being treated by a medicineman
14.05.2007
Well it has been awhile since my last entry, mainly because i have been out of comission so to speak. I spent a lot of time in bed over the past few days, either there or extracting liquid from my body in the most inconvinient ways! In anycase, it all amounted to yet another interesting and educational experience with our friend Don Candido. I went to see Senor Candido on Saturday about my ailments. After the usual gleeful greeting, he took me into the back of his examination room where i experienced indigenous bribri diagnotic techniques. Let's just say it involves pressure points and if you think you have felt the pain of squeezing on those pressure points oooh times that by 5 and you'd have some idea of what it feels like. In the end though it was all worth while as the plants Don Candido gave me to make some teas with seem to be working rather well, although one of them tastes butt awful! =Þ
