Crown of gods (Mahkota Dewa) Fruit

It's natural for very few people know the crown of gods. Moreover its benefits. In fact, in many research institutions dealing with medicinal plant research has not been found. 
In fact, the palace of Solo and Yogyakarta has long been known and used it as a medicinal plant.
Today, this plant seemed to come down from heaven as the "savior gods" of the sick. Various witness who stated they had felt Khasiatnya.

During this crown of leaves and fruit of the gods used the Indonesian community, especially in Java, as the drug of skin diseases, itching, and eczema. The disease is characterized by symptoms of itching, signs of allergy to a particular agent that encourages the body's cells out histamine.

Problem skin's ability to fight disease is Sumastuti proved. From studies in vitro using guinea pig small intestine, is known, it is true crown of leaves and fruit of the gods have the effect of antihistamines. This means that these plants can be scientifically justified its use as a drug itching from insect bites or caterpillars, eczema, and other diseases due to allergies.

Other research we are still waiting to prove the efficacy of such an extraordinary number of people perceived above. However, the story of mouth seems to have made people, especially the sick and generally almost given up hope, trust. So, people started looking for a gang of merit crown gods.

Not a few who tried to plant it in the yard of the house. In fact, anyone seen "epidemic" as a business opportunity to cultivate and process into products of traditional medicine or herbs with a variety of forms.

Made as "tea"

Plant crown was not the case god difficult. Plants, which can live both in height from 10 to 1000 m above sea level., It can be grown from seed or cuttings results.

Although planting can in a pot or directly in the ground, its growth would be better if planted in the ground. Plants from seeds usually have fruit at age 10 - 12 months. Derived from cuttings, it should bear fruit more quickly.

Fruit is the most widely used as natural medicines, in addition to leaves and stems. Of the three parts, namely the skin and flesh of the fruit, the shell (shell beans), and seeds, which are generally used fruit skin and flesh and shells. The young fruit is green and bright red parents.

Unfortunately, what compounds are contained in the fruit parts, still has not been revealed in detail. Just, Hutapea et al. (1999), as quoted Sumastuti, states, in the leaves and fruit skin dewo makuto contained saponins and flavonoid compounds, each of which has the effect of allergy and antihistamines.

Fresh, fruit skin and flesh of young gods crown-Sepet Sepet was bitter. While old-Sepet Sepet slightly sweet. If fresh food will cause swelling in the mouth, thrush, drunk, and even poisoning. What causes it, is not known with certainty. Therefore, not advisable to eat fresh.

Shell has a sense of Sepet Sepet-bitter, more bitter than the skin and flesh. This section is also not recommended for direct consumption because it can lead to drunkenness, dizziness, even fainting. However, when processed, this section is more efficacious than the skin and flesh of fruit. He can treat severe diseases like breast cancer, uterine cancer, lung disease, and cirrhosis of the liver.

There's a reason why the seed is not consumed by the god crowns. "Seeds are poisonous. If chewed, we can throw up and tongue numb, ". Therefore, this section only used to treat skin diseases.

Of course to make the flesh of the fruit or the shell as a drug, need processing first. Can be used as dried fruit, tea racik, or instant potions. However, is often done by making herb tea and instant racik.

Another part that could be used drug is stems and leaves. Trunk crown empirically god can treat bone cancer. While the leaves can cure impotence, dysentery, allergies, and tumors. How to use is to boil the leaves and drank the water.

Do not be surprised. Once the crown of the god to drink potions, we immediately felt the sleepiness attacks. This effect is normal. Another effect is drunk. To eliminate this effect it is recommended to drink more water. For further consumption, the dose should be reduced crown god. If it still drunk, you should temporarily stop first. In addition to this adverse effect was still there the effect of "good" it.

After the patients taking the crown of the god (mahkota) himself, he could feel the heat and cold, sometimes even a blood clot issue stinks. "This is a cleansing process of disease," 
Its use can be in the form of a single herb can also mix potions. "Mixing with other herbs is intended to strengthen its benefits and neutralize toxins. Also to reduce the unpleasant taste, "

Efforts to use herbs crown healing god, can not quickly produce results. The treatment needs to be done several times. Even for severe chronic diseases take a long time. Noteworthy is the dose should not exceed its use is recommended. If the proportion of excess, unwanted effects can occur.

It must be remembered, a young pregnant woman is forbidden to consume the crown of the gods. Fruit crown can act as a god or oxytosin can race sintosinon the uterine muscle work that facilitate the birth process. This can endanger young pregnancy.

It is also important, in using the crown of the god of medicine we recommended menyugesti or convince myself that this herb works, pray for our healing, and continued to visit the doctor to see how our health. (summary)

Red Fruit

Red fruit originally  grows wild in the forests of Papua. The popularity of the new red fruit up and become valuable after Drs. I Made Budi MSc managed to make red fruit as an alternative drug to cure deadly diseases, like cancer, diabetes, tumors, rheumatism, heart to HIV / AIDS. 

Red fruit Latin name is "Pandanus conoideus Lam" (Red Fruit = Home) is a typical plant-specific or endemic species that grow in New Guinea. Red fruit crops including plant pandanus family-like pandanan with pandanus trees, but plant height can reach 16m tall stems own branches as high as 5 to 8 m which strengthened the roots supported on the lower stems. Fruit cultivars oval leaves covered with fruit buds. Red fruit fruit itself is long reach 55 cm, 10-15 cm diameter, and weighs 2-3 kg. Color when mature bright maroon red.

Mangosteen benefits

As a country that has abundant biodiversity, Indonesia has a source of herbal plants endless. One of the plants that also have the efficacy of treatment is the mangosteen. Not only delicious eaten as fresh fruit, mangosteen also has a number of other capabilities. In fact almost all the plant parts that have these properties. Mangosteen is traditionally used as medicine sprue, hemorrhoids, and wounds.

Plants that have Latin name Garcinia mangostana has a hard woody stems. Branches irregular, brown, and sticky. Bark can treat dysentery, diarrhea, and mouth sores.

Two of the mangosteen fruit washed skin, then cut into pieces, before finally boiled with four glasses of water until the volume remaining in half. Mangosteen skin stew that was cold and filtered can be added with honey and taken twice a day to see the results of treatment of dysentery suffered.

"Just as new treatments for dysentery, to cure diarrhea stayed performed similar steps. However, with the volume of water is less, only three glasses of course many,"

To treat thrush, any steps that do the same as manufacturing procedures diarrhea healing potions. Only, the cooking water distillate is used to rinse his mouth and drink as much as three to six times a day.

Mangosteen roots are steep. Mangosteen also has side hairless roots which are few, but profound. Slow growth of roots, easily damaged, and disrupted by a less favorable environment so that the contact area between the roots and the media to grow narrow. Poor rooting system of the mangosteen plant nutrient absorption caused difficulties. However, the roots remain mangosteen has a distinctive properties, which can treat the non-current period.

Vasinfectum, Alternaria tenuis, Drechela oryzae and can inhibit the growth of all fungi.

Have also done research on the mangosteen xanton activity on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus metisilin resistant to antibiotics. The results showed that one active Isolate, alpha-Mangostin, which is one of the derivate xanton inhibit bacterial growth with MIC for 1,57-12,5 mcg / mL.

Anti-inflammatory research from the mangosteen fruit leather made using Mangostin of ethanol extract of 40%, has a strong inhibitory activity on histamine release and synthesis of prostaglandin E2 as a mediator of inflammation.
