MAGDALEEN SE BLOMMEHOEKIE
TUINDAGGA: -Klipdagga – Leonotis ocymifolia
Dit is ‘n een/tweejarige struikie wat tot ongeveer 1.5m hoog groei. Dit groei horisontaal, maar kan meerstammig groei as dooie blomme uitgeknip word. Die oranje blomme groei in ry ronde bolle en is ongeveer 70mm in deursnee. Dit hou van volson en groei wild in grasveld, rotsriwwe en woudrande. Die saad versprei maklik.
Wilde Dagga – Leonotis Leonurus
Die wilde dagga, wat van die Salie familie is, is ‘n meerjarige struik wat tot 2m hoog en 1 – 2m wyd groei. Die blare is dofgroen en lansetvormig.
Die oranje of wit blomme groei in klompies aan die bo-kant van die take, vanaf herfs tot lente.
Die struik is taai en bestand teen ryp en droogte. Dit groei van die Wes Kaap tot in Natal. Plant dit in goeie grond, in volson met genoeg water tot dit gevestig is. Dit groei maklik van steggies. Snoei die struik goed in die lente, na die blomtyd. As die blomknoppe gereeld uitgeknip word, sal dit aanhou blom.
Die blomme van beide klip- en wilde dagga produseer baie nectar wat die bye en veral die suikerbekkies lok.
Leonotis beteken leeu se oor – dit dui op die vorm en tekstuur Die Tuindagga is geensins verwant aan die mak dagga (Cannabis sativa) nie. Die blare van die tuindagga lyk baie soos die van sommige mak dagga – vandaar die naam.
Health
Studies show these benefits from the major components of Epsom Salt may:
Magnesium:
Ease stress and improves sleep and concentration
Help muscles and nerves function properly
Regulate activity of 325+ enzymes
Help prevent artery hardening and blood clots
Make insulin more effective
Reduce inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps
Improve oxygen use
Sulfates:
Flush toxins
Improve absorption of nutrients
Help form joint proteins, brain tissue and mucin proteins
Help prevent or ease migraine headaches
Magnesium is the second-most abundant element in human cells and the fourth-most important positively charged ion in the body, so it's little wonder this low-profile mineral is so vital to good health and well being. Magnesium, a major component of Epsom Salt, also helps to regulate the activity of more than 325 enzymes and performs a vital role in orchestrating many bodily functions, from muscle control and electrical impulses to energy production and the elimination of harmful toxins. The National Academy of Sciences, however, reports that most Americans are magnesium deficient, helping to account for our society's high rate of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis and joint pain, digestive maladies and stress-related illnesses, chronic fatigue and a host of other ailments. The Academy estimates the average American male gets just 80% of the magnesium required for good health, while females get only 70% of their recommended levels. Nutritionists say Americans' magnesium levels have dropped more than 50% in the past century.
Better health through soaking
Magnesium can be ingested as a nutritional supplement, but studies show that a wide variety of factors - the presence of specific foods or drugs, certain medical conditions, even the individual chemistry of a person's stomach acid - can interfere with their effectiveness. But all of the subjects in a recent study experienced increased magnesium levels from soaking in a bath enriched with magnesium sulfate crystals, commonly known as Epsom Salt.
Researchers and physicians report that raising your magnesium levels may:
Improve heart and circulatory health, reducing irregular heartbeats, preventing hardening of the arteries, reducing blood clots and lowering blood pressure.
Improve the body's ability to use insulin, reducing the incidence or severity of diabetes.
Flush toxins and heavy metals from the cells, easing muscle pain and helping the body to eliminate harmful substances.
Improve nerve function by regulating electrolytes. Also, calcium is the main conductor for electrical current in the body, and magnesium is necessary to maintain proper calcium levels in the blood.
Relieve stress. Excess adrenaline and stress are believed to drain magnesium, a natural stress reliever, from the body. Magnesium is necessary for the body to bind adequate amounts of serotonin, a mood-elevating chemical within the brain that creates a feeling of well-being and relaxation.
While increasing your magnesium levels, Epsom Salt also delivers sulfates, which are extremely difficult to get through food but which readily absorb through the skin. Sulfates serve a wide variety of functions in the body, playing a vital role in the formation of brain tissue, joint proteins and the mucin proteins that line the walls of the digestive tract. Sulfates also stimulate the pancreas to generate digestive enzymes and are believed to help detoxify the body's residue of medicines and environmental contaminants.
Studies show that magnesium and sulfur, two components of Epsom Salt may:
Help seeds germinate
Make plants grow bushier
Produce more flowers
Increase chlorophyll production
Improve phosphorus and nitrogen uptake

Ek het die Epson salts / Engelse sout artikel van die web af gekry onder die Naam http://www.epsomsaltcouncil.org/ gaan kyk gerus na die webblad. Nogal fantasties wat engelse sout alles vir jou kan beteken.
En op die gesonde noot, sluit ons af met die maand se nuusbrief en sien uit daarna om sommer baie lekker stories, staaltjies en fotos van jul te ontvang vir die volgende uitgawe.

Ps. Onthou die paparazzi is daarbuite en die volgende keer as jy nonsens aanvang, verskyn die “evidence” dalk net in die nuusbrief.
