**Translation:** **Netizen (Username: Mingxin, QQ: 848229064):** Teacher Hu, I’d like to share a folk remedy for toothache: Take an appropriate amount of onion seeds, heat them in a flat pan, then place them in a small wine cup. Take a piece of dough about the size of an ear, stick it to the ear, and place the wine cup on top of the dough. The dough acts as insulation, allowing the heat to penetrate the ear. Sometimes, small, hard worms may crawl out of the tooth, and the toothache will disappear. Many people in our village have tried this method. I’m sharing this in hopes of helping those suffering from toothache! **Disclaimer:** This article was first published by Hu Bing’s...

A kind-hearted netizen (Username: Drifting Fish, QQ: 645675145) shared a remedy: Hello, Teacher Hu! I’ve noticed that your space is filled with life-saving folk remedies and secret formulas—truly a noble endeavor! I’d also like to contribute a remedy for treating gastric mucosal prolapse: Take Yunnan Baiyao powder orally (the original powder in the small bottle typically used for treating external injuries, which used to cost 10 yuan per bottle). Take half a bottle cap’s worth three times a day, mixed with hot water. Generally, effects can be seen by the fourth day. If you need to take cold medicines containing anesthetics (like Gan Kang) or other herbal decoctions during this period, you should pause the Yunnan Baiyao treatment. This remedy...
Warm-hearted netizen (Username: Ling, QQ: 1007308780) shares a remedy: Dear Teacher Hu, I am providing a second remedy, specifically for chronic pyelonephritis [which is proteinuria]. This is something my mother personally tried and found very effective. The recipe is as follows: 15 grams of Cistanche deserticola, 15 grams of Eucommia bark, and one pig kidney [cut in half, with the white fascia removed], add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, place all ingredients in a bowl, add half a bowl of water, and steam over water for exactly twenty minutes. Each dose should be steamed twice. Eat the kidney and drink the soup; for the second steaming, consume the Cistanche deserticola residue as well. Generally, three to five doses will...
A kind-hearted netizen (username: Snow Fox, QQ: 307479047) shared a remedy: Hello, Teacher Hu, I have copied a few folk remedies from your site, and they have worked very well in treating my family members. Today, I specifically added you to share a remedy that my mother used, which was very effective. My mother had a benign brain tumor, but it was quite large. We consulted doctors at Huashan Hospital in Shanghai, who said the success rate of surgery was less than 50%. Even if she survived the operation, she would likely be bedridden and dependent on medication for the rest of her life, which might only last one to two years. However, after using this traditional Chinese medicine to...
A warm-hearted netizen (Username: Huijun, QQ: 2654547311) shares a remedy: Hello, Teacher Hu, have you ever heard that magnets can relieve pain? When I was a child, my finger was slightly scalded by steam from a pot. Although it wasn’t severe, the pain persisted. Later, I held a magnet the size of a shirt button on my finger for over half an hour, and the pain subsided! If the duration is too short, it only provides temporary relief, so it’s essential to keep it on for at least half an hour. Since then, whenever I feel pain anywhere, I apply a magnet to the area, and it works remarkably well. It should also be effective for rheumatic joint pain, but...
Enthusiastic Netizen (Username: Phoenix Soaring, QQ: 2621657728): Hello, Teacher Hu Bing, I have a folk remedy for heel pain. I suffered from heel pain for half a year, which made it difficult for me to move around. I don’t like taking medicine or getting injections. As a small-time doctor, I cured my heel pain using moxibustion, and now I’d like to share this method with everyone. The usage is as follows: apply moxibustion directly to the painful area. First, shape mugwort leaves into cone-shaped moxa rolls. Place a slice of garlic, about one centimeter thick, on the painful area, then place an appropriately sized moxa roll on top. Use five to seven moxa rolls per session, and continue until the...
**Enthusiastic Netizen (Username: Xinxin Ruyi, QQ: 57816036):** Hello, Teacher Hu, I would like to share a remedy for treating otitis media. This method is safe even for children, including infants as young as a few months old! My daughter had otitis media when she was just a few months old, and this method cured her. She is now nine years old and has never had a recurrence! The remedy was shared with me by a doctor who is close friends with my daughter’s aunt. The method involves cleaning the ear with hydrogen peroxide using a cotton swab, then applying one or two drops of chloramphenicol injection. After just two applications, the condition was resolved, and there has been no recurrence...
Dear Netizen (Username: Huitongdaxingyi Hui, QQ: 1378033183), Hello, I used to suffer from frequent otitis media (ear infections) as a child. Someone recommended a remedy: dry and grind *Eupolyphaga sinensis* (a type of ground beetle) into powder, mix it with sesame oil, and apply it into the ear. It worked very well, and I hope it can help others too. This is a traditional remedy passed down from Beijing. At the time, my otitis media was particularly severe, and medication didn’t help. After trying this remedy a few times, it completely cured me! I often enjoy browsing your space, which is full of healing remedies. Your compassionate efforts to help others will surely bring you good karma! Contributor: Teacher Gao...
Dear Teacher Hu, I am a concerned netizen (username: Sunshine Girl, QQ: 652439277). I would like to share with you a prescription for treating irregular menstruation, which was prescribed by a hospital doctor. My menstrual cycle has often been irregular, sometimes lasting for three months, and at its longest, I took medication for a year. The prescription is as follows: Progesterone Soft Capsules and Nuangong Qiwei Powder. The Nuangong Qiwei Powder is quite unpleasant to take, with a very strong medicinal smell. The Progesterone Soft Capsules should be taken until menstruation begins. At that time, the doctor advised me to take them for a week, assuring me that menstruation would start within that week, and if it didn’t, it would...
