In Ladakh, a country in the heart of the
Himalayan range, traditional tibetan
medicine men use cristal stones to
heal their patients. The medicinal
stones can be worn as jewellery or
prepared as drugs to be ingested but
this practice is considered dangerous
because cristal could be toxic unless it
is crushed with yak milk on the full
moon day of the 8th lunar month.
At the time of collecting medinal plants,
Tsering Amchi, medicine man in Leh
Ladakh, organizes a nine-day trek
through high mountains to find a
medicinal cristal stone vein. It is a
tough trek, crossing fierce streams and
climbing through passes at an altitude
of 5000 meters. It is the story of a man
searching for a secret knowledge of
the art of healing in a magnificent
wilderness.
The quest of medicinal cristal stone.
