Hi,
I am doing a paper on medicine in thailand and was wondering if you could help. A friend of mine who grew up in thailand said that you used a bark tea for headaches I was wondering if anyone knows the name of the bark used. I also would like to know the remedies for a cold and stomach upset. Thank you for your time
Thanks
