Can it be used for mozzie bites Polks?

If they are itchy, I suppose.   I have seen tea tree oil used effectively for those, and Stingose is super effective for green ant etc. bites, provided it is applied immediately.  When I used to garden, I had the Stingose with me.   Even if you take three minutes to go inside and find the Stingose, the bite will continue to hurt. The trick is to apply it straight away.

 

Medical tips for the day.

 

In keeping with the topic, halal certified or not. 

I find that with Stingoes too and my aloe vera plant died, which used to be good for burns and itches. I have some apple cider vinegar in the cupboard. So might try that next time my daughter gets attacked by mozzies.
Thanks Polks
Not sure if any of those are halal certified or not either

Oils from a plant extract should be halal, so long as there is no alcohol in them. (and so long as those oils aren't of the hallucinogen variety. 😉

 

It does seem strange to me that some of those people living in our 21st century society should still feel the need to be bound by ancient religious-inspired food restrictions.

 

It needs to be remembered that an halal food is only ritually clean (and an haram food is only unclean in a ritual sense).

 

 

 

 

 

There have been quite a few times when ive written that i boycott halal certified products, that some idiot has responded with "Well, you better not drink water then cause its halal."

I remind them that i am against halal certification and that to me, water is not halal, because halal is a made up word from a religion i dont believe in.

 

One has to wonder why "The purest bottled  water on the planet" needs to pay for halal and kosher certification? http://capegrim.com.au/waterlogos.php#water

Just ridiculous

Halal  is an Islamic Arabic term meaning "permissible." If water is not eprmissable to you, then I suggest you have a rather severe dietary problem

After doing some research I discovered that while there are reports that halal certification actually began in the 1960s it didn’t take off until the 1980s.

 

IFANCA (Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America) has been established since 1982, IDCP (Islamic Da’Wah Council of the Philippines) since 1987, ICCV (Islamic Co-ordinating Council of Victoria) 1992 and Halal Australia since 2004.

 

In The Australian newspaper a while back Mr Ikabel Patel of the  Australian Federation of Islamic Councils (AFIC) said, "Australia has had legislation on halal since 1983 -- so we are already dealing with aspects of Sharia for the benefit of the country.”

I believe the key to the rise of these schemes is related to the 1979 siege of Mecca.

I was wondering about just when halal certification became popular in Australia, and although it seems to have become newsworthy only of late, it has been here for quite a bit longer than I realised.

what on earth are you talking about?

I drink water, but not because it is "halal" or permissable.

 

I will try to put it in simple terms for you. To Muslims, water is naturally halal. So why on earth is a business that has "The purest bottled  water on the planet" needing to pay a certification fee for an halal or kosher certification stamp?

Its a scam
