The herbs that usually used are coming from leaves, flowers, fruit, seed, or even roots. To collect it there are something that you should know as below:

1. Leaves collected during flowering and before fruit becomes ripe.
2. Flowers were collected before or immediately after bloom.
3. Fruit picked in a ripe state.
4. Seeds were collected from yan g ripe fruit perfectly.
5. Roots, rhizomes , tubers , and bulbs was collected during the process of plant stops.

Ingredients that have been collected immediately washed, preferably with running water. Once clean, can be utilized when needed use the freshest ingredients. However, it can also be dried to be stored and used when needed at any time.

Drying aims to reduce water content and preventing decay by fungi or bacteria. Thus, the material can be kept much longer in a jar or a sealed container. Dry material is also easily crushed if you want to create powder.

Boiling is generally carried out in soil pots, ceramic pots, or a panic email. Ceramic pots can be purchased in traditional Chinese medicine stores. Panic of iron, aluminum or brass should not be used for boiling. It is reminded that these materials can cause sediments, low concentrations of drug solution, the formation of toxic or side effects due to chemical reaction with the ingredients.

Use clean water to boil. Fresh water should be used, unless otherwise specified. How to boil the ingredients as follows. Materials incorporated into the potting soil. Add water until the material completely submerged and the water level about 30 mm above it. Boiling begins when the water had seeped into the medicinal ingredients.

Do boiling with fire according to manufacture instructions. If the flame is not specified, it is usually done by boiling over high heat until the water is boiling. Furthermore, the fire reduced the cooking water to prevent overflow or dry up too quickly. However, sometimes a big fire and a small flame is used alone when boiling danger of drugs. For example, drugs are efficacious tonic generally boiled over a low heat so efficacious substance can be completely removed in the cooking water.

Similarly, medicinal plants that contain toxins that need to be boiled with a small fire in a long time, about 3-5 hours to reduce toxicity. Flame is mostly used for medicinal herbs which are intended to be a fast boiling and evaporation of excess of substances that are active components of plants can be prevented.

The malaria parasite’s life cycle consists of exogenous sexual phase (sporogoni) in Anophelini mosquitoes and asexual phase (skizogoni) in vertebrate hosts including humans. In Anophelini mosquitoes, Plasmodium will happen ookinet formation of micro-and makrogametosit in the midgut and then will develop into sporozoites that ended in the mosquito salivary glands Anophelini.

Sea cucumber (Cucumaria echinata) is one of the class Holothuroidea Invertebrate sea. These animals contain many beneficial substances, such as: collagen, mineral, mucopolysaccharide, vitamins, protein lectin, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), dekosaheksaenoat acid (DHA) and amino acids. Lectins are proteins that bind specifically carbohydrates. Lectin CEL-III (Cucumaria echinata lectin-III) is one type lectin specific form of galactose / N-acetylgalactosamine (Gal / GalNac) isolated from Cucumaria echinata body fluid.

CEL-III has hemolytic activity and cytotoxicity against malaria parasites by forming ion-permeable through the pores in the membrane of target cells (erythrocytes) by the binding of carbohydrate chains by N-terminal part of CEL-III. CEL-III also acts as a poison against the ookinet and induce cells to undergo apoptosis. So that CEL-III can inhibit the life cycle of the parasite in the mosquito Anophelini.

This is done by way of establishment of transgenic mosquitoes that combines Anophelini sea cucumber lectin gene with part of a mosquito gene so that the mosquito would release lectin into its gut during feeding. CEL-III protein on the malaria vectors is expected to be the best solution in the treatment of malaria interventions.

Tuina (Tui Na) methods include the use of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, acupressure techniques to directly affect the flow of Qi , and manipulation techniques to realign the musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships (bone-setting). External herbal poultices, compresses, liniments, and salves are also used to enhance the other therapeutic methods.
Tuina (Tui Na) has a variety of different systems that emphasize particular aspects of these therapeutic principles. The main schools in China include the rolling method school which emphasizes soft tissue techniques and specializes in joint injuries and muscle sprains, the one finger pushing method school which emphasizes techniques for acupressure and the treatment of internal diseases, and Nei Gung method school which emphasizes the use of Nei Gong Qi energy generation exercises and specific massage methods for revitalizing depleted energy systems, and the bone setting method school which emphasizes manipulation methods to realign the musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships and specializes in joint injuries and nerve pain.

In a typical session, the client, wearing loose clothing and no shoes, lies on a table or floor mat. The practitioner examines the specific problems of the client and begins to apply a specific treatment protocol. The major focus of application is upon specific pain sites, acupressure points, energy meridians, and muscles and joints. Advanced Tuina (Tui Na) practitioners may also use Chinese herbs to facilitate quicker healing. Sessions last from 30 minutes to 1 hour. Depending on the specific problems of the client, they may return for additional treatments. The client usually feels relaxed but energized by the treatment.

Tuina (Tui Na) is now being popularized in this country as a powerful therapeutic extension of traditional western massage methods. Tuina’s (Tui Na) simplicity and focus on specific problems, rather than a more generalized treatment, make it both an excellent alternative and/or extension of the Swedish-style massage. By utilizing treatments of shorter duration, it can be used in a variety of settings, including home, office, clinic or hospital. It is well suited for both the professional massage therapist or the active, health conscious individual.

Tuina (Tui Na) practitioners can be found by calling Acupuncture Colleges of the American Oriental Bodywork Therapy Association.
Tuina (Tui Na) dates back to the Shang Dynasty of China, 1700 B.C.E. Oracle bones show that tuina (tui na) massage was used to treat children’s diseases and digestive complaints in adults. By 600 C.E. Tuina (tui na) was included in the Imperial Medical College as a separate department. Tuina (tui na) flourished throughout China until the Qing Dynasty where it was suppressed along with other Chinese cultural arts. Following the Communist revolution, Tuina (tui na) was restored along with other traditional medical arts and was included in the creation of the current system of Traditional Chinese Medicine Colleges.

Currently, Tuina (tui na) is taught as a separate but equal field of study in the major traditional Chinese medical colleges. Tuina (tui na) doctors receive the same demanding training as acupuncturists and herbalists and enjoy the same level of professional respect.
