Have you ever tried to dip your feet into the pool and let fish nibble off death skins from your toes? Spa fish treatments are quite popular in Japan, Korea, and have spread to China, Singapore, and other countries.
What’s the feeling of being ‘bitten’ by spa fish? Some people will giggle and even cry out when experiencing it for the first time; others simply enjoy the massaging sensation as schools of fish gather around their feet or nibble off pesky death skins from the feet.
What are spa fish then? These tiny toothless fish are originally from Turkey; grow in fast-flowing water and can withstand temperatures above 40 degree Celsius; some can grow to the size of about 14cm. Garra Rufa is the scientific name but they are also known as doctor fish because of beliefs that they can help people with Psoriasis, a disease that causes red and scaly patches on the skin.
Actually, spa fish have been included in hot spring spas in Turkey for many years, where people use them to treat skin problems. It is not until recently that the fish have been introduced to Singapore. Now, if you go to Singapore Flyer or Sentosa Underwater World, you can find spa fish shops that have been nicely set up. Even some shops at Chinatown and fish farms have started this treatment as the demand is growing. The rate for a half-hour session ranges from SGD10 to 38 depending on the spa package. It is interesting to note that not all the spa fish are from Turkey; recently, countries such as China, India, and Africa have started to export other species of spa fish that can perform the same function.
Fish hobbyists have also started to keep spa fish at home, and some are thinking of breeding them since the cost of the fish is quite high, ranging from to each. Image having a tub with hundreds of fish in your living room where you can soak your feet in and enjoy a cup of nicely brewed coffee at the same time? We will talk about how to set up a spa fish tank at home another time.

Posted: October 16th, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Korea Skin Care Articles | Tags: Common, Common Hippocampus, Hippocampus, Hippocampus Seahorse, Seahorse | Comments Off
Seahorses are cataloged in the genus Hippocampus. The members of this genus belong to the family Syngnathidae. This family contains over 50 individual species including all seahorses and their close relatives the pipefish. Seahorses are found in shallow waters of tropical and temperate zones around the world.
The name Hippocampus is first recorded in Greek poetry. Hippos means horse and campus translates to sea monster. Ancient Greeks and Romans believed seahorses were a gift from the sea god Poseidon/Neptune. Despite their fragility, seahorses were perceived to be a symbol of strength and power. There are three species of seahorse found in the Mediterranean Sea. These are the Hippocampus hippocampus or long snout, the Hippocampus brevirostris or short snout, and the Hippocampus fuscus which emigrated from its native habitat in the Red Sea. Many Europeans thought these equine-like creatures bore the souls of recently departed sailors, providing them safe passage to the underworld and protecting over them until their souls meant their destiny. Seahorse fossils have been discovered dating as far back as 13 million years. Here we will focus both the seahorse collectively and one specific species Hippocampus kuda also known as the common seahorse.
The common seahorse is indigenous to the Indo-Pacific. Twenty-three countries have confirmed the presence of H. Kuda ranging as far south as Australia to as far north as China.
Seahorses have been procured by Chinese herbologists for their purported healing qualities for centuries. Native populations throughout Indonesia and the Central Philippines also use seahorses as a component in herbalistic medicines. It is estimated that up to 20 millions seahorses a year are harvested to support this thriving industry. Over fishing has driven seahorse populations to the verge of becoming endangered species. The common seahorse is currently listed as a vulnerable species by CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, also known as the Washington Convention). CITES has regulated the import and export of seahorses in this region of the world since 2004. Unfortunately Indonesia, Japan and South Korea do not recognize the trade rules put in place by the Washington Convention.
Seahorses are a boney fish. They are devoid of scales. They have a thin layer of skin stretched over a series of bony plates arranged in rings. Each individual species has a specific number of these rings. Seahorses have a cornet on their heeds. These cornets are distinctive to each seahorse. No two are identical much like a human fingerprint.
These creatures swim vertically, a trait specific to seahorses. They are poor swimmers who move very slowly in the water. Propulsion is achieved by the rapid flutter of the dorsal fin on their backs. They maneuver with the use of their pectoral fins located behind their eyes. They do not possess a caudal (tail) fin. In its place there is a prehensile tail which they warp around stationary objects to anchor themselves.
In an aquarium seahorses must be provided with objects to anchor themselves to. Coral and small branches will suffice nicely. These are timid creatures that should never be housed with even moderately aggressive species. They are easily stressed. Prolonged periods of stress will lower the efficiency of their immune system making them more susceptible to disease. Gobies and other docile mannered fish will make suitable tank mates. Seahorses are primarily bottom dwellers. They will peacefully coexist with ornamental crustaceans and other bottom feeders. This makes them the perfect compliment to a marine reef aquarium.
Amateur aquarist should not attempt to raise seahorses. You will only accomplish the unnecessary death of a rapidly vanishing species. Seahorses are only recommended for the more experienced saltwater aficionado.
All seahorses are carnivorous. They use their snouts to suck in zooplankton as a source of nutrition. Upon initial introduction to a home aquarium sea horses may only eat live food offerings. Rotifers, mysis and brine shrimp should help persuade them to start feeding. With patience they can be weaned off of live food. These are slow feeders and must not be made to compete for their food.
In recent decades the captive breeding of seahorses has become increasingly widespread. The common seahorse is among these commercially raised specimens. Farm raised seahorses may already be acclimated to non-living food offerings. These are commonly more expensive than wild caught seahorses. However you have a specimen that will not have to endure the shock and trauma of being yanked out of its natural habitat and placed in the confines of an aquarium. Farm raised marine species are more disease resistant and have a much higher survivability rate. And you will not be a participant in the further depletion of an already threatened species.
Tips on Hippocampus Kuda Or Common Seahorse Care
If you find the idea of raising seahorses intriguing, then you should check out the hottest new trend in the saltwater aquarium industry, Jellyfish Fish Tank Aquariums. Keeping Moon Jellyfish & Pet Jellies is the hottest new trend among saltwater aquarists.

There are many herbal remedies for menopause, however just because they are herbs does not mean that they are harmless and have no side effects or interactions with pharmaceutical drugs. Any herbs you plan on taking should be discussed with a health care provider.
Many woman say that they are helped by some natural herbs such as herbs that increase the level of phytoestrogens in the body which have the same effect as HRT. Here are a few herbal remedies for menopause:
1. St John’s Wort may be helpful in the short-term (less than two years) for mild depression at doses of less than 1.2 milligrams per day. However, it can interfere with prescribed medication and can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
2. Soy and Isoflavones contain plant estrogens found in soybeans and other beans. It is thought that by taking approximately 50 grams of soy protein a day, it may be helpful in the short-term of less than two years of relieving night sweats and hot flashes. Long term benefits may include positive effects on cholesterol and bone health.
3. In the short-term of six months or less Black Cohosh has been thought to treat night sweats and hot flashes. Studies have shown that Black Cohosh is extremely safe, however no long-term studies have yet been done.
4. Another one of the herbal remedies for menopause is Chasteberry which is also known as Indian Spice, Tree Wild Pepper and Monk’s Pepper. A study on women found that they had an improvement on feelings of anger and mood. It was also shown to alleviate headaches. It is thought that this herb works by inhibiting the release of prolactin.
5. Evening Primrose is a herb that is rich is GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) which is thought to be an essential fatty acid for humans. This herb is taken for menopausal symptoms, as well as for breast pain and bladder symptoms.
6. Ginseng, which includes types such as Korean, Siberian and American, are known to boost immunity and relieve stress. A study reported that menopausal women taking these ginseng herbal remedies for menopause had an improved overall sense of wellbeing.
Many women report positive results with taking herbal remedies for menopause, however, before taking any herbal products you should inform your health provider of any other medications you are taking because they can have harmful interactions with prescribed and over the counter medications.

Posted: October 14th, 2011 | Author: admin | Filed under: Korea Skin Care Articles | Tags: Chinese, Chinese Prolific, Jujube, Jujube Prolific, Prolific | Comments Off
The Chinese Jujube Tree (Chinese Date), Ziziphus zizyphus. The Chinese Jujube was introduced formally into the U.S. in 1908 by the USDA that imported exceptional Chinese cultivars from China, Japan, Korea and Indochina. About 50 of these trees were established at the University of GA Experimental Station under the supervision of the Mr. Otis J. Woodard at Tifton, GA and other plantings were made in LA and CA. The planting of the rare Chinese Jujube trees at Tifton, GA caused much local excitement and many Tiftonites tried unsuccessfully to root the branches, and others tried planting the seeds of the Chinese jujube, but none of the resulting seedlings produced jujube fruit as fine as the original trees established by the USDA. Mr. Otis J. Woodard, the appointed horticulturist, who grafted some of the limbs from the USDA imported Chinese jujube onto wild thorny seedling rootstocks and distributed some of the grafted Chinese jujube trees to local friends, and other researchers at various agricultural stations throughout the U.S. The jujube Tifton orchard was totally demolished in the mid-last century to make room for a research orchard pecan tree research plot. Many unique Chinese jujube cultivars were lost in the destruction of the jujube Tifton, GA orchard, but some have survived in the yards of Tiftonites, and hopefully other jujube trees are still growing at scattered locations in the U.S.
The jujube tree has been grown in practically every area of the U.S., where the trees can survive cold temperatures as low as -25 F. The jujube tree produces large crops of fruit every year, and the jujube tree has no known insect or disease problems. The records of Chinese archaeologists record that the Chinese jujube trees have been cultivated in China for 4000 years. However, other Internet commentators claim the jujube in Ancient Israel, Syria and Jordan is firmly discussed in several scriptural verses from the Holy Bible, including the Book of Judges. The firm presence of jujube in these ancient civilizations has been established, but the record is not clear about the thorny plant described in the Book of Judges, since accurate plant taxonomy was not existent until the botanist, Linnaeus, began to establish rules for plant nomenclature. The jujube fruit that evolved in the ancient Mideast societies does not have the fruit size or the quality that the Chinese developed in their selection and possible hybridization. It is probable that the jujube that grows in the Mideast today grew from seeds brought by ancient caravan traders from China and were planted to grow and improve by selection in Syria, Jordan and Israel.
The Chinese jujube tree can survive cold temperatures as low as -25 F, by the tree also thrives in the sultry heat of the deep South. The jujube tree does not require much winter chilling to initiate a heavy crop of fruit, and the late flowering of the tree allows the bloom leading to a fruit production immunity to late frosts in Northern States.
The zigzag pattern of the branch growth is unusual and looks bizarre in the winter on leafless branches, and the gnarled appearance of the trunk and branches makes this tree a choice landscape tree for the gardener who is looking for something different, for something as an ornamental specimen of accent tree. The shiny leaves of the jujube tree are green, waxy and beautiful, reflecting light like small mirrors. The tree of the Chinese jujube grows a massive root system and care must be taken when digging under grafted jujube trees not to cut roots radiating from the jujube tree, or else a thorny insipid seedling of low fruit value will arise from the cut root just like in the case of crape myrtle tree.
The fruit of the Chinese jujube can be round or elongated like a kumquat citrus plant. The size of the grafted jujube fruit varies greatly, from the size of a Nagami kumquat to a golf ball. As the jujube fruit begins to ripen in the months of July and August, the the color can change from green to burgundy to brown and that coloring period is the prime time to eat the jujube fruit. The jujube fruit ripens over a long period of time, and if left on the tree, the fruit will develop a honey sweetness that is delicious and will last indefinitely when preserved air tight. When eaten fresh from the tree, the jujube is crunchy, if collected before wrinkling begins, and the flavor is slightly tart with a flavor and aroma of the apple. The jujube fruit contains two black seed that can be discarded. The Chinese jujube growers harvest much of the crop for drying, and the dried jujube can be stored successfully for months to reap the year round health benefits that have been extolled by the Chinese for centuries.
The chartruese flowers of the jujube are small and inconspicuous and pleasantly fragrant in the spring. The jujube tree should be purchased as a mailorder dormant tree during fall and winter, because it does not grow well as a containerized tree. The Chinese jujube tree is easy to buy from internet nurseries and survives well in most any climate and in dry soils or wet; and large jujube trees often bear fruit the first year. Usually the jujube does not require cross pollination, but it’s a good idea to plant two different cultivars in Southern locations where spring rains can abort jujube fruit formation. The jujube tree, once established, grows into the shape of a Japanese flowering weeping cherry tree. An interested gardener should always buy a grafted Chinese jujube cultivar, because the seedling jujube trees produce small marble-sized fruit with large seed and the unpredictable taste of the small pulp.
The Chinese have established over the centuries great herbal remedies for all parts of the jujube tree with more use for the dried fruit, which is said to improve liver problems and to dehydrate the body and sooth the vital organs of the body. The Chinese believe the jujube can cure coughs and the sore throat, and even eliminate influenza symptoms or solve breathing problems that result from the lungs. The continuous usage of jujube, according to the Chinese, will improve skin color and cure skin infections. Lastly, the Chinese believe that the jujube fruit will kill internal body and stomach parasites and worms. Very few plants or trees are revered and loved by the Chinese as the jujube tree for the naturalistic medical remedies that result from treatment with fruit and plant extracts from the Chinese jujube.

Let’s start by explaining what makes green tea green. Green tea leaves have not been subjected to heat or steam, unlike black or oolong teas which must be heated when processed. This means that the antioxidants have not oxidized giving it far more health benefits. The majority of the benefits associated with green tea seem to come from the powerful antioxidants, called catechins, which scavenge your cells for free radicals. Free radicals are known to damage DNA and contribute to such illnesses as cancer, blocked arteries and blood clots.
So it’s easy to see why everyone is interested in something that helps these conditions. We have been talking about these wonderful benefits for many years now and there has been over a decade of research to draw from. Green tea has a lot of use in a healthy, balanced diet.
Green tea originates from China and is associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan and South Korea to the Middle East. More recently it has become widespread in the Western world which black tea was traditionally the tea of choice. Many varieties of the green have been created in these countries where it is grown.
According to a survey released by the United States Department of Agriculture in 2007, the mean content of flavonoids in a cup of green tea is higher than that in the same volume of other food and drink items that are traditionally considered of health contributing nature, such as fresh fruits, vegetable juices or wine. Flavonoids are a group of phytochemicals in most plant products that are responsible for such health effects as anti-oxidative and anticarcinogenic functions. The varieties can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, processing and harvesting time.
However, there are other ways to get the benefits from Green Tea without drinking it. Since your skin is your body’s largest organ, it naturally absorbs nutrients. And what better way to enhance the function of absorption than to bathe with it? Green Tea is a natural antiseptic which shields our skin from sources of skin cancer, aging and inflammation by reducing free radicals. It provides your skin with elasticity and gives it a more youthful appearance and even contains vitamins A and B2 to combat acne.
So many of the same reasons you drink your tea green can be applied to using it on your skin. If you are one of those people who do not like the taste of green tea, you may want to try it in your next bar of soap and see if you like it better being absorbed through the skin than over the taste buds!
Try it in your next bath and see for yourself!

This festival celebrates the Virgin Mary and young girls who are dressed in white cover the statues of the Virgin with flowers. The whole of the Philippines celebrates Flores de Mayo in honor of the Virgin Mary.
The Kadayawan festival of Davao is usually held on the third week of August. This is mainly a harvest celebration where people dance in merriment for a bountiful harvest of orchids, fruits and flowers. The parade of floats is the main event in the festival.
High in the Cordillera mountain ranges, another flower festival is also held during the start of February. It is a month long celebration for the blossoming of flowers and this festival is aptly named as Panagbenga, an Ilocano term.
Everywhere in the Philippines, the beauty of flowers is highly appreciated – and it’s no wonder why there are so many flower festivals in the country. In a place where hospitality reigns supreme, the atmosphere is of beauty and warmth. Here, sending someone flowers means a lot of things, and it will surely be gratefully received. But before you contact a florist to send flowers to your loved ones in the Philippines, take some time to know about the different favorites of Filipinos. Here are some of them:
1. Ylang Ylang got its name from the Tagalog term for “rare”. It is famous for its fragrant scent which remains unmatched up to this time. Its oils are now used for aromatherapy and are believed to relieve high blood pressure and can normalize sebum secretion for those who have skin problems. The ylang ylang tree is a native of the Philippines and is known to grow in slightly acidic soil. Its flowers are yellow green in color and are shaped like a star fish.
2. Sampaguita is a native of tropical Asia and is the Philippines’ native flower. It’s very petite and is usually made into garlands which are used to welcome dignitaries and honorary symbols. These garlands are sometimes sold in the streets of Manila to adorn vehicles. The flower also has medicinal value and is used as lactifuge, sedative, anaesthetic, and vulnerary.
3. Waling Waling is a rare orchid found in the island of Mindanao, particularly in the foothills of Mount Apo, the tallest mountain in the country. It blossoms seasonally for a two week period, most common during the months of July to December. It is regarded as the “Queen of Philippine Orchids” and is considered as the best orchid variety because of it stunning colors. Because of its captivating traits, it almost became extinct, but was prevented thanks to tissue culture.
4. Dama de Noche is famous for its unusual biorhythm which has become a subject for different myths and legends in the country. Its flowers bloom at night and emit a sweet scent. Unknown to many, Dama de Noche is a native of tropical America.
