Traditional Chinese Medicine in Moxi
www.TravelsWithSheila.com After the visit with a Moxi local, our feet headed back down one of Moxi’s two remaining old blocks past a traditional Chinese doctor prescribing to his patient. Stopped to chat with him (via Mr. Wang and Dondup) and discovered he is 95 years old and still treating patients! His only physical complaint despite smoking cigarettes like a fiend is eyes (probably cataracts). He said “I can’t see that well”…no kidding…he is 95 and has no intention of retiring. When you’ve got the longevity gene, you’ve got the longevity gene no matter what you do! Doctor showed us his roots, herbs, other natural medicines and described what they are used for. Interesting and informative…

What a sweet old man, the Chinese Doctor! Is he really that old? He looked great, and such a nice happy smile., But I think I’ll stick with my Tylenol, haha.
