Njengomnikazi wekati, uzothola amathoyizi amaningi ane-"catnip", izimbiza ezinotshani bekati obuzitshalayo, noma ama-sachets ane-catnip omisiwe. Kodwa kuyini konke futhi yini umehluko? Ungathola izimpendulo lapha.
Nepeta Cataria Aka "Catnip"
Lesi sitshalo esinegama lesiLatini elithi Nepetaria Cataria singesomndeni we-mint. Iqhakaza isikhathi eside emithunzini ehlukahlukene eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka nokumhlophe, ngakho-ke, ingenye yezitshalo ezihlala isikhathi eside ezitshalwa njalo eminyakeni yamuva. Ekuqaleni livela eningizimu yeYurophu, e-Afrika nase-Asia, kodwa ungazitshala ngokwakho ekhaya. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kudinga ukubekezela, njengoba kumila izimpande kancane futhi kungavunwa kuphela ngosayizi we-approx. 45cm. Kulabo abangenaso isithupha esiluhlaza, ungawathola omisiwe ezitolo zokudla kwezempilo. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi, kubalulekile ukugcina i-catnip ingangeni emoyeni ukuze amafutha abalulekile angahwamuki ngokushesha. Kuye ngohlobo, banephunga lemony noma le-minty.
Umthelela Emakatini
Amakati amaningi athanda iphunga le-mint futhi azihlikihla ezitshalweni, aze adle izingxenye zawo noma alale ngqo esitshalweni ngokwaso. Amakati aphumule ngokuphawulekayo, kodwa lokhu kungabonwa kuphela kumakati amadala. Izilwane ezindala kanye namakati amancane abonisa isithakazelo esincane esitshalweni. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi lesi sitshalo sikhipha iphunga elifana nelekati elithile le-cat pacifiers. I-Nepetalactone, i-pheromone, isebenza ohlelweni lwezinzwa futhi ngaleyo ndlela ikhiqize umphumela odakayo noma ophumuzayo. Ngisho namakati anovalo ayakhululeka, agingqike ezitshalweni, aphuphuzele, futhi adlale ngamaqabunga aze agcine esewadla.
Ngokumangalisayo, nokho, lo mphumela uvela cishe ku-50% wawo wonke amakati. Ososayensi namuhla bakholelwa ukuthi “intshiseko” nge-catnip iyifa. Njengoba i-catnip ingenabungozi, ubuthi buyinto engenakwenzeka. Izinkinga zingavela, noma kunjalo, uma ikati lijabulela isitshalo kakhulu futhi kaningi. Uma “isidakamizwa sekati” sigodlwe kuye, singaholela ekukhungathekeni kwezinye izilwane, ezibonakala ngokuqhuma kwentukuthelo, ukujuluka okukhulu, noma ukulunywa umsila. Ngakho-ke, kufanele unikeze i-mint ngezikhathi ezithile nje "njengokukhethekile" ukuze izimpawu ezinjalo zokuhoxiswa zingenzeki kwasekuqaleni.
Kuyasebenziseka
Ngendlela, ungasebenzisa futhi imiphumela emihle ye-catnip. Okuthunyelwe okungamukeleki kahle kokuklwebha kungazelelwe kube ukukhanga, amathoyizi angathandwa aba yinto eyintandokazi futhi nebhokisi lezokuthutha elizondwayo lingalahlekelwa ukwesaba kwalo ngesenzo esinekhono. Ngendlela: I-Catnip igama lesiNgisi lesitshalo esifanayo.
Ngendlela, i-valerian nayo iyindlela engokwemvelo ye-catnip. Ungayithenga njengezimpande eziphelele noma njengamaconsi. Owakamuva nawo ungasetshenziswa ukwenza amathoyizi ahehe kakhulu. Kodwa kufanele uqiniseke ukuthi amaconsi awaqukethe utshwala obuningi, ngoba lokhu kungaba yingozi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ikati Lotshani
Leli gama libhekisela ezitshalweni ezihlukahlukene ezinjengotshani amakati athanda ukuzidla noma ukuzishwabadela. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kuye kwaba nemibono eyahlukene yokuthi kungani amakati ethanda lobu tshani kangaka. Ekuqaleni, kwakucatshangelwa isengezo sokudla, njengoba lezi zitshalo ziqukethe i-folic acid, engatholakali enyameni. Kubalulekile ekwakhekeni kwegazi ngakho-ke kubalulekile emzimbeni wekati. I-thesis elandelayo iwukuthi ukudla utshani kusekela ukuboshwa kwezinwele ezigwinywe esiswini futhi kusiza inqubo yokuvala. Utshani buyasiza ukuthi ungagxili umgudu wokugaya ukudla ngezinwele eziningi futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuvimbela ukuvala.
Kunezinhlobo eziningana zotshani bekati kanye nezitshalo ezengeziwe ezitholakala ngokwentengiso kodwa azinconywa nhlobo. Njengesivivinyo sokuthi utshani bufanele amahlosi akho, kufanele ukwenze ngokwakho. Amaqabunga akufanele abe lukhuni noma acijile futhi angabi nezimbali ezihlabayo. Lokhu kungabangela ukusikeka okuyingozi emphinjeni noma esiswini sekati futhi, esimweni esibi kakhulu, kuze kuholele ekufeni uma i-blade yotshani ingatholakali ngokushesha ngokwanele. Uma ikati lakho libuthakathaka ngokuphawulekayo ngemva kokudla utshani bekati, lingasadli, futhi lithimula noma lihlikihla ikhala, kufanele ubone udokotela wakho wezilwane ngokushesha. Okokugcina, kufanele uqiniseke ukuthi isitshalo asivundiswanga noma asilashwanga ngezibulala-zinambuzane.
Izitshalo Ezinconyiwe
Izinhlobo ezinconywayo ngokujwayelekile utshani baseSeychelles, obuvame ukubizwa ngoqalo oluncane noma umugqa oluhlaza. Nokho, lokhu kwakamuva akukhuthazwa uma kusendlini yomuntu obhemayo: kuhlunga ubuthi obuvela emoyeni, obuzobunjwa yikati. Enye indlela ephephile ukuhlwanyela amagridi akho afana nokolweni, ibhali, noma i-oats. Lezi zinhlobonhlobo ziphephile ukuthi ikati lizijabulele futhi futhi zishibhile kuwe.
Uma wena njengomnikazi wekati ungakholelwa otshanini bekati noma ikati limane nje lingenandaba neziqu eziluhlaza, ungasebenzisa ukunamathisela kwe-malt. Ngenxa yamafutha, aqukethe, lokhu kunomthelela omuhle ekugayeni futhi kusiza izinwele ukuba zichithe kalula ngaphandle kokuhlanza.
