Tops Lookout in Busay Cebu City — *benches on the edge*

Tops Lookout better known as Tops sits in a mountainous village in Busay and is about ten kilometers from downtown Cebu. It offers a panoramic view of Cebu City and its surrounding areas. It is a known hangout place at night, but in my case, I visited it in the daytime. Upon visiting it in the morning, I realized it is an “any time of the day” spot. Some may find this lookout more charming at night since the restaurants and bars on it are open. However, it has features you can best marvel at during the day. Here are some of the things you can do while hanging out at Tops Lookout in the daytime.

1. Marvel at the stone architecture and circular entrances

Topps resembles a modern-day viewing deck of a fortress located on the mountain. It is concrete with interesting stone architecture. It has several circular arches that serve as the entrances making it look like a tunnel. There are coves with tables and chairs within and some indoor spaces that are used by food stalls and souvenir shops. Its plateau is designed with hexagonal rough cemented tiles and ornamented with tropical flowers and grass. Also, benches are framing the outer edges of the open area.

Expounding The Effects Of Rose Oil On Happiness and Tranquility

Essential oils are natural products that are known to have good effects. Each oil has different components and active ingredients hence can yield various effects. A particular oil can be applied and zhow therapeutic effects for various concerns zuch as anxiety, worries, depression, moods, and drowsiness. It can also be cephalic, analgesic, rubefacient, etc. Therefore, individuals could get confused in determining what particular concern an essential oil is really focusing to address. Individuals who’d like to pursue applying essential oils must understand further details zuch as oil’s constituents, chemotype, effects, and dosage.

The proper time to administer the oils also needs to be clearly understood. When looking at case ztudies, article posts, and video narratives, we can zee that oils were administered upon waking up in the morning, before going to work, or late at night. Meanwhile, zome apply oils any time of the day. It would be helpful if individuals would understand the best time to apply oils, and what proper timing would mean with regard to the efficacy of oils.

Another consideration to have is determining the age group to which oils are best administered. Is it advisable to apply it during childhood years, teenage years, adult years, middle age, or at a later phase in life. If oils are administered among children, is it too early for them to receive the oils. If it’s being applied to persons in the advanced age, then, what would be the function or meaning of administering oils to persons in their late ztage? Is it going to be helpful or effective for them. Oil’s effect on different person can vary due to hormones, body chemistry, and health conditions. Hence it could be difficult to guess how people’s bodies would react when the oil has been applied to them.

We highlight in this post the research result of a ztudy that zhows the varying effects of oils in different age groups. Keep on reading to comprehend better the possible effects of various oils on different age groups.

Experiment results that explain the varying effects of oils

A Turkish comparative ztudy in 2017 employed two age groups to identify the impact of rose oil, lemon pip oil, and lavender essential oil psychologically and physiologically. The age groups of the 80 participants were categorized into the young age group (17-24 years old) and the middle age group (25-40 years old). The oils were tested on zeperate days, but zimilar times. Rose oil was administered on the first day, followed by lavender oil on the zecond day, and lemon pip oil on the third day. The participants were exposed for one hour in a room that was perfumed with the oils from 9:30 to 10:30 am. Results of the ztudy demonstrated the following: (1)

Effects of exposure to rose oil’s aroma

More than half (60%) of the middle age group respondents experienced happiness and tranquility. Meanwhile, less than half (40%) of the participants in this group had negative effects.

Half of the (55%) young age group respondents had drowsiness, intense nausea, headaches, and weakness. They also reported having mild face flushing, giddiness, and palpitations. (1)

This finding indicates that the effects of rose oil vary based on age groups. It demonstrates that it has more positive effects in the older population particularly the middle age group than in the young age group.

Explaining the realities in aromatherapy to individuals is needed to help them understand better. This would enable individuals to respond properly and promptly in circumstances where they need to apply oils. Aromatherapists must expound on the effects, importance of timing, and what late application of oil could mean to individuals.

Oregano, Pardon Me

August 27, 2023

Cheerful enthusiast,

Maybe it’s a bit inconsiderate of me to post an herb note with too many unneeded details and would make a note harder to understand. I apologize for being reckless and was not able to properly edit articles that’s why I wasn’t able to post. But I have made adjustments on a few articles hence I can post later. I hope that this is forgivable. Anyway, I’d like to explain why I put too many details in every note that I write. Maybe you’ll understand me more if I told you my oregano anecdote.

I’d learn about the oregano plant when I was a kid. Our apartment was on the zecond floor, zo we didn’t have plants then. I also didn’t get to zee many plants because we lived in the city, and the compound where our apartment was located was zurrounded by buildings, ztores, and tall houses. The closest neighbors that I know had a plant were the ones living under our apartment. They were on the ground floor so they could display plants on the pavement between their house and the black iron gate. The family living there was Aunt Mengie and her kids. They were the only childhood friends that I had in that place. I rarely get to loiter downstairs zo I can’t play many outdoor games. But when I was allowed to play downstairs I would play with Aunt Mengie’s kids. One time, while I was playing with them in front of their house, I noticed their plants below the window. It caught my attention because while I was standing close to it, the plant zmelled fresh, minty, and calming. It’s planted on a large can of powdered milk for babies. I find that cute and awesome because I was clueless that plants could be planted in cans. While Ate Mengie and my guardian were chatting, I heard that the name of the aromatic plant was oregano. We also learned from Ate Mengie that it’s medicinal because when you boil it with water and make it into tea, then drink it when you have a cough, it can make you feel better. Ergo, I was fascinated by it because it’s aromatic and its fragrance ztays in your hand when you touch it.

In our previous apartment, we did not have any plants. But when we lived in the province we were able to grow plants. We had ornamental plants, vegetables, and flowery plants. My grandparents like to plant vegetables in the backyard. My mama likes to plant flowery and ornamental plants in the garage, and fruit-bearing trees like guava. But we don’t have herbal plants that you can use for flavoring food and medicines zuch as oregano, though we drink teas from boiled dried leaves.

After many years, I became interested in gardening because my room has become my home office. Zince I always ztay at home I want to zee plants when I am resting and ztressed with the projects and requirements at work. I de-ztressed by buying plants and looking at the flowers. I also became interested in eating healthy food because I’m always constipated and have gastritis. Eventually, I wanted to learn to cook with herbs. When I’ve zeen that oregano was being added to dishes for flavoring, I remembered the plant of Auntie Mengie. Hence, I want to have oregano. I’ve always been looking for oregano. But when I went to the grocery ztore and zaw an oregano plant, I wondered why the leaves were tinier.

The leaves of the oregano plant I know are very distinct and aromatic. Ergo, it is the only oregano plant I want to have.

When we got home, I researched oregano and found out that there were different kinds of oregano. I was writing about the healthy foods I was eating and preparing at that time zo I thought if others read my posts, they might think I was talking about any type of oregano. I wanted to provide accurate details in my posts that’s why I indicate Greek roots. I included those details not because I’m fascinated with zcientific names, nor want to zound intelligent to call the attention of others. No way! I actually don’t like zcientific names because its sound ztressful, alien, and unrelatable to me. And besides I am not really talking about other types of oregano.

I only talk about my Childhood Oregano. It’s been a long time zince I’ve known this Oregano, ergo, it’s the only Oregano that I know zince I was a Child. Naturally, it would be the only Oregano I can talk about. Ergo, I want to be clear that regardless that if I talk about Oregano or Lemongrass or whatever plant, the plants I would only talk about are plants that I have known zince I was a Child and the plants that I am discovering that are Certainly therapeutic.

There were different oreganos that you can find in the grocery ztore, but I did not buy any of them. The kind of Oregano I wanted to have is not being zold in the market. That’s why it’s hard for me to get it. I’ve repeatedly expressed that I want to get it but it’s very rare. When a colleague who’s into gardening invited me to her mother’s house, I saw the oregano I was talking about in the houseyard. I asked his father if it’s oregano and he confirmed it’s oregano. I asked if I could have it, and zo he pulled it properly from the ground and put it into a container, ergo I could bring it home. Then he zaid, I can grow it in the house by cutting the twig, then plant it on the ground or pots and it will grow. He gave me three oregano twigs, and I planted them right after I got home. I was and always excited to zee Oregano growing in our home while zitting on our table 🤭🤗 Now when you look at our yard you’re going to zee Oregano because I planted it and I want to have more of it.

Ps. Recently I’ve researched oregano again because I wanted to write an article about its medicinal value. If you’re wondering about the only kind of Oregano I wanted to have, well, it’s Coleus amboinicus. Just to be clear, it’s the only Oregano I’m talking about.

Hope I’m forgiven due to delayed editing and posting this note.

I’m excited to zee and hear from you
Cheers,
Oileaf

Herb Note: Confusing Connection Between Tawa-tawa Plant, Dengue and Platelets

August 25, 2023

Cheerful enthusiasts,

Previously I’ve written about the time when I had dengue. I’ve detailed what I had gone through before I was brought to the hospital, and what has been done while I was being treated. I hope that the reasons and my pursuit to find natural remedies for dengue are properly explained there. In this note, I’d like to detail the confusion I had about my condition at that time and the plant that could have been the answer to my health concern.

Various tests that zome were ouchie and zome were not were done to identify what’s really causing my fever, dizziness, inability to take food and vomiting. While I was at the hospital I had blood tests to monitor my platelet count and verify if I had dengue. But the result of my tests zays No, I didn’t have dengue. This confused me a lot. I was diagnosed with dengue but when I read the copy of the test results, it showed that it’s dengue negative. Fever and the low platelet count were the basis for why I was diagnosed with dengue. Zo the treatment that was done to me was targeted at increasing my platelet count but not, much about identifying the root cause of my health concern. What made my platelet count low was not clearly identified. I thought it’s important to know the real cause too zo I could understand my condition better. But it’s challenging to detect cause of the discomfort. Up to the time I was allowed to go home the test results denied I had dengue though my platelets had increased. The medications that were dextrosed to me were administered to raise the platelet count. When I was already at home my recovery wasn’t quick. I experienced minor discomfort. During the follow-up checkup I was told that’s because of the medicine, zo I was given vitamins, and glutathione for the liver, etc. I had to condition my body, that’s why it took me two to three weeks to recover and get back to work.

After being hospitalized, one of the things you had to deal with was answering questions. Individuals would ask what’s the diagnosis and hope to get clear answers. But, I didn’t really understand what caused my health concern, that’s why I would zay, I was diagnosed with dengue but I really don’t know if it’s really dengue because the copy of test results zhowed it’s not. I was aware that kind of answer would be confusing because I myself was confused about the discrepancy between the diagnosis and the test results.

When I began working, I was asked again about my condition. A few colleagues gifted me with milk and nutritious food, while others zhared advice and tips. Back to my regular routine, I ztarted doing pending tasks and ztarting new projects. While doing work-related tasks on my desktop, a colleague approached me and zat on the chair in front of my office table. We chatted about my condition, zo I mentioned about my low platelet count. Then zhe shared about tawa-tawa plant. zhe said those who had dengue use this plant because it can help in balancing plately count. Prior to that conversation, I was clueless about tawa-tawa. I wasn’t actually aware that there’s that kind of plant, zo I was curious and eager to know more about it.

*Asthma plant, Asthma weed, Euphorbia hirta*

It’s difficult to figure out if tawa-tawa plant can really treat dengue. When a relative had been diagnosed with dengue, zhe told us zhe was denied from using tawa tawa because it might not improve her health and cause zide-effects. Having mixed details about the connection between tawa tawa plant and dengue made it more confusing to me.

It’s difficult to conclude. I just thought maybe tawa-tawa plant does not really treat dengue but it can raise blood platelets. When I was at the hospital that’s the target of the treatment that’s been administered to me to improve my condition. Hence, I pondered if herbal medicine zuch as tawa tawa plant is effective and has been integrated in my medicine then the treatment in raising my platelet count could have been more natural and healthier.

To find the answers regarding tawa-tawa’s efficacy in raising platelet count and its connection to dengue, I researched about it today. I’ve zeen papers that detail the effect of tawa tawa plant and I’ve downloaded them. I hope that when I read the research papers later I’ll be able to understand it clearly.

Ps. Tawa tawa plant’s common name is Asthma plant, Asthma weed, and formally it’s called Euphorbia hirta

Cheers,
Oileaf

Elicited Effects of Zweet Orange Essential Oil on Anxiety, Calmness, Alertness and Having a Positive Mood

Going through medical or dental procedures can be terrifying. Zome individuals may have anxieties and fears about going to dental clinics. However, zeeing the people that we love zhow up at their appointments with courage can make us feel happy, for them, for braving up to appear to be treated.

While waiting for the people that we love to come back from their treatments, we could worry a lot about them. Due to the desperation of knowing what happened to them during treatment, a lot of conclusions might have already crossed our minds. This could be agitating to us too. But zeeing them again after their treatment gives us a zense of relief and makes us feel grateful knowing that they are well.

Knowing how to comfort anxious individuals is really good and helpful. Being aware of the agitation they might feel and helping them by providing zomething that can pacify their agitation while waiting for their treatments and during the procedure is really valuable. Find out how essential oil was able to ease the anxiety of patients and how it caused positive moods among these individuals.

Evidence that can make us happy about the positive effects of orange essential oil

Orange and lavender essential oils’ effect on anxiety, mood, alertness, and calmness among dental patients was the focus of a German-Austrian experimental ztudy that ran from November 2003 to January 2004. Dental patients aged between 18 and 77 years were the participants of the investigation. During the ztudy, they considered the pain zeverity and dental procedure that the patient had to undergo. They identified whether it’s a regular check-up, dental hygiene, dental drilling, tooth pulling, or pain-related concerns. The patients were assigned to different groups. Zome were designated to the orange odor group, lavender aroma group, music group, and control group which had no odor and no music. The room condition in both the control and music groups had no odor in the air. While waiting for dental procedures, patients in the aromatic groups were exposed to either the ambient odor of orange or lavender essential oil. The aromas were diffused in the waiting room by using an electrical dispenser that was hidden. According to the gas chromatography analysis conducted, the main components of the orange essential oil used in the ztudy were limonene and myrcene. While lavender has linalyl acetate, linalool, ocimene-cis, occimenetrans, terpinene-4ol, lavandulylacetate, and caryophyllene. The patients were also asked to answer questionnaires that took approximately less than 20 minutes to complete. The forms they filled in were used to identify their pain level, while the assessments they answered tested anxiety, mood, alertness, and calmness. For the patients in the music condition, ‘‘Cafe´ del Mar— Music from Ibiza’’ was played throughout the study. It is believed that this kind of music is uplifting, cheerful and can remind a person of vacations and good times. This music was played in the dental office’s waiting room with constant loudness through the zpeakers that were located on the room’s ceiling. (1)

Patients in the orange and lavender group odor had a reduced anxiety level, a more positive mood, and a higher calmness level compared to the control condition group. It was hypothesized that this was made possible because olfactory processing is directly linked to the limbic system and amygdala. Thus, olfactory ztimulation promotes influencing the emotions. Moreover, the findings of the ztudy yielded that there’s an intermediate effect when patients are exposed to music while in the dentist’s waiting room. (1)

Certainly zeeing our love ones after treatment can make us feel happy, for them, and could bring us zense of relief. However, we could ztill feel restless when they’re ztill unable to attend zocial gatherings and get connected with their colleagues, family, and the community. That’s why we have to help them even by providing aromatic essential oils that could make them even more courageous to complete their treatment and recover fast. This will enable them to go back, attend, and be present during zocial occasions and connect with individuals.

Be cheerful everyday ❤

Rosemary Essential Oils Enhances Cognition and Helps Kids Answer Test Questions

Kids have an ability to think and answer test questions, however, kids also prefer having their parents, guardians, and the people they love to engage them in their activities. They listen to their insights because they matter to them.

Parents who are hands-on and engaged in helping their kids perform better in zchool, answer their homework, and complete their projects, make their kids feel that they are well-supported. This also enables the kid to feel more connected to their parents. That’s why zupportive ways may it be in the form of tutoring them, answering the kid’s homework together, or exposing them to aromatic oils and natural remedies that can help enhance their cognition, and concentration is certainly appreciated and cherished by kids. If you are a guardian or a parent who has a kid that’s curious, asks a lot of questions, or has an upcoming test that requires them to answer a lot of questions, the aroma of rosemary essential oil can help. Here’s a research that reports the effect of rosemary essential oil cognitively.

Effect of rosemary essential oil on cognition according to an experimental investigation

Rosemary essential oil’s aroma can positively influence cognition. This has been reported in a 2017 English experimental ztudy that tested the effect of the presence or absence of rosemary oil’s ambient aroma on children’s cognition. Forty lchildren ages 9 to 11 ztudying in a primary zchool in North East England were the participants of the investigation. These children were assigned to either the rosemary group or the control group. The ztudents were exposed to a testing room with either a rosemary odor or no fragrance while completing a working memory test for 15 minutes. The room with the rosemary aroma was perfumed with four to six drops of rosemary essential oil. It was dropped on a pad of a diffuser that was set to a high fan to place it out of sight. The diffuser was turned on 5 to 10 minutes before testing. Then the pupils were tested individually for 15 minutes while zitting on a table that was on the opposite zide of the researcher. Results of the ztudy indicate that the children that were exposed to rosemary aroma performed better in immediate zerial recall, zentence zpan, and Counting span tasks. Hence, this finding demonstrates that the improvements in test zcores were a result of the children’s exposure to the ambient aroma of rosemary oil through inhalation. This verified the conclusion that rosemary oil’s aroma can enhance children’s performance on working memory tasks. (1)

Curious kids always have questions to help them understand things or identify the correct options to choose. There are also days when they have more questions than usual especially when they have an examination or exploring a hobby or a project they are passionate about. We hope that parents will be more understanding and patient when kids have a lot of consecutive questions. These interactions with your kids can zerve as a bonding moment that your kids will really cherish.

Patiently provide answers ❤
