3. Undisciplined Pleasures: Queen Bilqis of Ethiopia and Yemen (Frankincense) by Sarah Khan Image: Within the harem, Queen Bilqis, descended of East Africans and Arabs, receives a medicated massage. Tashu, the medicinal healer is versed in their East African and the local curative traditions of Unani, Siddha, and Ayurveda. Laden with therapeutic extracts from the natural world, the paste soothes. Restorative emollients seep into tired feet. In deep rest and play, Bilqis reignites her powers.
