Whatever works
Young people are not supposed to develop debilitating arthritic symptoms in the prime of life - not at age 17. That's why Yeshi Wangchuk's parents were worried. His condition crept up slowly but became severe in April, threatening to immobilize him.
"I couldn't do housework or sports," he said. After six days of lum bathing, he's encouraged.
"I feel I have gotten much better," he said, expressing hope that a few more treatments will bring him back to normal.
For him, that will be all the proof he needs.
