Attack-ing bacteria and removing odour

IN A tropical country like Malaysia, we sweat a lot. Despite antiperspirants and deodorants, the sweat in our clothes can still give off unpleasant odours.

Bad odours are caused by bacteria. Most detergents in the market are designed to clean clothes but not kill these bacteria and germs. This is where Attack detergents can help.

Developed by Kao, Attack is the product of Japanese research and development technology. The new formulation has anti-bacterial properties that prevent bacterial growth and sweat odour all day long.

During a wash, Attack detergents kill germs and bacteria that are already in your laundry. While drying, in storage, and when you wear your clothes, Attack’s new formula inhibits the growth of germs and bacteria, which in turn prevents bad odours.

Kao’s Attack detergents also whiten

FENG SHUI practitioner can read a person’s life cycle from the person’s Zi Wei Dou Shu birth chart.

Take for example, this Zi Wei Dou Shu birth chart ( right) of a 42-year-old female – 43-year-old according to the Chinese calendar.

The chart shows 12 ‘palaces’, or courts – Self, Sibling, Spouse, Children, Wealth, Health, Travel, Friends, Career, Property, Mental and Parent – that run in a counterclockwise direction.

Each of these palaces describes the different aspects of the woman’s destiny potential.

The position of the Self palace is determined by the lunar month and hour of birth.

Note that no matter the starting point, the sequence of the 12 palaces is always the same, and flows in an anticlockwise direction.

Two of the most common methods used to interpret the chart are the Three Harmony method, and the Four Transformation method.

The main difference between these two methods is that the Three Harmony method relies heavily on the palaces and stars to make an intepretation, while the Four Transformation method relies on the palaces and transformational energy to give a positive or negative outcome.

Using the diagram as an example, the top portions of each palace have the names of the stars which describe the quality of the woman’s potential, or luck, in each of the 12 aspects of her life.

The You Bi star, in the Parent palace, suggests that her parent(s) can be helpful in her life.

If these stars are positively enhanced (see the green coloured text and curved arrows), her potential in these areas is enhanced.

For example, observe the green curved arrow added to Wu Qu in the Wealth palace.

The Wu Qu star, which is a money star, implies that this woman will have good cashflow during certain decades.

Meanwhile, the green whites, brighten colours, clean and soften, and penetrate deep into fabric fibres for a thorough clean.

They also remove tough stains, have a refreshing fragrance that lasts, and are suitable for overnight and indoor drying.

With superb cleaning performance and hygienic properties, Attack detergents can be found in both liquid and powder forms.

There are five Attack liquid detergents, and four Attack powder detergents to choose from.

They range from the ultra powder detergent for tough stains, to the softener and perfumeinfused detergents that curved arrow accentuates that her fortunes, meaning that she will acquire more wealth than expected.

Conversely, if these stars are negatively enhanced – such as Tai Yin in Property – then any potential is negated.

The palaces also indicate the decade luck cycles, and these are used to predict the woman’s luck during different decades of her life.

The luck of a person may start from decades one, two, three, four, five, or six, depending on the Birth Year Stem, as well as the Na Yin element, which is the result of pairing the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch.

If the resulting element is Water, then the person’s luck cycles start from two to 11, followed by 12 to 21, 22 to 31, etc.

If the element is Wood, then the luck cycle starts from three to 12, 13 to 22, 23 to 32, etc.

These decade luck cycles can run clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the individual’s gender and whether he or she is born in a make ironing easy, as well as leave your clothes smelling good all day.

All Kao’s Attack detergents feature anti-bacterial properties, prevent bacterial growth, and provide sweat odour prevention properties, all day long. Yin or Yang year.

Yang year Stems are Jia, Bing, Wu, Geng and Ren, while Yin year Stems are Yi, Ding, Ji, Xin and Gui.

At the bottom left of each palace are the palace Stem and Branch, which determine the Four Transformation energies, and are important components in the Four Transformation method.

At the bottom right of each palace are particular years and ages, used in conjunction with the decade luck cycles to assist in determining when events happen.

In the Four Tranformation method that I practise, there are 14 major stars with names such as Zi Wei, Tai Yang, Tian Fu, etc, and four supplementary stars, namely Wen Chang, Wen Qu, Zuo Fu, and You Bi.

The Three Harmony method makes use of the same major stars, additional supplementary stars, and many minor stars.

Both methods make use of what is known as the Birth Year Si Hua, which produces Four Transformation energies that are based on the Heaven Stem of the birth year.

These are shown by the bracketed extensions, such as (Lu), (Quan), (Ke) and (Ji).

These energies enhance or depreciate the quality of the stars and the palaces that they reside in.

For example, the (Ke) energy at the Zi Wei star in the Self palace means that this woman gets a lot of assistance from ‘helpful’ people. The Zi Wei star, which stands for ‘emperor’, means that this assistance can come from powerful people.

The Four Transformation method makes use of the Transformation energies from the Stem of each of the palaces, and it is the key to many of the forcasts in Zi Wei Dou Shu.
