Wales’s Trade in Leeches and Maggots

Wales medicine is wonderful and can make you feel like you're visiting Tolkien's Middle Earth, because of the appreciation of folk remedies, herbal treatments, fungi supplements, and more. Healers can recommend tonics, tinctures, barefoot walking in the woods, cold river plunges, and hot water bottles.

It turns out that many of the Wales natural approaches do align with westernized medical research, and often are available at a fraction of the price of westernized treatment.

North Wales, perhaps. Snowdonia is beautiful, but have you ever been to Cardiff on a Saturday night?

A little like Mordor?

What? I don't know where you ended up in Wales, but I live in a regular, city-like part of Wales and I can tell you that the healthcare is awful.

I've experienced Wales healthcare in the west, in Sir Gaerfyrddin, Aberteifi, Aberaeron, Aberystwyth, Eryri. Good luck today at the World Cup! :-)
