Journey of the Ancient Medicine

East Asia is a place where cutting-edge technology is always pushing the envelope of human achievement. But move away from the region’s metropolises, and you may find millions of people who still rely on ancient ways to feed themselves, build their homes, and heal loved ones. This thoughtful documentary series takes the viewer to three iconic regions (Tibet, Southern China and Mongolia), to see how traditional medicine is still practiced by indigenous peoples, methods that provide a lifeline to those who have no other access to medical care.
