Consulting Traditional Medicine Practitioners
The picture above shows a typical Chinese Herb shop, where often they also have a practitioner to consult as well, or at least they will know who to see.
The medical system in many Third world countries can be pretty awful, and outside of capital cities can be all but non-existent.
In such circumstances you may need to find a Chinese herbalist or other traditional practitioner. The trick of course is how to find a good one.
There is often a Chinese Medical association and they can point you to the best practitioners.
Local pharmacists may know of someone with a good reputation.
You can ask around to the locals and soon get pointers on who has a good reputation.
In cities and towns jump on the net and see if there are listings for your town, often though in the Third World there will be nothing of help on the net.
In places like Indonesia you can often find herbal practitioners selling herbs at markets (in Indonesia it is called Djamu) and they may know of someone to see (or it may be them to see).
Many herbs (Jamu) are pre-packaged now in Indonesia, use your own judgment in using them.
In Africa likewise at markets there may be information.
Remember you can ask several people and get a bigger picture of who seems reliable.
Sometimes you just have to take a chance though in some places and see someone.
