...usually used in many households in order to control these pests. But the high price and health problem from branded chemical insecticides gives dilemma to Filipino household. Respiratory diseases can also result from continuous use of these insecticides especially since chemical substance from the product are inhaled by a person. This study seeks the possibility of using the extracts of ginger and dalandan to repel and eliminate insects, particularly, houseflies and cockroaches. The Dalandan and Ginger extracts as an insecticidal spray can be possible by the botanical and chemical properties that can be found within the fruit and crop. Dalandan have a chemical property which is known as d-limonene that has the capacity to melt the protective wax coating of insects, affecting their respiratory system. Ginger contains gingerols and shogoals that give ginger its hot and warming qualities, responsible for their ability to suffocate the insects.

...ANTIBACTERIAL EFFECT OF Zingiber officinale (GINGER) AND Allium sativum (GARLIC) AQUEOUS EXTRACT ON SOME SELECTED BACTERIA OF VETERINARY IMPORTANCE Abstract Key words Introduction The ability of a substance to inhibit or kill bacteria is known as antibacterial activity. Such substances include chemotherapeutic agents which are products of roots, bark, stems and leaves of plants. In some cases, these products serve as cheap and effective alternative to orthodox drugs. A recent survey in the United State of America revealed an expected 20% annual growth in herbal medicine in the next 5 years (Saxena, 2004) with an estimated 80% of the world population living in the developing countries still relying on plants for health care. Due to the large dependence on traditional health care practices, World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the implicit role of herbal medicine in the Alma Mata declaration of Health for All by the year 2000AD in 1978. Zingiber officinale, or common ginger which is one of the frequently used medicinal plants is native to South-East Asia. The plant has slender reed-like stems with dark glossy green leaves arising from tuberous rhizomes. Ginger has been used for centuries as flavouring and as a treatment for all sorts of ailments from motion sickness to athletes foot (Richard et al., 2005). Ginger compounds are active against a form of diarrhoea which is the leading cause of infant death in developing countries. Zinerone is likely to be the active...

...Ginger: Avert nausea Ginger can prevent stomach upset from many sources, including pregnancy, motion sickness, and chemotherapy. "This is one of Mom's remedies that really works," says Suzanna M. Zick, ND, MPH, a research investigator at the University of Michigan. A powerful antioxidant, ginger works by blocking the effects of serotonin, a chemical produced by both the brain and stomach when you're nauseated, and by stopping the production of free radicals, another cause of upset in your stomach. In one study of cruise ship passengers traveling on rough seas, 500 mg of ginger every 4 hours was as effective as Dramamine, the commonly used OTC motion-sickness medication. In another study, where subjects took 940 mg, it was even more effective than the drug. MORE: The Smoothie Cure For Gas And Bloating It might also: Decrease your blood pressure, arthritis pain, and cancer risk. Ginger helps regulate blood flow, which may lower blood pressure, says Zick, and its anti-inflammatory properties might help ease arthritis. Ginger extract had a significant effect on reducing pain in all 124 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, in a study conducted at the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of Miami. Those same anti-inflammatory powers help powdered ginger kill ovarian cancer cells as well as—or better than—traditional chemotherapy, at least in the test tube, found a study by the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center.

...Galangal, a herb like ginger and turmeric belongs to the rhizome family. It is also known as 'Siamese ginger' and is commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine, especially Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. The raw galangal has a citrus flavor with an earthy aroma. The flavor often resembles to cedar. Though it belongs to the ginger family, but the galangal doesn’t have a peppery heat. So, it mostly used in the cuisine like soup and rendang.

In my head “how come a lot of galangal cooked with chicken can be eaten deliciously”. So, I decide to choose this topic, Galangal. I really want to know more about galangal; the history, uses and many more. Galangal is now grown in most Southeast-Asian countries, but was first harvested for use in cooking and medicine in China and Java. But by the Middle Ages, galangal had traveled extensively, and was already in common use throughout Europe. Referred to as "the spice of life" by St. Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), galangal was, in fact, one of her favorite remedies. This famous herbalist used galangal to treat everything from deafness and heart disease to indigestion. During the 13th-14th...

...Introduction: The Story of an hour is a short story written by Kate Chopin whose feminist ideas rocked the world in the early in the mid 1800’s where women’s lib movements were in their infancy. The lack of control over their lives make female emancipation a distant dream and it was due to the death of a loved one that much cherished independence of self could be attained. Kate Chopin lived life on her own terms and in her works allowed her support of women’s independence and sexual freedom to shine through which was shocking to the society still warped in long skirts and layers of petticoats. She focused her attention on love, sex, marriage, women, and independence and raged against the unjust world which viewed women as a lawful property. Her assertion that self matters above all love comes through brilliantly and the protagonists cry for freedom triumphs over her love for her husband.(Chopin) Plot overview: The story describes the one hour in the protagonists life where in she experiences heart wrenching grief, ecstasy of freedom and death. Louise Mallard is a typical housewife who is beset with the familiar problems awaiting the arrival of her husband. Her sister, Josephine at the beginning of the story breaks the story of her husband’s fatal accident gently and Louise cries in her arms with wild abandonment. The reader is introduced to the mysterious heart trouble which Mrs Mallard suffers from and this ailment keeps its date with Mallard’s destiny till the very end. After...
