A medicine man in the market in Malbaza. I was there visiting a new volunteer, Jen, during her first month in the bush. All of the bark and herbs are to be steeped in water and drank or made into a paste and used topically. Studies done on some of these herbs show them to be very effective in some cases. However, I often encourage villagers to seek treatment from a health professional as well.
