First impressions are very important especially when presenting a gift to an acquaintance. Studies have actually shown that there are only seven seconds to make a strong impression with someone that you barely know. So better get something unique rather than an old mug that will probably be hidden at the back of the cupboard. A bottle of a loved one or a close friend’s favorite scent is one of the most endearing gifts you can gift. It will be a meaningful present especially if they collect different types of scents and perfumes.

It is often burnt to bless a new house just as people are moving in. Quite possibly the best-known ceremonial smudge plant, sage used for meditation, cleansing and purification.

Rasna, a decoction of the roots of A. praemorsa, is a bitter tonic that is considered to be a specific remedy for rheumatism in India. Its usage also extends to the treatment of sciatica, neuralgia, syphilis and uterine disorders in the country. The primitive Dongria Kandha tribe from Niyamgiri Hills consume a tablespoon made from the roots of A. praemorsa on an empty stomach, twice daily for 15 days, when they suffer from arthritis. Koya tribe from Andra Pradesh uses the pulverised plant, mixed with egg white and calcium to produce a paste for application on fractured limbs to promote healing. In Nepal, the powdered root of A. praemorsa is used to treat rheumatism or to produce a cooling effect.
This colonial building is one of the world’s last grand 19th-century hotels, once visited by literary luminaries such as Rudyard Kipling and Joseph Conrad, as well as movie star Charlie Chaplin. Built in 1887, the property has served as a city landmark for well over a century and continues to live up to its tony reputation with excellent food and service. The classical architecture and tropical gardens provide a refined setting and represent another facet of Singapore’s varied and rich history. The Raffles Hotel Singapore is located in the city’s Colonial District, which is also home to several other historic sites, and a good place to base yourself in the city. Here, you’ll find the Raffles Landing Site, where Sir Stamford Raffles is said to have stepped ashore in 1819. The story has it that he saw the small fishing village but recognized its potential as a port, so he purchased the land from the Sultan of Johor and invited Chinese and Indian immigrants to move here. And so the seeds of Singapore’s multi-ethnic identity were sown. Read even more details at this website.
