Screwpine or Pandan leaf or better known as daun pandan in Malay smells sweetly fresh and floral, lightly musky, with notes of new mown grass. Leaves have to be bruised or cooked to release their flavour. Daun pandan is just a down to earth plant..The malays use daun pandan as their pot pourri, culinary use n also beauty product.

gambar ni diambil dari aidaanuwi fotopages. thank u..susah nak nak cari gambar orang sedang buat bunga rampai
1st : to inspire all day long.. cut some pandan leaves , rose bud or any fragrance flower. racik halus halus macam bunga rampai dan letak disisi meja atau dalam bilik..wangikan!! place it in a bowl and put on a table to air the fragrance of the pot pourri. Or u can also put it in a sachet n hang it near the air conditioned..this is supposed to wake up your sensory sense n sooth you down...
2nd. boil 2inch of pounded ginger, 7 or 5 pandan leaves --boil, steep n drink it cold or warm. this is what we called light jamu..the benefit of this three spices are to promote your metabolic rate, reduce stress, kill any parasite/worm in your body ( for people who eat pork..this is what u have to do!), calming digestion, aiding circulation (as u putting back water in your body), reduce skin problem ( as it cleanse yr intestine), mild astringent, improve vitality and also it add spice to yr sensuality! (aphrodisiac)

HONEY TREATS
oopss..this honey photo was from beauty bubbles and soap. thank u dear...
The humectants properties of honey nourish and moisturize the skin. You can use honey on both face and body. In Malaysia, 3/4 of honey production are from Orang Asli..Honey has been traditionally been used to cover open wounds in order to soften scar tissue and encourage the growth of new skin.
On your face.
1. Massage runny honey - with a squeeze of lime for astringent purposes or some ground oatmeal if you like a rougher texture - into damp skin for 15 minutes.
2. Rinse your face with warm water to leave it feeling soft and peeled.
3. Mix Bedak Sejuk Muntah Belut with a teaspoon honey and lime juice. Put it on your face as a mask. Honey is an astringent & relaxant, Lime or Lemon juice will lighten any scars n has brightening effect. Leave it on your face for 20 mins or till dry. Remember to do this treatment while lying on your back. This will gives maximum result. (if u put on your mask and walk around, doing housework remember the gravity allows early sagging face)

1. Cover body with honey and sit in a room. Psst..remember to bring a bottle of honey whenever u head to the spa:)
2. Shower and feel how soft your skin is..
