Enthusiastic Netizen (Username: Grain of Sand in the Clam, QQ: 453951947): Hello, Teacher Hu. I have a folk remedy that my mother-in-law told me, which she said was passed down from her mother-in-law. The method involves cleaning and drying the shells of river clams, then burning them over a low flame until they are thoroughly charred. The resulting ash is then ground into a fine powder and stored in a glass bottle. This powder is said to be very effective for treating small cuts and abrasions, as it helps stop bleeding. My mother-in-law mentioned that when she was young and had an inflamed appendectomy wound, applying this powder for a few days healed it completely. She also shared that it worked well for others who had infections from cesarean section wounds. My mother-in-law keeps a bottle at home, and we use it whenever we accidentally get cut. We call it “wound medicine.” I am now fifty years old, and since I see you often sharing folk remedies, I thought I would tell you about this one. I also want to thank you for being such a kind person, Teacher Hu. You can research this remedy, and whether you publish it or not is up to you. I just wanted you to know that such things can also be useful.
