Here are a few more photos from the Muti shop we visited earlier this week. I wonder what's in the jars?
Muti has occasionally received negative press for allegations of a darker side. There have been cases in recent years where people - particularly children and albinos - have been supposedly killed for their body parts, which some believe will bestow power and success. While I'll admit the shop had a completely different vibe from the Walgreens or Boots pharmacies I'm more familiar with, from what little I saw, muti seems to be more about dried roots and impala horns than anything more sinister.
Yeah, unless your're an impala . . .
ReplyDeleteInteresting, yes. But I'd much rather make a stop at the ice cream shop.
ReplyDeleteIn some places there would be cries for government regulation of this industry to limit abuses.
ReplyDeleteI suspect that it might have an atmosphere that is a tonic to the senses, Susie. It certainly is a feast for the eyes.
