Jamu is a medicine that has been traditionally used from ancient times in Indonesia. But Jamu is not chemical medicine, it is made from natural materials only such as parts of plants, roots, leaves and bark, and fruits… So it is like predominantly herbal medicine “Kanpoo” in Japan. But in generally, jamu is made at home and taken in Indonesian daily life. In many large cities, jamu herbal medicine is sold on the street by hawkers carry a refreshing drink, usually bitter but sweetened with honey. Herbal medicine is also produced in factories by large companies and sold at various drug stores in sachet packaging, tablets, caplets and capsules. The origin of Jamu is said to be more than a thousand years ago from now. In Borobudur Buddhist monument that has also become a world heritage in Central Java Indonesia island, there ,scenes that are formulated Jumu are drawn as a relief.

I think Jamu is already similar to Japanese people who stay for a long in Indonesia. I checked at my home what kind of Jamu I have for now and there were three types of Jamu I found like in the pictures. Jamu juice for fatigue, Jamu oil which directly rub the body, sachet for supplementation ions into the body. Jamu has already become familiar with our daily life here.

Since 1988, the campaign of return to nature has been proposed by the Ministry of Health in Indonesia from the review of the drug, and effective scientific research on medicine efficacy and promote use of traditional treatment Jamu has been started.

I’d like to introduce a luxury resort "SEMARA Uluwatu Cliff Edge Villa", located in Uluwatu. A number of Japanese guests are still small, so it is a still hidden place for us. The resort itself is great, of course but I’d like to focus SEMARA private beach for this time!

Even it is a private beach resort, but they are also welcome outsiders. First, you can pay the entrance fee at the reception. This fee includes food and beverages at the beach club restaurant. As the name of the hotel, SEMARA is stands on the edge of a cliff so they take you to the beach club by a cable car. When you arrive at the beach club, they will show your image of tropical island! Blue clear waters and white sand! The beach club restaurant “Finn's” looks simple and lovely but it also shows you luxury as a resort. Enjoying their food, beach, get suntan… Yes, this is an image of tropical island!

先月8月29日、この楽園の島の隅々があらゆる種の装飾で彩られた。家々の軒先にはフルーツ、ココナッツの葉、花でデコレーションされた"ペンジョール"と呼ばれる背の高い竹の棒が、家の入り口の右側に飾られた。そしてそれぞれの玄関先には、祭日用に小さな竹の祭壇が置かれ、霊に贈るヤシの葉の供物も用意されていた。これはバリヒンドゥの祭日、ガルンガンを意味するものだ！

ガルンガンはバリヒンズー教徒にとって、宇宙の創造者、先祖の霊を称えるための最も重要な祭典である。これは、悪（Adharma）に対する善の勝利（Dharma）を象徴し、クリエータと列聖された先祖への感謝の意を示すための祭典である。

ガルンガン当日は、バリの信者は寺院へお参りに行き、霊に供え物を贈る。男性はヤシの葉を用意し、女性は頭の上に供物のせて運ぶ姿が見られる。
ガルンガンはバリ暦の210日周期で巡ってくる。このタイミングで先祖の霊が地球を訪れていると考えられている。バリヒンズー教徒はこの、帰って来る霊を歓迎し、楽しませると考えガルンガンの儀式を行っている。
Last month, on August 29th, every corners of this Paradise Island was joylly enbeauty with any kind of decorations. Most of the houses sprouted tall bamboo poles called "Penjor" decorated with fruit, coconut leaves, and flowers, and set up on the right of every residence entrance. At each gate, there's also small bamboo altars set up especially for the holiday, each one bearing woven palm-leaf offerings for the spirits. Indeed, it was Galungan Day!

Galungan is the most important feast for Balinese Hindus, a celebration to honor the creator of the universe (Ida Sang Hyang Widi) and the spirits of the honored ancestors.
The festival symbolizes the victory of good (Dharma) over evil (Adharma), and encourages the Balinese to show their gratitude to the creator and sainted ancestors.

On Galungan day, Balinese devotees pray at the temples and make their offerings to the spirits. Women are seen carrying the offerings on their heads, while men bring palm fronds.

Galungan occurs once in the 210-day cycle of the Balinese calendar, and marks the time of the year when the spirits of the ancestors are believed to visit the earth. Balinese Hindus perform rituals that are meant to welcome and entertain these returning spirits.
