Combat Postpartum Ailments with a Simple Remedy to Alleviate Pain! Dear Teacher Hu, I am an enthusiastic netizen (username: “Faint Floral Scent,” QQ: 2602234842). I have taken many folk remedies from your platform, some for my loved ones. While expressing my gratitude, I would like to share a remedy that treats lingering ailments caused by cold exposure during the postpartum period. **Ingredients**: – Seven small hot chili peppers (朝天椒) – Half a pound of ginger – A handful of mugwort leaves (艾叶) **Instructions**: 1. Chop the ginger and mugwort leaves, then combine them with the chili peppers in a pot. 2. Add an appropriate amount of water and bring to a boil. 3. Let it boil, then turn off the heat. Repeat this process three times (boil, turn off, and boil again). 4. Use the water to wash the affected area. One course of treatment lasts seven days. **Personal Experience**: I suffered from cold exposure, and every autumn, I couldn’t even open the window at night for fear of the chilly wind. The cold would make me shiver from head to toe, with a deep, internal chill. I used this remedy to wash my shoulders for 14 days, and since 2008, I haven’t experienced a recurrence. This is my personal testimony, and I hope more people can benefit from it. This remedy was shared with me by a friend whose daughter worked in Chongqing. Her daughter developed leg pain due to cold exposure during her postpartum period. An elderly person in Chongqing recommended this remedy, and it worked for her daughter. It also worked for me. After using it for a month, I haven’t had any issues for several years. **Contributor**: Teacher Lu
