A' leighais le lusan ann an Bolivia. Healing with plants in Bolivia.

Buinidh Max Chura Mamani do na dotairean a bh' aig na rìghrean Incan a bha a ' riaghladh na h-Andes ro ceannsachadh na Spàinn. Tha an t-eòlas a th' aig Max air lusan leighis a' cur iongnadh air luchd-rannsachaidh bhon àird an iar. Tha an gàrradh aige cho fada suas ri trì mìle meatair ann an gleann Charazani ann am Bolivia, dachaigh na Kallawaya. An-diugh, tha e ag ionnsachadh na cumhachdan leighis do Johnny, an deisciobal as òige a th'aige. Còmhla, tha iad a' coiseachd bho bhaile gu baile airson cobhair a thoirt do dhaoine tinn.

Max Chura Mamani is a descendant of the doctors of the Incan kings who ruled the Andes prior to the Spanish conquest. Max's extended scientific knowledge of over 1,000 medicinal plants astonishes Western researchers. His garden lies at an altitude of 3,000 metres in the Bolivian valley of Charazani, the home of the Kallawaya. Today, he transmits his medicinal powers to Johnny, his young disciple. Together, they travel on foot from village to village to treat the ill.
