Above all, Thai Herbal Medicine is about people, and how people heal people by knowing who they are, what they do and how they live. The most important step in this healing process is difficult to photograph or catalogue, because it is about just being there -- in oneself, in relation to the patient, and in relation to the environment where the healer, the patient and the plant all live. It is this that Homprang and her family can show you at Baan Hom Samunphrai, but you have to be quiet and observant. If you ask the wrong question, or at the wrong moment, or because you think you already know the answer, you're unlikely to get much. It's slow, and sometimes very curious, but it's there.
