Shingles and burns, no need for dialectical ancestral remedies!

**Shingles and Burns: A Time-Honored Family Remedy Without the Need for Diagnosis!** A kind-hearted netizen (Proud Bone Woman 413173696): I’d like to share a folk remedy for treating burns and shingles. Take a small bottle and put in two or three clean, live earthworms, along with an appropriate amount of sugar and sesame oil. After some time, the earthworms will dissolve into small segments, and the resulting liquid can be stored for future use. When I was in Jinan, a child in our neighborhood got burned, and since I didn’t have this remedy at the time, we had to take them to the provincial hospital for emergency treatment. After returning, I immediately prepared the remedy. A few days later, a boy in the neighborhood was scalded by a pot of boiling water, and his injury was more severe than the first child’s. Using this remedy, he healed faster and without scarring. The effect is remarkable—applying it on the first day significantly reduces pain by the next day. This is a family remedy passed down through generations. My grandfather taught it to my father, who has treated over a hundred people with it. The sugar dissolves the earthworms into liquid, though I’m not entirely sure about the exact proportions. However, it’s definitely just these three ingredients. Once sealed, the mixture turns into a liquid and is ready for use. During a holiday, my parents were burned by hot oil, and after applying this remedy, their hands healed without any scars. The remedy can be stored for about a year and a half. Every summer, my father prepares and stores some of it. This remedy also works wonders for shingles (known as "waist-dragon" in Chinese). Several severe cases, where the rash had nearly covered the waist, causing intense pain and itching, were treated with this remedy. After spending 20,000 yuan at the hospital without improvement, they sought out my father. He applied the remedy at night, and by the next day, the blisters had completely flattened. As a journalist, I don’t exaggerate or lie. I hope sharing this remedy will benefit more patients. Contributor: Teacher Huang
