Begitu juga untuk rawatan, tiada rawatan yang dapat memberi penyelesaian segera. Jika ada pun, ianya hanya bersifat sementara hanya sekadar untuk menenggelamkan rasa sakit tersebut, sedangkan masalah atau gangguan tersebut masih terus berkembang. Oleh itu, dalam pesakit berikhtiar merawat menggunakan mana-mana perkhidmatan perubatan komplementari dan alternatif, adalah digalakkan agar membuat ulang-rawatan daripada rawatan yang sama sehinggalah masalah pesakit diatasi. Masa yang diambil bukanlah sekelip mata, kadangkala mengambil masa enam bulam hingga bertahun bagi masalah yang kronik.

Namun jika pesakit konsisten dengan ulang-rawatan yang sama dan redha akan ia, pesakit akan dapat memerhati dan merasa sendiri akan perubahan yang positif sepanjang ulang-rawatan tersebut.

       Symptoms may start with a slight cold, fever or cough and mostly these are unnoticeable. Then one might feel there is grit in the eyes. It feels like sand in the eyes when actually it is not. At this stage, if precautions are taken early, it might not get worse. Then, the white eye will increasing become more red than normal. Pain and itchiness can be felt. However, vision is not affected so not to worry. Might have trouble keeping the eyes open though. More disturbing is the tears. Tears sticking to the eye lashes makes it hard to keep the eyes open. Things become worse when the tears get sticky when waking up in the morning and might lead to difficulty opening the eyes.

       It might of great help keeping the hands away from the eyes. Avoid rubbing them. If you have to, make them the hands are always kept clean, nails clipped and always wash the hands preferably with disinfectant. If you have to clean the eyes, use separate tissue for the left and right eye. Always use new clean tissues each and every time.

           Refering to individuals who had taken damiana tea, I decided to make one. 7 fresh damiana leaves were plucked, washed, hand-mashed and dried in the oven. The dried damiana leaves are then put in a mug of very hot water. Waited 15 minutes to cool it down comfortable enough to take the damiana tea by small sips.

           Within an hour, I could already feel the warmth flowing through the whole body out to them limbs. Maybe 7 leaves was too high for the dose, the next thing I found myself having a fever. Along with that I was having a series ultra vivid dreams I thought they were so real. However, the fever subsided by the second day and so was the dreams. Being always stressed with the politics at the academics work, I found myself being much more relaxed. Took the blood pressure measurements and astonishingly, the systolic blood pressure went down from 139 to 120 mmHg and the diastolic from 110 to 80 mmHg. I’ve proved myself that damiana tea works for me, I thought, but no! It works for both me and my wife. Had a long lasting erection and a long night too! In short, it does reduce blood pressure, acts as an anti-depressant and stimulates the genital area and there might be more benefits coming ahead.

           Damiana, when consumed together in blend with guarana and yerba mate makes a good appetite suppressant formula for weight control. In this blend guarana serves as the core appetite suppresant, guarana boosts the body’s metabolism and yerba mate as a source of anti-oxidant.

           Whatever it maybe, I’d always suggest to always practice caution regarding the dosage. Please always do not be over excited and it would always be the best to consult your nearby herbalist or medical specialist.

           On reaching the lawn of my parent’s home, I was surprised at the sight of red coloured bushes covering almost the entire ground. Yes! It’s the Roselle fruits.

           The Roselle seeds and fruits lately have been a topic of interest here. Roselle seeds are shared among the villagers. There are also a variety of roselle seeds available. One that produces fruits with long “tentacles” (calyxes) and the other with short ones. From the Roselle fruits, one can make health drinks, jam and the seeds can be an alternative source of affordable proteins and anti-oxidants too.

           I was offered a handful of dried roselle seeds. Planted them in the raised bed garden in front of the house porch and by the third month, flowers and fruits can be seen sprouting in enormous amounts.

           The calyxes that are removed from the ripe fruits are boiled in hot water for an 30 minutes. Add honey (prefered) or sugar and you got yourself a citrus-tasting ‘ribena’ @ roselle drink rich in Vitamin C. References has also shown that the Roselle anti-oxidant properties is also good in annihilating the bad cholesterol in the blood stream. This characteristic also lowers the blood pressure in Hypertensions. Research has highlight its potential to control weight in obesity individuals. So this is great news for us and those with the so-called modern lifestyle @ fast-food health practice.

           For tea-lovers, roselle healthy drink is also known as the Hibiscus Tea since the scientific name for roselle is Hibiscus Sabdariffa L. Daily drinks of 3 cups of Hibiscus Tea for a month may reduce systolic blood pressure in mild hypertensions. Other than having the calyxes as a tea, the leaves can be eaten raw or cooked in curry and serve as a laxative for constipation.
