While sitting outside at a restaurant at lunch today with my co-workers, an older gentleman, apparently a Masaii traditional healer/shaman approached our table and with a bag over his shoulder and a wooden staff. He started to explain his profession, and showed us a piece of paper with various medicines and their prices. After some discussion, he claimed that he had identified a couple of health issues that I had, and then offered to prepare the necessary treatments from the bag he was carrying. But before this could happen, he asked that our one co-workers who is a woman, to leave the table, because he could not discuss one of my apparent problems in front of her. After some discussion, Eva graciously left the table, and the healer then pulled out a couple of different powders, which looked a lot like sawdust to me, and mixed them in a small plastic bag. After spitting on the bag, he then handed it to me, and said the dispensing fee would be 3000 Tanzanian shillings (about 2.50 US). I did not actually buy the product, in case you are wondering.
