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By integrity we mean that the oil is pure and natural and comes from a single species of plant (and probably even from the same region and harvest). An oil with integrity is not whipped up in a laboratory or composed of cheaper essential oils. But inexpensive lemongrass or citronella essential oils sometimes masquerade as the very expensive melissa (lemon balm) oil. To make an artificial rose oil in the laboratory, rose geranium may be used as a starting point, then chemically altered to mimic, although never completely accurately, a rose scent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem here is that although the end product still contains only pure, natural essential oils, it will not have the properties you want and expect. Asking for an oil by its Latin name may help, but it doesn't guarantee that you will get what you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=" ;" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=" ;" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;h1 style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: bold; " class="articlePageTitle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;How to Buy Essential Oils&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=" margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;At first, it may seem a formidable task to detect the difference between good and poor grades of oil or to spot a synthetic. But you'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy it becomes, after only a little practice, to sniff out good essential oils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until your nose knows, you'll have to trust your source. Each essential oil company decides the quality it will offer. Some companies consistently sell the poorer, cheaper grades while others prefer to sell the higher grades. They will rarely offer you, as a retail consumer, a choice in grades. As a result, some lines tend to be more expensive than others. But do not use price alone to judge an oil's quality, since lower grades of oil may be sold for far more than they are worth. Remember, too, that store clerks do not always know much about aromatherapy and may naively think that anything labeled an essential oil comes from the plant named. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;img style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-width: initial; border-color: initial; " alt="Cheaper essential oils may actually end up costing you more money in the end because they are weaker." src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_5yfh17huPtg/SfAJtuEArfI/AAAAAAAACuk/2XuHfW4V6MI/_MG_9557.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;©&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Sutra Essential&lt;br /&gt;Cheaper essential oils may actually end up costing you more&lt;br /&gt;money in the end because they are weaker and you might have&lt;br /&gt;to use more to achieve the same effect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 14pt; "&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=" margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Sophisticated advertising and fancy packaging may also be misleading. And, because not everyone cares about the healing effects, a few companies have filled the growing demand for scents with the cheapest means at their disposal. The most unscrupulous will sell low quality oils for the price of better ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This being said, you will find oils and related supplies at natural food stores, herb stores, specialty mail-order catalogs, and of course, at aromatherapy and skin care outlets. Some stores also have retail sites on the Internet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some essential oil mail-order companies are run by aromatherapists who stake their reputation on supplying high quality oils, so they may be the best way for you to get what you want. However, you need to know exactly what you want since you will not have the opportunity to sniff before purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Price&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is great variation in the price of essential oils because some are more expensive to produce. In Bulgaria, schoolgirls labor in the misty morning, picking delicate rose petals just before the hot rays of the sun can release the fragrant oils into the air. Bulgaria produces the world's finest rose oil, but it takes about 600 pounds of petals to make a single ounce of oil! Rose oil also is expensive because the flowers must be carefully cultivated, pruned, and hand-picked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jasmine oil is expensive for similar reasons. Producing an ounce of pure jasmine requires 20 days labor for an experienced picker, followed by costly methods of extraction. As a result, rose and jasmine demand top dollar. On the other hand, peppermint is much less costly because the plant contains more essential oil, is relatively easy to grow and tend, and is harvested with machinery. The price of essential oils varies from $5 to an incredible $800 an ounce or more, reflecting the difficulty involved in their production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many other factors, such as difficult growing conditions, the rarity of the plant, or where the plant is grown, affect essential oil prices. Essential oils produced in the United States automatically demand a higher price to cover the greater costs of labor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Surprisingly, cheaper oils will probably end up costing you more in the long run. Lesser quality oils are often weaker than high quality ones, and you will have to use more of them to achieve the same effect as a smaller amount of the high quality oil. Depending on how much more you have to use, you may end up spending more than if you'd simply purchased the better quality oil to begin with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=" ;" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=" ;" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;h1 style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: bold; " class="articlePageTitle"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;How to Store Essential Oils&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style=" margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Once you've purchased quality essential oils, you certainly will want to keep them that way. Store them in glass containers. Some essential oils can actually dissolve plastic, and storing them even temporarily in it may contaminate the oil. Don't store essential oils in dropper bottles either, as it doesn't take long for the rubber seals and squeeze bulbs to melt into a gooey mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The color of the bottle doesn't really matter. Just be sure to keep all essential oils out of direct sunlight and away from heat so they don't lose their potency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Essential oils are natural preservatives and will help preserve your carrier oils. Their scent will change and fade over time, however, and eventually lose its quality. Properly stored, most oils will keep for at least several years. The citrus oils, such as orange and lemon, are most vulnerable to losing their smell, but even they will keep for a couple of years if refrigerated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few essential oils, including patchouli, clary sage, benzoin, vetiver, and sandalwood, actually help fix the scent of other aromas combined with them. And they get better with age. The same is true for thick resins such as myrrh. Patchouli that has been stored for many years smells so rich, few people recognize it -- even those who otherwise dislike it! Essential oils such as these become yet more valuable with age. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="  ;" class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style=" font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;ABOUT THE AUTHOR:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Kathi Keville&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; is director of the American Herb Association and editor of the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;American Herb Association Quarterly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; newsletter.

This is true whether the result was expected, unexpected, or even an unintended consequence of the treatment. An adverse effect, on the other hand, is a harmful and undesired effect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What constitutes a therapeutic effect versus a side effect is a matter of both the nature of the situation in which a treatment is used and the goals of treatment. There is no inherent difference between therapeutic and undesired side effects; both responses are behavioral/physiologic changes which occur as a response to the treatment strategy or agent. However, those changes which are viewed as desirable, given the situation, are called therapeutic; those undesirable for the situation are viewed as unfavorable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5yfh17huPtg/Sdtdz7iaI9I/AAAAAAAACGs/ND0BVB3ACNw/s400/DSC03062-1.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 400px;" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_5yfh17huPtg/Sdtdz7iaI9I/AAAAAAAACGs/ND0BVB3ACNw/s400/DSC03062-1.JPG" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div&gt;For example, it widely promoted that "natural" or "organic" agents are more healthy. However, everything in the world has multiple and varying responses when used; both desirable and undesirable effects are inherent parts of the total response. Even water – on which all life on earth depends – can have undesirable, even fatal effects; while increased intake of water can save a dehydrated patient, too much water can lead to water intoxication, sometimes resulting in death, such as in severe pulmonary edema.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As a simple example, the therapeutic effect of diphenhydramine, when used for nasal congestion, is to lessen mucous membrane secretions and the side effect is drowsiness. However, when used for insomnia, as in many over-the-counter preparations, the therapeutic effect of diphenhydramine is drowsiness and the side effect is mucous membrane dryness, which is undesirable, especially if the person using the agent for sleep is already suffering from dry membranes. The more important issue is not the agent, but the situation in which the therapeutic agent is used; a change in the situation can easily totally reverse what is usually considered a therapeutic versus an undesirable side effect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Diphenhydramine was originally marketed under the brand name Benadryl in the early 1950s. When taken orally, it typically induces two behavioral responses: (1) drying of mucous membranes, potentially helpful in cases of increased nasal congestion and (2) drowsiness. Diphenhydramine was promoted for reducing nasal congestion, thus response 1 was the considered the therapeutic effect. Since response 2, the drowsiness response, was typically not viewed as desirable, drowsiness was termed a side effect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When diphenhydramine is used as treatment, these two effects, individual responses, are always bound together and cannot be separated. Even though the dose can be changed and the relative degree of the two responses may be reduced or increased and the degree of the two different responses may be somewhat different at different doses, the two responses cannot be separated. For simplicity of illustration, only two typical responses are mentioned. For completeness, be aware that as with most treatments people usually exhibit additional behavioral responses to diphenhydramine beyond the two mentioned.

[1]&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The desire to simplify clinical situations and variables is one of the important reasons that physicians often prefer highly refined and regulated prescription drug preparations, as opposed to less refined and regulated products, often marketed as "natural" to imply safety.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Products from nature are essentially always complex mixtures of large numbers of different chemical agents, many only partially understood in term of usual desirable and undesirable responses, relationships of these effects to specific doses and with varying amounts of dose present within any given sample available.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The pharmaceutical industry highly purifies, concentrates and sometimes makes very controlled modifications of agents obtained from natural sources, when there is no alternative source, so as to select out and greatly reduce the variables in the treatment agent offered. Ratios of relative responses, often summarized using the concept therapeutic index, are utilized to help understand and communicate treatment responses.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A pharmaceutical grade agent does not make the patient any more simple but it does greatly simplify, narrow and make more definable and predictable both the usual desirable and undesirable effects of the treatment agent, based on careful tracking of the responses of many individuals who have taken the agent, in widely varying amounts and situations, in the past. This purification can greatly improve the probability for both the patient and the physician that the resulting responses to the treatment are likely to be more predictable and controllable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Untuk maklumat lanjut, sila hubungi Tel : +606 2323 500, Faks : +606 2323 887 Email : aromasutra@live.com

Serai wangi juga tumbuh liar di kebanyakan negara di Asia Tropika, Amerika dan Afrika. Di Malaysia, serai wangi biasanya ditanam di halaman rumah sebagai tanaman dapur dan kebelakangan ini terdapat beberapa pengusaha yang berminat untuk menanamnya bagi menghasilkan minyak pati. Serai wangi ialah sejenis tanaman rumput yang tinggi dan mempunyai rimbunan daun yang lebat. Ia boleh tumbuh sehingga 1.0–1.5 m. Daunnya bersifat tirus, panjang sehingga 70 – 80 cm dan 2 – 5 cm lebar. Ia berwarna hijau muda, kasar dengan urat yang selari dan mempunyai aroma yang lebih kuat jika dibandingkan dengan serai makan. Serai wangi jarang berbunga dan hanya berbunga bila sudah cukup matang iaitu pada peringkat umur melebihi 8 bulan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Botani Tanaman:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pokok:  Serai wangi ialah rumput saka yang tinggi dan berbau wangi.  Ia mengeluarkan rumpun daun yang lebat daripada rizom yang padat dan boleh membesar sehingga 1-1.5 m tinggi. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Daun:  Daun sesil yang berwarna hijau dan licin.  Purata saiz ialah 60 cm panjang x 2.5 cm lebar. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hujung daun adalah runcing. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Batang: Tiada batang tulen.  Sarung daun berperanan sebagai batang palsu. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Akar/rizom:  Rizom padat dan merayap.  Berwarna kekuningan. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;BAHAGIAN YANG DIGUNAKAN:  Daun&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Penuaian Hasil:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kematangan tanaman:  2.5 - 3 bulan &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cara mengutip hasil:  Bahagian hasil dikerat 5 cm atas pada batang palsu.  Daun dijemur layu &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;sehingga kandungan air dikurangkan sebanyak 30-50 % sebelum diproses untuk mengeluarkan pati minyak. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kutipan hasil berikutnya dilakukan selepas jangkamasa 1.5 bulan. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kegunaan dalam perubatan:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Sakit perut:  Minyak pati disapukan untuk melegakan kesakitan&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Menghalau serangga:  Daun kering digunakan sebagai penghalau serangga&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. Cucian selepas bersalin:  Gunakan gandingan air rebusan serai wangi, gandarusa dan daun sirih.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; Kegunaan bahan kimia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

Minyak pati daripada spesies ini juga digemari industri minyak pati," kata Dr Nor Azah, yang berkhidmat dengan FRIM sejak 1987.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;ANTARA KAJIAN FRIM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FRIM menjalankan kajian ke atas banyak tumbuhan yang berpotensi untuk digunakan ekstraknya sejak awal 1990an.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kajian kami bertumpu kepada kajian proses mengekstrak. Kita juga masuk ke hutan dan membuat pemilihan rawak ke atas tumbuhan yang mengandungi minyak pati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Usaha yang dibuat oleh FRIM ini adalah antara penyelidikan minyak pati yang terawal di Malaysia," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurut Dr Nor Azah, mulai 1994, kerja penyelidikan menjurus kepada kajian menghalau serangga termasuk nyamuk dengan fokus kepada tumbuhan yang menghasilkan minyak yang kuat baunya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kami dapati minyak pati mempunyai penawar semula jadi untuk dijadikan bahan penghalau serangga, selain bahan pewangi," tambahnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Apabila FRIM menubuhkan bahagian tumbuhan ubatan pada 1995, kerja penyelidikan difokus kepada aktiviti bioaktiviti. Pada masa itu, denggi adalah penyakit yang sering berlaku dari semasa ke semasa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Penggunaan pelbagai jenis penyembur serangga untuk menghalau atau mematikan nyamuk Aedes, lama kelamaan akan menjadikan nyamuk itu kebal kepada penyembur serangga," jelasnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurut Dr Nor Azah, penyelidikan dibuat ke atas lebih 30 ekstrak tumbuhan termasuk ekstrak tumbuhan serai wangi, beberapa spesies limau (Citrus), medang, gaharu, kemoyang dan sireh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;DUA FUNGSI MINYAK PATI&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penyelidikan lanjut, katanya, perlu dijalankan ke atas tumbuhan yang menghasilkan minyak yang harum yang boleh bertindak bukan sahaja sebagai penghalau serangga tetapi juga boleh digunakan sebagai haruman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bagaimanapun, beliau memberitahu bahawa kajian yang dijalankan di FRIM mendapati tumbuhan beraroma seperti &lt;i&gt;Citrus&lt;/i&gt; (limau), &lt;i&gt;Ocimum&lt;/i&gt; (selasih), &lt;i&gt;Cymbopogon &lt;/i&gt;(serai) dan &lt;i&gt;Cinnamomum&lt;/i&gt;(medang) menunjukkan potensi ciri menghalau nyamuk apabila diuji ke atas larva atau jentik-jentik nyamuk &lt;i&gt;Aedes aegyptii.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kesan minyak pati dalam mencegah gigitan nyamuk terutama Aedes aegyptii dinilai dengan menggunakan kaedah American Society Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard E951-85," jelasnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Nor Azah berkata minyak pati yang paling efektif ditemui kebanyakannya daripada minyak pati Citrus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Nyamuk tak suka bau-bau tertentu dan akan lari bila tak tahan dengan bau minyak pati. Fokus kita sekarang ialah untuk kesan minyak pati bagi mematikan atau memengsankan nyamuk," jelasnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tambah beliau, penyelidikan minyak pati yang sedang dijalankan di FRIM adalah juga untuk memahami dengan lebih mendalam kesan terapeutik tumbuhan berkenaan, antaranya ke atas kulit manusia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Semua benda walaupun semula jadi, kalau digunakan berlebihan ada mudaratnya. Minyak pati tak digalak digunakan secara terus. Perlu diolah dalam bentuk krim atau losen sebagai contoh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ada juga sesetengah minyak pati yang mungkin mendatangkan alahan kepada wanita mengandung," Dr Nor Azah memberi sedikit peringatan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;BEBERAPA HASIL KAJIAN&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antara kejayaan kajian yang dibuat FRIM ialah minyak pati penghalau nyamuk yang diberi nama&lt;i&gt;'Deesrept'&lt;/i&gt;. Ia mengandungi satu minyak pati atau sebatian beberapa minyak pati dari keluarga citrus (limau).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gabungan campuran minyak pati itu, jelas beliau, boleh diolah dalam bentuk krim atau losen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurut Dr Nor Azah, minyak pati itu diekstrak dengan menggunakan proses penyulingan hidro dan disaring kimia bagi mengekalkan tahap ketinggian mutu minyak patinya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satu lagi hasil yang mempunyai potensi besar, menurut Dr Nor Azah, ialah produk minyak pati dengan kesan adultisidal iaitu mengesan dan membunuh nyamuk dewasa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Produk ini berasaskan herba semula jadi terdiri daripada sebatian minyak pati sebagai penghalau serangga dan mempunyai manfaat aromaterapi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Aroma yang menyenangkan ini begitu menyegarkan dan menjadikan kita relaks. Kajian FRIM menunjukkan produk minyak pati ini boleh menghalau nyamuk ke tahap boleh membunuhnya," jelas Dr Nor Azah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau berkata produk berkenaan boleh juga digunakan sebagai penyembur badan atau penyegar udara.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katanya sebuah syarikat Bumiputera sedang mengusahakan produk berkenaan untuk tujuan komersial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;PERLU KAJIAN LEBIH MENDALAM&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bagaimanapun, beliau berkata penggunaan ekstrak herba dan minyak pati memerlukan kajian yang lebih mendalam terutama dari segi keselamatan (tidak toksik) serta mempunyai tahap keberkesanan yang optimum," jelasnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr Nor Azah berkata pihaknya akan membuat lebih banyak kajian kerana ada banyak lagi minyak pati dari khazanah hutan negara yang belum diterokai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau turut memberitahu bahawa kesedaran masyarakat umum mengenai produk alternatif untuk mengatasi masalah nyamuk sememangnya tinggi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namun yang menjadi masalahnya ialah kekurangan produk di pasaran, antaranya kerana sumber bahan mentah yang tidak mencukupi untuk diproses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Penggunaan bahan mentah herba asli juga menjadikan kos pemprosesan tinggi, tambahnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FRIM sendiri, kata beliau, sudah mewujudkan satu stesen kecil penyelidikan di Maran, Pahang untuk menanam tumbuhan herba termasuk serai wangi untuk dijadikan bahan penyelidikan dan tujuan komersial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dalam masa yang sama, FRIM, juga kata Dr Nor Azah, turut mengambil langkah proaktif dalam menjaga sumber alam semula jadi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sememangnya hutan kita mengandungi banyak khazanah herba yang berpotensi tetapi jika kita ambil apa-apa spesies untuk kajian, kita akan tanam balik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kita kena usahakan penanaman ini sebab kita tidak mahu orang berkata kita ini hanya pandai buat produk mesra alam tetapi dalam masa yang sama kita juga musnahkan hutan," katanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- BERNAMA&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Sutra Essential @ sutraessential.blogspot.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Untuk maklumat lanjut, sila hubungi Tel : +606 2323 500, Faks : +606 2323 887 Email : aromasutra@live.com

Bahagian tumbuh-tumbuhan di mana minyak pati boleh diperolehi termasuklah bunga, buah (kulit), daun, biji, akar atau keseluruhan tumbuhan. Minyak pati biasanya digunakan di dalam industri wangian dan kosmetik terutama bagi penghasilan minyak wangi, penyegar udara, bahan cucian dan mandian, aromaterapi, minyak urut, balm dan sebagainya. Minyak pati juga berguna di dalam industri makanan sebagai bahan perisa dan bauan seperti minyak pudina di dalam gula-gula, minyak cengkih dan kayu manis di dalam minuman ringan. Selain itu, minyak pati digunakan dalam pengeluaran bahan kawalan serangga, antiseptik, anti kulat (fungal) dan pelbagai aplikasi dalam industri perubatan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Industri herba Malaysia mempunyai potensi yang tinggi untuk berkembang dan produk berasaskan herba tempatan (tropika) mempunyai ruang pasaran luas (domestik dan ekspot). Dianggarkan saiz pasaran minyak pati dunia ialah sebanyak USD 7.5 billion. Pada masa ini negara kita banyak bergantung kepada pengimportan minyak pati untuk kegunaan tempatan. Nilai import minyak pati ke dalam Malaysia adalah sebanyak RM 200 juta setahun dan nilai permintaan tempatan untuk produk yang berasaskan minyak pati (kosmetik dan produk penjagaan diri) dianggarkan sebanyak RM500 juta setahun. Justeru itu, industri herba Malaysia berpotensi untuk berkembang dengan lebih pesat lagi jika pengeluaran minyak pati berskala komersil dapat dibangunkan. Secara keseluruhannya kegiatan ini merangkumi aktiviti pengeluaran tanaman, pengurusan lepas tuai, pengekstraktan minyak pati, pembangunan produk berasaskan minyak pati serta perawatan bahan buangan kepada silaj dan kompos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Industri herba tempatan telah berkembang dengan pesatnya sejak kebelakangan ini tetapi tidak seimbang. Untuk membangunkan industri herba tempatan, pembangunan menyeluruh industri tersebut perlu dilaksanakan termasuk pembangunan pasaran dan penjenamaan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Di dalam program inkubator teknologi minyak pati MARDI, beberapa teknologi telah dibangunkan. Program ini merangkumi teknologi pengeluaran tanaman, pengeringan, penyulingan, penghasilan produk-produk berasaskan minyak pati, silaj dan kompos. Tanaman-tanaman yang telah dibangunkan terdiri daripada tiga jenis herba iaitu nilam, serai makan dan serai wangi. Teknologi penanaman telah dapat menghasilkan masing-masing sebanyak 30 tan, 40 tan dan 55 tan sehektar/tahun bagi tanaman nilam, serai makan dan serai wangi. Proses pengeringan pula telah dapat dilakukan melalui pembangunan teknologi pengeringan rumah solar yang berkapasiti pengeluaran sebanyak 750 kg/sehari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Teknologi pengekstraktan minyak pati melibatkan dua proses iaitu proses penyulingan (distillation) dan penyulingan berperingkat (fractionation). Proses penyulingan menggunakan wap tekanan tinggi yang dibangunkan berupaya menghasilkan 16,000 ml minyak pati sehari. Proses penyulingan berperingkat pula dapat menghasilkan minyak pati tulen berbilang gred.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Rangkaian operasi dalam inkubator teknologi produk berasaskan minyak pati meliputi sistem pemprosesan sabun, sistem pemprosesan produk toiletri bentuk cecair dan krim kosmetik, sistem pengisian produk cecair secara automatik dan sistem pembungkusan. Teknologi pemprosesan produk melibatkan pembangunan kilang yang menepati keperluan Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) dengan spesifikasi susun atur mesin dan tatacara penyusunan bilik bersesuaian. Teknologi pembangunan produk (formulasi) berasaskan minyak pati ini berupaya mengeluarkan sebanyak 15,700 ml bahan aromaterapi dan 3,000 ketul sabun penjagaan diri dan ’toileteries’ sehari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Untuk melengkapkan program inkubator teknologi minyak pati, kesemua bahan buangan dari proses ini turut dirawat menjadi silaj dan kompos untuk menambahnilaikan lagi pakej teknologi ini juga menjadikannya lebih berdaya maju dan mesra alam. Teknologi penghasilan silaj melibatkan pemeraman (fermentation) bahan buangan daripada sistem penyulingan di dalam tong kedap udara yang dicampurkan bakteria IMO (Indigenous Microbial Organism). Silaj boleh digunakan sebagai sumber serat (fiber) untuk makanan ternakan ruminan seperti lembu dan kambing. Teknologi kompos pula melibatkan pemeraman terbuka (open fermentation) bahan buangan dari penyulingan dan dicampur dengan bahan-bahan lain seperti IMO, urea dan molases. Bahan kompos yang dihasilkan amat sesuai digunakan sebagai baja organik untuk pelbagai tanaman.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Untuk mempercepatkan proses pengkomersilan teknologi ini MARDI telah membangunkan pusat inkubator teknologi minyak pati dan kilang perintis pemprosesan produk berasaskan minyak pati di Stesen MARDI Kuala Linggi, Melaka. Pusat inkubator teknologi ini telah dibangunkan sejak 2006 dan dijangka dapat melatih inkubati pertama pada penghujung tahun 2007. Jangkamasa pembangunan usahawan sebagai inkubati dalam sistem inkubator ini ialah selama 14 – 24 bulan bagi program inkubator teknologi penyulingan dan 6-12 bulan bagi penghasilan produk berasaskan minyak pati. Melalui kaedah ini sekurang-kurangnya dua syarikat inkubati dapat dibangunkan dalam setiap pusingan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Program inkubator teknologi minyak pati ini telah dibangunkan berasaskan kepada teknologi pakej yang telah dihasilkan juga unjuran analisis kewangan.

Pembangunan produk minyak pati akan dipertingkatkan kepada produk-produk spa khusus dan terpilih yang mempunyai potensi pasaran tempatan dan ekspot. Pembungkusan (packaging) dan penjenamaan (branding) yang sesuai akan juga dibangunkan di masa hadapan bagi meningkatkan penguasaan pasaran tempatan dan antarabangsa. Di masa hadapan, dijangkakan lebih ramai lagi usahawan dapat dibangunkan melalui sistem inkubator luar-capaian (out-reached incubator) yang boleh diwujudkan apabila teknologi ini dikembangkan ke kawasan-kawasan pertumbuhan yang lain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="justify" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Inkubator teknologi minyak pati ini merupakan pakej teknologi lengkap yang mengintegrasikan aktiviti-aktiviti huluan (up-stream), hiliran (down-stream) dan pemasaran (market).

Rizom (akar) halia muda biasanya berjus dan mempunyai rasa pedas yang lembut. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halia jeruk boleh dimakan sebagai snek dan air halia yang ditambah dalam teh bersama-sama madu akan menambahkan keenakannya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dari segi saintifiknya, semua jenis halia berada dalam Order Zingiberales dan Famili Zingiberaceae.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pensyarah Kanan, Institut Sains Biologi Universiti Malaya (UM), Prof. Halijah Ibrahim berkata, famili ini dapat dibezakan kerana seluruh atau bahagian tertentu tumbuhan herba ini adalah aromatik. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Menurutnya, halia tergolong dalam tumbuhan herba yang mempunyai rizom misalnya kunyit, halia dan lengkuas yang biasa digunakan dalam makanan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Keluarga Zingiberaceae mempunyai saiz yang pelbagai dan boleh dibezakan dengan taburan padat di kawasan Asia Tenggara," katanya yang telah lebih 20 tahun menjalankan kajian mengenai halia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada masa ini, terdapat 350 spesies halia yang dikenal pasti di seluruh negara, manakala Thailand mempunyai lebih 300 spesies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Biasanya halis jenis Zingiberaceae terdapat di kawasan tropika dan subtropika dan juga terdapat lebih 52 genera dengan 1,300 hingga 1,500 spesies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Di Malaysia saja terdapat 21 hingga 22 genera dengan lebih 350 spesies," hurai Halijah. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau berkata, disebabkan halia banyak digunakan dalam pelbagai budaya di seluruh dunia, halia mempunyai kepentingan dalam ekonomi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Terdapat halia yang boleh dimakan dan biasanya ditambah dalam masakan seperti rempah atau sebagai ulaman. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Kunyit atau Cucurma domestica, Zingir officianale (halia), Elettaria cardamimum (buah pelaga), Alpinia galanga (lengkuas), E elation (kantan), kaempteria galanga (cekur) biasa digunakan dalam masakan," katanya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selain dalam masakan dan minuman, keluarga halia juga banyak digunakan dalam perubatan tradisional yang menggunakan campuran herba. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sehingga kini terdapat 30 hingga 40 spesies halia yang direkodkan digunakan dalam perubatan tradisional. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tentu saja masyarakat kenal dengan Zingiber zerumbet (lempoyang), Z. ottensini (lempoyang hitam), Z. officinale var rubrum (halia bara), Ccurcuma aeruginosa (kunyit hitam/temu hitam), C. zanthorrhiza (temu lawak), C. mangga (temu pauh/mangga), C. zedoria (temu putih/kunyit putih). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Semua bahan ini banyak digunakan sebagai campuran dalam perubatan tradisional," katanya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Halia yang mempunyai bentuk bunga yang cantik dan beraroma juga boleh dijadikan tanaman hiasan dan landskap. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beberapa tanaman halia seperti Alpinia purpurata (halia merah), Z. spectabile (cut flower), Alpinia zurember (shell ginger), A. mutica, A. malaccensis, A. latiladis (landskap), Kaemferia spp. sesuai dijadikan tanaman hiasan kerana mudah dikendalikan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tanaman halia yang mempunyai aroma merupakan sumber minyak pati bagi minyak wangi, perisa dan aroma terapi. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katanya, kajian perlu dijalankan dengan mendalam memandangkan halia boleh dijadikan sumber kanji manakala dalam dunia perubatan, keluarga halia didapati mempunyai aktiviti biologi yang baik sebagai anti kanser, anti mikrobial, anti oksidan dan anti radangan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Di negara jiran Indonesia, keluarga halia seperti temu, kunyit dan halia banyak digunakan dalam jamu, kosmetik dan teh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Di sini semakin banyak produk dihasilkan daripada halia seperti teh, kosmetik, aroma terapi, krim wajah, krim pemutih dan krim anti penuaan," katanya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beliau yang menyertai Ekspedisi Lanjak Entimau di Sarawak, baru-baru ini untuk meneroka khazanah alam semula jadi berharap akan dapat menemui lebih banyak spesies bagi menambah lagi bilangan, mengemaskini data kepelbagaian halia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pelbagai aspek kajian mengenai spesies yang baru ditemui dan terdapat kajian yang akan menjadi asas kepada etnobotanikal terutama dalam kepentingan perubatan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ini akan menjurus kepada menemui dan memulihara spesies endemik yang masih tidak diketahui kegunaannya," katanya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Katanya lagi, pihaknya akan mengkaji spesies halia yang berpotensi bagi tumbuhan ornamental untuk dibiakbaka secara tisu kultur untuk dikomersialkan.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sutra Essential @ sutraessential.blogspot.com&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Untuk maklumat lanjut, sila hubungi Tel : +606 2323 500, Faks : +606 2323 887 Email : aromasutra@live.com
