Serai Wonder

Just want to share informations, I feel like a health care giver with all this post about cancer and prevention from cancer.:P Anyway, it's something reasonable to share I hope :).
I would like to recommend each of our homes to plant serai aka lemon grass, as a smart way to prevent cancer inshaAllah. I have read that Israelis are planting serai at their backyards in attempt to reduce the likelihood of cancer cells to develop.

It all began when researchers at Ben Gurion University of the Negev discovered last year that the lemon aroma in herbs like lemon grass kills cancer cells in vitro, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

The research team was led by Dr. Rivka Ofir and Prof. Yakov Weinstein, incumbent of the Albert Katz Chair in Cell-Differentiation and Malignant Diseases, from the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at BGU.

Citral is the key component that gives the lemony aroma and taste in several herbal plants such as lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), melissa (Melissa officinalis) and verbena (Verbena officinalis.)

Hmm..it's not so difficult really. Considering what we're exposing ourselves to, radiations and chemicals in our food and Allah knows what else, we might as well give this a try.

The way to have it ? Boil in hot water and have a glass of it everyday. Tom yam would do I guess!
