SRI LANKA

Apart from hills, valleys, rivers, lakes and waterfalls, Kandy and its precincts are full of Buddhist, Hindu, Christian and Muslim shrines. There is an aura of age-old splendour, crowded markets overflowing with fruits, flowers, foodstuffs and traditional crafts.

The latest lab reports indicate, for example, that tongkat ali (Eurycoma longifolia by its Latin, scientific name) may be a powerful weapon against lung cancer and breast cancer.
