My Chinese Medicine Adventure
In 2024 I decided to explore the world of Chinese Medicine. Chiang Mai has many herbal shops and small dispensaries, their shelves filled with roots, leaves, and dried fruits, each carrying centuries of healing tradition. Among them I found one place with a resident doctor, someone trained to read the body’s balance of Yin and Yang, the flow of Qi, and the harmony of the organs.
My sessions there were a mix of consultation, herbal prescriptions, and quiet reflection. The doctor spoke not only of symptoms but of balance, how stress can disturb the Liver, or how weak digestion signals an Earth element in need of support.
Looking back, I feel it was a worthwhile experience. It gave me not only remedies but also a different perspective: that health is less about fighting illness and more about restoring harmony.
The images below capture moments from this journey, the herbs, the treatments, and a glimpse into an ancient system of care that is still alive in Chiang Mai today.
