...symptoms on my chart?fatigue, irritability and the occasional blinding migraine?and scribbled a prescription. "Don't worry, we can help you."

For 40 min. two barefoot attendants poured a pungent green oil over my brow in a gentle back and forth motion. It might sound like slow torture, but the shirodhara oil treatment is deeply relaxing and said to cure migraines. It's one of the more common prescriptions in the Ayurvedic school of medicine, which...
...Westerfield had immediately drawn the suspicion of investigators. Julie Mills, who works at his dry cleaner, says that while Westerfield was normally well dressed and smiling, he came in barefoot and long faced one day shortly after Danielle went missing.

His nine children dress in rags, and his own flowing salwar kameez is so threadbare it has split at both elbows. He stands barefoot in his freshly plowed field with a football-sized lump of opium seeds gathered into the front of his garment. With flicks of his right hand, he scatters the seeds across the clumped earth. "I decided to plant poppies as soon as the Taliban left," he explains. After...
