Chinatown Journey
On the advice of my acupuncturist, I went to Kamwo Herbal Pharmacy at 211 Grand Street in Chinatown, near the corner of Mott. I bought moxa for moxibustion. The moxa I bought is little cigarette-butt looking pieces of ground mugwort and other herbs that are adhered to the body and burnt to stimulate the nervous system. It comes in a box with a picture of a happy lady riding a turtle. When I left Kamwo, I noticed that it was cater-corner to Di Palos, the touristy Little Italy provisions shop that is making a comeback these days. They have really tasty food but you have to wait in this ungodly line full of people from who knows...
