Hands and feet don't fear the cold, and home remedies work wonders!

Hands and Feet Not Afraid of Frostbite, Folk Remedies Work Wonders! Enthusiastic Netizen (Username: Cihang, QQ: 1129036939): Hello, Teacher Hu Bing, I see many people sharing remedies, so I’d like to contribute one as well. For treating frostbitten hands (the kind that haven’t cracked yet): Take a handful of frost-touched wheat seedlings and mulberry leaves, boil them in water, and steam your hands over the hot water. Once the water cools to a bearable temperature, soak your hands for about ten minutes. Do this once or twice a day, and in a few days, it should heal. Make sure to keep your hands warm during this period. I’ve personally tried this—my hands were swollen and blue from frostbite when I was in school, but after using this remedy, I haven’t had a recurrence in over twenty years. Another remedy for chilblains: Boil water with pepper branches (if you don’t have pepper, it’s fine) and soak your feet in it. Gradually increase the water temperature, and you can use a full thermos of water in one night. For better results, apply chilblain ointment after soaking. I hope this helps everyone.
