Ancient therapy sees patients lie enveloped in a whole body wrap of chopped rainforest herbs cooked with water, alcohol
A healing practice used by China’s Dai ethnic group, which involves patients sleeping in beds of stir-fried herbs that cover their entire bodies, has become a wellness sensation.
So-called Herbal Sleep Therapy aims to boost blood circulation and alleviate a series of ailments.
Not only is it gaining popularity among the ethnic group, it is also becoming a favourite among tourists visiting China’s southwestern Yunnan province.
Its origins can be traced back to the Dai people’s early efforts to combat rheumatism.
