Salah satu media grafis yang cukup ampuh adalah media poster, sampai saat ini poster paling banyak di pilih sebagai senjata menyampaikan informasi kepada khalayak yang dituju. Fenomena meraih kekuasaan di berbagai daerah poster dan baliho sebagai media luar ruang paling tepat dan banyak dipergunakan. Bagaimana dengan lingkungan setelah poster dan baliho menjelma sebagai medium informasi ?.

Salah satu yang belum sempurna dari setiap poster yang tersaji yang bersifat melayani publik dalam kontek komersial maupun sosial adalah poster yang dapat bersifat mempunyai pendekatan menjadi media kenangan tersimpan cukup lama. Walaupun bedatujuan dan fungsi dari setiap pesan dan informasi yang disampaikan, seyogianya poster dapat menyimpan suatu kenangan yang bersifat visual. Seperti halnya poster film, kecenderungannya masyarakat mampu berbuat menjadi “kolektor poster”, yang banyak di lihat jika kita masuk ke area cafe, maka selain lukisan, hiasan dinding lainnya poster manjadi bagian yang di lirik sebagai media penata ruang.

Jangan tanya jumlah oplag, kalau kita dapat hitung kebutuhan media ini jauh lebih banyak di produksi, tetapi kemiskinan memperhatikan bahan kertas yang dipakai terus terbuang percuma, adalah menjadi bagian yang sekiranya perlu diperhatikan juga. Bagaimana poster “khusus” dibuat sehingga dapat menyimpan kenangan ?. Menurut penulis beberapa kegiatan yang bersifat kampanye sosial dan lingkungan dengan menggunakan media poster perlu mencermati dengan beberapa pendekatan visual kearah itu. Minimal setiap poster dapat berusia lama bagi pemirsa serta dapat menyimpan pesan makna yang cukup lama juga. ( to be continue ) www.greengraphicinfo.com

Acne is usually most common in the puberty stage and is considered as an abnormal response to the normal levels of testosterone, the male hormone. The response for acne tends to diminish with the passage of time.

Acne myths

There are certain myths that are associated with acne.

1. Use of chocolates leads to pimples.

2. Make-up makes the zits go worse.

3. Eating cheese cause pimples.

4. Scrubbing the face hard would rid you of pimples.

5. Acne can be cleared by squeezing pimples.

All of the above are just myths and has nothing to do with pimples or acnes. They have been continuously talked with no scientific reasons.

There is a male hormone called as androgens that are found in both man and women that causes excess oil to build up in the body’s oil glands. Whiteheads and blackheads are caused when the oil and dead skin cells clog the glands. These may turn into red ad inflamed pimples due to the presence of bacteria. Thus hormone disorder is the primary cause of concern of acne and this is the reason why this is so often associated with the puberty. And to avoid them, one must take necessary amount of proper nutrition and vitamins and not be solely and largely dependent upon skin cares.

Acne could also be caused by some other factors also such as wrongly selected make-up and stress. If someone get acne and this is the reason for his stress, he must avoid stress as that would further build up the pimple.

Effective Acne Treatment & Acne Scar Treatment
The following steps and tips might be beneficial to anyone with acne problems

Face must be washed regularly to avoid the secretion of excess oil and to remove make-up and other impurities.
Face must not be touched with fingers and face must also not be leaned on objects that are prone to collect sebum and skin residue such as phone receiver.
People who wear spectacles must clean them frequently to keep the pores around your eyes and nose clean of oil.
Pillowcases, blankets and sheets must be clean often so that oil doe not build on them at sleeping hours.
Tight clothes must be avoided as they would result in non-passage of air and that may also lead to irritation. Also, avoid caps, headbands and scarves, as they tend to capture oil.
Let your hair be clean and properly combed so that they do not fall on your face to avoid oil.
And, above all, always remember that acne is caused by hormone disorders and the best way to avoid it is to have a properly, balanced and nutritive-rich diet which would erode any chances of acne.

There are numerous vitamins that are known to treat and nourish the skin and don’t use unhealthy and unnatural health care products as that would result in acne scars that take a long time to be completely wiped off. Acne medication is very important for the purpose of healing of acnes and acne scars.

Excellent nutrition includes pure water, controlled breath, abundant light, loving and respectful relationships, beauty and harmony in daily life, joyous thoughts and vital foodstuffs.

Wild foods and organically grown produce, grains and herbs are the best source of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed during pregnancy.

HERBAL TONICS DURING PREGNANCY:

These herbs are empirically safe and notably effective. Tonic herbs improve general health by balancing and sustaining energy flow and focus in the body.

Tonics allay annoyances and prevent major problems. They can boost the supply of vital minerals and vitamins, increase energy and improve uterine tone. The tonics indicated for pregnancy need to be used regularly; a tonic is to the cells much as exercise is to the muscles: not much use when done erratically. Of course even occasional use of tonics during pregnancy will be of benefit, since they do contain nourishing factors. Better benefit will come from using them 5 times a week or more.

Women in many cultures have used the following herbs for centuries to have a healthier pregnancy.

RED RASPBERRY LEAVES

Brewed as a tea or as an infusion, raspberry is the best known, most widely used, and safest of all uterine and pregnancy tonic herbs. It contains fragrine, an alkaloid that gives tone to the muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus itself.

The benefits of drinking a raspberry leaf brew before and throughout pregnancy include:

Increasing fertility in both men and women. Raspberry leaf is an excellent fertility herb when combined with Red Clover.
Preventing miscarriage and hemorrhage.
Easing of morning sickness.
Reducing pain during labor and after birth. By toning the muscles used during labor and delivery, Raspberry leaf eliminates many of the reasons for a painful delivery and prolonged recovery.
Assisting in the production of plentiful breast milk. The high mineral content of Raspberry leaf assists in milk production, but its astringency may counter that for some women.

NETTLE LEAVES

Some pregnant women alternate weeks of nettle and raspberry brews; others drink raspberry until the last month and then switch to nettles to insure large amounts of vitamin K in the blood before birth.

The benefits of drinking nettle infusion before and throughout pregnancy include:

Aiding the kidneys. Nettle infusions were instrumental in rebuilding the kidneys. Since the kidneys must cleanse 150 percent of the normal blood supply for most of the pregnancy, nettle’s ability to nourish and strengthen them is of major importance. Any accumulation of minerals in the kidneys, such as gravel or stones, is gently loosened, dissolved and eliminated by the consistent use of nettle infusions.
Nourishing mother and fetus.
Easing leg cramps and other spasms.
Diminishing pain during and after birth. The high calcium content, which is readily assimilated, helps diminish muscle pains in the uterus, in the legs and elsewhere.
Preventing hemorrhage after birth. Nettle is a superb source of vitamin K, and increases available hemoglobin, both of which decrease the likelihood of postpartum hemorrhage. Fresh Nettle Juice, in teaspoon doses, slows postpartum bleeding.
Reducing hemorrhoids. Nettle’s mild astringency and general nourishing action tightens and strengthens blood vessels, helps maintain arterial elasticity and improves venous resilience.

CHASTE TREE

Another important herbal ally for women over forty who desire a child is chaste tree. It is a strengthening tonic for the pituitary gland, the master control gland for the endocrine system. Daily use of the tincture of the berries (1 dropperful/1 ml 2-3 times daily) had been shown to increase progesterone–the hormone of pregnancy–and luteinizing hormone–that promotes conception. Because it can lower prolactin levels, chaste tree is best discontinues during the last trimester of pregnancy.
