Indigestion is a pretty broad label. Basically, it’s any feeling of discomfort after eating. Sometimes it’s heartburn, other times it can be stomach ache. It really sucks to get indigestion.

Holy awesome!

Derek Kesek, owner of Hempearth, says the plane will be constructed from at least 75% hemp, which includes the wings, seats, pillows, and outer shell. The plane will be the color of natural hemp fiber too, and will in all likeliness run on hemp biofuel...

Fungi have a lot of different uses for humanity. They can clean up the soil and oceans, act as building materials, and you can even be buried in a suit of fungi to break down your body after you die. Creepy!

According to the Cornell University mycology blog:

The key pharmaceutically-active compound found in Fomitopsis officinalis is Agaricin (or agaric acid), a white, water-soluble powder that can be administered both orally and topically. Agaricin is an anhidrotic, anti-inflammatory, and parasympatholytic agent, and is now produced synthetically by many pharmaceutical companies.
