more photos and traditional medicine

Here more photos! I am not good at computer so the photos is not in a good arrangement. See the one grilling the baby pig!! This is the way of mountain people grill the meat. There are some zinc covering around the fire.... have a reason to cover with it too. The zinc absorbs the fire very well and the pig got the heat evenly cooked. That man sat there for 1 hours rotating the bamboo.








This is the way Robins sitting at my first sitting room waiting the guests!






My beautiful grandma (center), Stela (my cousin, the one on the right, I have never met her before) at the New Year Party. Ok now see the left girl... I do not remember her name! ( I am very bad at name).. Please see her neck carefully, you will see that there is a long red line. This red line is NOT hikki (spelling?)...(I used to think how come mountain people are so naughty too)... Actually this is a very traditional medication. When people suffer headache or bodyache, they got this treatment. It is call "Khunt Sar", They used a kind of medicated liquid and scratch with Thai money coin repeatedly till the red mark came out!! (it is believe to be taking out the body's heat)... The first time when I tried to do it, I thought I was going to drop dead because it was a very painful treatment. Now sometime I like it and for me it is work too. I feel very good feeling like after getting Thai Foot Massage!! (by the way there is a foot massage place call "Dr. Foot", if you are in Bangkok please do not go back home without visiting this place)......It is very good!!!




Let see some more mountain medications....I remember that my grandma used to give me termarine juice if I can't go to the toilet! Try it and you will see that it is work well. Some time She fed us Papaya, this fruit work very well too. Termarine will loose you up good..



If you have running stomach, please eat the banana grill! After two banana grill you will feel better. Work better if you eat with sticky rice!! It will clog you good.



If you suffer for the heat, there is a kind of root call "Thanakar".. you put some water and rub on the rock then a very good fragrant liquid come out. You put that "Thanakar" liquid all over your body it will cool you down and make you feel soooooooo good too.



OK this one might work or not I do not know but mountain people said this.... They said if someone is "epilectic" put the key change in their mouth!!! I never saw people done that so do not try this at home!!! Oh the mountain people say that there are so many plants and roots and animal's skins or brain or claw or hairs or blood will do good things to you ...See they do not have doctors on the mountain so they will do what ever they can think about it. Believe me that some parts of the world are still using mountain medicine!!



Even in the middle of Bangkok park ( limpini park), I saw Japanese people were drinking snake's blood saying boost their sex life!! (this is before Viagra).
