There are a lot of historical evidences to show the pains delivered
in building a temple for Lord Shiva. All these happened during
the past centuries. In this 21st century we are blessed to see a
person who is suffering with a great pain in building a temple for
Lord Shiva. He is Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar. He is undergoing
a lot of troubles from the persons, who do not want the upcoming
of the wonderful Shiva Temple. It is very sure that Swamiji will
emboss his name in the history. The opposites will enter in to the
anger of Lord Shiva. It is very sure that they will be punished to
the greatest extent by Lord Shiva. There are a lot of examples
from the past, for the persons who got great blessings from Lord
Shiva. There are lots of examples also for the persons who got
into the anger of Lord Shiva. This one issue is not sufficient
for writing all these; we will see some more examples from the

plants, some useful ones found only in a particular genus or species. The next year, about a dozen shoots will form from the roots. These
shoots are then stripped of their bark, which is left to dry. Only
the thin inner bark is used; the outer woody portion is removed,
leaving meter-long cinnamon strips that curl into rolls on drying;
each dried roll comprises strips from numerous shoots packed
together. These rolls are then cut into 5–10 cm lengths for sale.
The name cinnamon is correctly used to refer to Ceylon cinnamon,
also known as “true cinnamon”. However, the related species are
sometimes sold labeled as cinnamon, sometimes distinguished from
true cinnamon as “Chinese cinnamon”, “Vietnamese cinnamon”,
or “Indonesian cinnamon”. Ceylon cinnamon, using only the thin
inner bark, has a finer, less dense, and more crumbly texture, and is
considered to be less strong than cassia. Cassia has a much stronger
(somewhat harsher) flavor than cinnamon, is generally a medium
to light reddish brown, hard and woody in texture, and thicker as
all of the layers of bark are used.
Cinnamon bark is widely used as a spice. It is principally employed
in cookery as a condiment and flavoring material. It’s used in the
preparation of chocolate. In medicine it acts like other volatile
oils and once had a reputation as a cure for colds. It has also been
used to treat diarrhoea and other problems of the digestive system.
The essential oil of cinnamon also has antimicrobial properties,
which can aid in the preservation of certain foods. Cinnamon has
traditionally been used to treat toothache and fight bad breath

and its regular use is believed to stave off common cold and
aid digestion. Cinnamon has been proposed for use as an insect
repellent. Cinnamon leaf oil has been found to be very effective
in killing mosquito larvae. It is reported that regularly drinking
of tea made from the bark could be beneficial to oxidative stress
related illness in humans, as the plant part contains significant
antioxidant potential. The next is Ginger.
Ginger
Ginger is a spice which is used for cooking and is also consumed
whole as a delicacy or medicine. It is the underground stem of the
ginger plant. The characteristic odor and flavor of ginger root
is wonderful. Young ginger rhizomes are juicy and fleshy with
a very mild taste. They are often pickled in vinegar or sherry
as a snack or just cooked as an ingredient in many dishes. They
can also be stewed in boiling water to make ginger tea, to which
honey is often added as a sweetener; sliced orange or lemon fruit
may also be added. Mature ginger roots are fibrous and nearly
dry. The juice from old ginger roots is extremely potent and
is often used as a spice in Indian recipes to flavor dishes such
as fish or mutton and vegetarian recipes. Powdered dry ginger
root (ginger powder) is typically used to spice gingerbread and
other recipes. Fresh ginger can be substituted for ground ginger
although the flavors of fresh and dried ginger are not exactly
interchangeable. Ginger is also made into candy, is used as a
flavoring for cookies, crackers and cake, and is the main flavor
in ginger ale a sweet, carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage.
Fresh ginger should be peeled before cooking. For storage,
the ginger should be wrapped tightly in a towel and placed
in a plastic bag, and can be kept for about three weeks in a
refrigerator and up to three months in a freezer. The medical
form of ginger was classified as a stimulant and carminative,
and used frequently for dyspepsia and colic. It was also
frequently employed to disguise the taste of medicines. Ginger
is on the FDA’s ‘generally recognized as safe list. Ginger may
also decrease joint pain from arthritis and useful for treating
heart disease. Ginger compounds are active against a form of
diarrhea. Ginger has been found effective in multiple studies
for treating nausea caused by seasickness, morning sickness
and chemotherapy. A variety of uses are suggested for ginger.
Tea brewed from ginger is a folk remedy for colds. Three to
four leaves of Tulsi taken along with a piece of ginger on an
empty stomach is an effective cure for congestion, cough and
cold. Ginger ale and ginger beer have been recommended
as “stomach settlers” for generations and ginger water was
commonly used to avoid heat cramps. Ginger has also been
used to treat inflammation,
In India, ginger is applied as a paste to the temples to relieve
headache and consumed when suffering from the common cold,
people use ginger for making tea, in food etc. In the United
States, ginger is used to prevent motion and morning sickness.
It is recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration
and is sold as an unregulated dietary supplement.

plants that has got very good medicinal effects.
