| les with healer wayan, featured prominently in the book "eat, pray, love" she was getting her sore throat treated: unfortunately it got much worse later and she was in bed for 5 days with tonsilitis. only an antibiotic would work then. :( |
young wayan, one of wayan's assistants. everyone has some variation of the same 6 or so names in bali! |
attempt #2 for natural remedies: lesley's session with famous traditional Balian healer |
hate to say it but he didn't catch the tonsilitis either |
|
|
|
|
| but he did have some major foot mojo skills |
lynne: with healing plant spit-spray for HER sore throat. she was the first to fall sick. |
and of course this healer is a great painter too: everyone can paint, play music, dance, and make art in bali. |
