Herbalism was introduced in the world many years ago. Herbalism is the study of botanical medicines and the use of medicinal plants to treat different types of disease and this practice is still used in modern world.

 Nowadays we often find old age herbalists rather young age herbalists, youngsters or students always dream about being a doctor rather a herbalist, however there is still a soul, who wants to be a herbalist in this advanced world.Ali Nawaz is one of the inspirational personalities of herbalism, who is sedulous, confident and focused to achieving goals tremendously.

He was born in December 1996 Tando Gulam Ali, but later on, he shifted to Kotri in 2003 with his family. He passed intermediate as a pre medical student in 2016 at Degree Government boys college kotri, Although he wanted to be a doctor, but he now chooses herbalism, because he was unable to get admission in medical university as he is not financially strong enough to pay medical university fees, but he did not let himself be miserable in future life forever, so he did not give up and he took admission in private B.A in 2017 at Degree Government Boys College at Kotri. After private B.A, he has taken admission in 4 years BMS in LUMHs university at Jamshoro and this 4 years BMS degree would be benefit to his chosen field.

 Apart from being a herbalist, he has other interests such as urdu poetry, reading urdu novels, teaching and formulating cosmetic. He is currently experimenting cosmetic formulations, because he wants to organise his own skin care products, however the skin care line is not organised yet.”I have noticed many people, who are concerned about their cosmetic issues, such as acne, pigmentation and uneven skin tone and these concerns are further degenerated due to using fragranced based products from market, since fragrance can trigger many skin issues, hence It makes me develop skin care line, which is mainly free from fragrance and artificial colouring. I will inshallah launch my own skin care line soon.” Ali Nawaz said in the interview.

 He is not a self employed, because he has just started herbalism, so he is not allowed to open his own clinic, therefore he has been working in clinic named Ghouri Dawakhana at Latifabad Hyderabad. He works as a dispenser in a botanical dispensary. His work is to make and provide prescribed herbal medicine to patients, apart from he also guides patients how to take medicines and this practical work serves major role in his field.

Ali Nawaz had a dream to treat poor patients free from cost in his childhood and he has still same aim. “I was obsessed with doctors so much and wanted to be a doctor, but my parents can not afford the fees of medical college, as my father is only a private worker, so I choose herbalism, which can also narrowly serve same purpose as a doctor. It would be great to be a herbalist along with the science based medical knowledge, and this medical knowledge can make me further a successful herbalist.” Said Ali Nawaz in a confident tone. He studies about botanical herbs through books or internet to explore information as much as he can. He practises taking blood pressure, taking fever and testing sugar of neighbours in his street free from cost,” This practice gives me two things, one I can master my essentials in this field, second I am helpful for my neighbours in needy time one or an other way.” Said Ali Nawaz. People who live in his street, really admire his profession and enthusiasm towards being a herbalist.

“I am sure that my interest and struggle towards herbalism make me a successful herbalist and offer me to serve humanity” he said.

“It does not mean, if you are rejected, it is dead end, who knows that way might not be chosen for you. Keep your head up and always give a try,” he further said by leaving a hope to those, who have lost their hope.

PROLONG SUN EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE UNEXPECTED CONCERNS.

Do you know that you still expose to UV rays from sun,even if you are indoor?

Our Earth is nothing without sun. If sun did not exist, our planet would be an ice ball and lifeless, hence sun serves major role in our daily life. Sun has so many essential benefits,such as keeping seas warm, stirring atmosphere, generating the weather cycle, and giving energy to green plants, which can not be denied. Although sun provide unlimited benefits to living organisms,sun can also cause other concerns,which could be threatening for living organisms.

Sun is abandoned of ultraviolet radiations (UVR), which are named ultraviolet A (UVA), ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet C (UVC). UVC is not as strong as UVA and UVB, therefore UVC does not reach on the surface of the Earth,while UVA and UVB reach on the surface of the Earth and the fact is UVA rays can enter through the windows of house, but under shelter UV rays do not cause any serious concern. UV rays are stronger between 10 am to 4pm and these peak hours should be avoided during strong index of UV rays, while the strength of UV rays depends on a number of factors,such as season of the year, distance from the equator, altitude, clouds, reflection of surfaces and content of the air.

We expose to sun light on daily basis, whether it could be long term or short term, varies person to person.However sun is the greatest source of vitamin D, excessive sun exposure is not necessarily important for vitamin D synthesis, because prolong sun exposure could raise more concerns than just vitamin D synthesis, sun does not provide humans vitamin D, rather human body is designed to make vitamin D synthesis, when the skin is exposed to sun light.Even then someone really wants to increase vitamin D from sun, morning sun light before 10 pm is considered to be safe for getting vitamin D. While sun is not only source of Vitamin D, but vegetables and fruits also provide human significant vitamin D and these sources are well studied for vitamin D.

People go out and let their skin expose to sun either for work or for tanning purpose, but the fact is, it not only speeds up ageing process, but it also increases the chances of skin cancer for those, who do not have enough melanins in their skin to protect against UV rays, because these melanin pigments work as an umbrella to prevent cancer in the skin and these melanins also give tanned colour to skin, while these melanins in the skin will not slow down ageing process.

UV rays penetrate into skin deeply and damage the fibres called elastin in the skin, these fibres are meant to maintain firmness and youth in the skin. When UV light penetrates deeply in the skin, it damages the fibre in skin and leads pre mature ageing. Sun exposure can also cause sun spots or age spots on the skin due to over production of melanins, so while the damage may not be visible in youth, but these age spots will become visible and stubborn later in life.

Skin cancer is one of the prior concern of prolong sun exposure in human,although high chances of skin cancer happen in US, since lack of melanins is the cause of cancer, sun can also cause skin cancer in other parts of the world. UV light causes basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer and it can also be severe blisters and sunburn, but these disease convert into melanoma later in life. Cumulative sun exposure can lead to eye cancer, when uv rays affect the skin around eyes, cause cataracts, cancer of the eyelid and it may cause macular degeneration.

Staying in sun for long time can cause dehydration. Dehydration happens when the body is exposed to sun and the body sweats to cool itself off, due to this reaction the hydration level of a body decreases and sun is the only thing,which can be blamed for dehydration. It usually happens during hot summer season, however dehydration can happen any seasons of the year.

When there is a sign of heat stroke, it means emergency, because heat stroke can terminate life in no time. Sun can cause heat stroke when body gets over heated during hot weather.Dehydration can also cause heat stroke, however heat stroke does not happen while staying indoor.

Taking care of the skin out door is crucial to protect the skin from UV rays, so these concerns will not occur. Using a good SPF 30+ reduces the risk of skin cancer and pre mature ageing, wearing SPF indoor is also important,as UVA can enter through windows. Drinking plenty of water can prevent heatstroke and dehydration and avoid direct sun light too. Remember prevention is always better than cure.
