MS.Huang,a Chongqing local,felt an unexpected chill one summer morning.“I[instinctively]knew I was going to catch a cold,”she said.Her response was to make an appointment at a health spa called Treasure without Borders for a Tibetan medicinal bath.Huang and her 16-year-old daughter are both regulars at the spa.She believes that many ailments can be eased through the healing properties of a medicinal bath.Tibetan medicine has been passed down on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for more than 2,000 years.As a traditional therapy of Tibetan medicine,the medicinal bathing was officially inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2018.Nowadays,Tibetan medicine is attracting increasingly higher world attention thanks to its profound cultural heritage and unique healing effects.It has truly gone beyond the plateau to treat patients all over the globe.
