How We Cure Indigestion

There are different ways to cure indigestion. Someone drinks lemon juice, others use black tea maybe with juice of lemon and much sugar, sometimes they ingest activated carbon. All these remedies are valid.

Not all of us know that there is a very important plant to use in these cases: it's the wild rose. It's berries with the seeds. Not always we find seeds in the dry rosehips in the herbalist’s shops because they have not very pleasant hairs, but they say, these seeds contain very useful substances. So, if you prepare your herb tea, use the seeds and filter than the drink.

Wild rose is very good not only for those who has indigestion but for those who has liver and kidneys problems and illnesses. Even those who has grave illnesses can and have to use rosenhips without fear.

There are herbal drinks in the filters in the supermarkets, too. It's good if they contain hibiscus and elderberries, too.

The wild rose is very easy to grow in the garden and it's very efficient as a fence. You will have your own berries of the wild rose every autumn. But the wild rose is beautiful, too, and it will enjoy your eyes from spring till winter: the red rosehips are very spectacular in the white winter cover and they attract birds. You see how many joys and benefits can donate you a simple modest wild plant.

Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves' Paintings and Ryukoku Museum

Very interesting Buddhist complex Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves situating between Turfan and Shanshan (China) is now presented in Japanese Ryukoku Museum in private Ryukoku University.

There are pictures representing different lives of Buddha Sakyamuni were in the very eng corridor. After I've watched some of the videos available in YouTube, I can't understand how the painters were able to make this works. I would give the name of one of the marvels of the world to this work. But, as they say, it's better to see once than ti hear 10 times. The first video is about the Bezeklik Caves and the second video is about the exposition in the museum of Ryukoku.
