Your guide will help explain the usage of the ingredients. The street is also home to shops sell ing other goods such as famous tea leaf salad, thanaka- the yellow paste worn by many Burmese- and an array of religious items.

The U Shein clinic is well regarded both in Myanmar and abroad for the usage of gold ash powder combined with local herbs to cure diseases. They use a metal object to detect problems in the patient then concocts a mixture of gold ash and other ingredients for an individual remedy. This method will be explained and provide background on this work and herbal medicines in Myanmar.

The Sayagyi U Nyan clinic is renowned for their holistic diagnostic method and healing with herbs.
