 PULIH MARI BALI WUTUH PURNA WALUYA JATI  Benutzung eines Metate (mexikanische Handmühle) Use of a Mexican metate Gandhik and Pipisan stone herb grinder  In Java, the gandhik is the cylindrical stone used to crush medicinal herbs on the pipisan, which is the flat stone. In the preparations of traditional Javanese herbal remedies called jamu, the gandhik and pipisan were used alongside the lumpang-alu mortar and pestle. For preparing herbs for cooking, a different shape of stone mortar and pestle was used, called the cowek-munthu. Recently researchers have linked the gandhik-pipisan to the South American maize grinder and the Chinese armada of Zheng He of the 15'th century Ming dynasty. Wrecks of part of the armada near Indonesian waters have revealed these same tools which had apparently been transported from South America. Other evidence also points to contact between Chinese sailors and South American culture, for instance the spread of maize in South East Asia before the arrival of the white man, and the Chinese name adopted for it in Java : jagung. Zheng He is venerated on the North Coast Of Java by the name of Dampo Awang. In traditional Java, not many people would own and use a gandhik and pipisan, as these tools were usually used by the wealthy and knowledgeable. Finding a complete set of gandhik and pipisan like this is very rare indeed. This particular pipisan is worked on more than the average pipisan would be, and on the underside you can see the mark of the mason who gracefully fashioned this tool of mediaeval science. The gandhik rolls perfectly in the groove created by years of use on this very same pipisan. South American Metate Stone For Grinding Corn  Metate(mealing stone)  A metate (or mealing stone) is a mortar, a ground stone tool used for processing grain and seeds. In traditional Mesoamerican culture, metates were typically used by women who would grind calcified maize and other organic materials during food preparation (e.g., making tortillas). Similar artifacts are found all over the world, including China.

gandik
Gandik (bahasa Inggris: Silver Side) adalah bagian paha belakang sapi terluar dan paling dasar. Banyak yang sering tertukar dengan menyamakannya dengan Daging Paha Depan atau Shank. Biasanya daging ini digunakan untuk membuat dendeng balado atau abon sapi. Gandik, adalah bagian “raut muka” dari sebilah keris. Ada gandik polos, ada yang dilengkapi racikan lain. Letaknya tepat diatas sirah cecak. Bagian gandik ini hampir selalu berada dibagian depan keris, hanya pada beberapa dapur keris antara lain dapur “cengkrong” yang letaknya dibelakang dari bilah keris. Kata “gandik” dalam bahasa Jawa berarti batu penggilas yang bentuknya bulat panjang. Ukuran dan ketebalannya bermacam-macam. |
Berbagai macam penyakit yang diderita oleh manusia disebabkan oleh pola dan gaya hidup manusia itu sendiri. Namun ternyata, kedokteran modern yang menggunakan obat berbahan dasar kimia tidak mampu menyembuhkan semua penyakit tersebut. Jamu/Herbal tradisional yang merupakan warisan leluhur bangsa ini, menjadi pilihan yang banyak dipakai untuk pengobatan alternatif. Disamping murah, jamu juga tidak mengandung bahan kimia yang bisa saja justru menimbulkan efek samping yang lain pada tubuh kita.
