We have now made it to Chiang Mai University located in beautiful northern Thailand!! Other than enjoying some amazing khao soi (a traditional northern dish) we have been busy learning about alternative medicine. The people of Thailand truly believe in incorporating western medicine with traditional Thai medicine. On Monday, we had a lecture on traditional Thai medicine in the morning and then followed by a lab session in the afternoon, where we made our very own lanna herbal massage ball. They consist of dried up herbs ranging from lemongrass to tumeric. These massage balls once put together are steamed and applied to parts of the body to help with muscle pain.
