Whenever suffering from scalds or burns, absolutely do not use cold water, cold objects, or cold mud. This is because when heat encounters coldness, it retreats and penetrates deeply, becoming trapped in the sinews and bones. Exercise extreme caution.
First, apply a mixture of salt water and rice vinegar to the wound. Then, cover it with mud mixed with vinegar, and continue applying vinegar incessantly to temporarily relieve pain. Simultaneously, hastily crush fresh Radix Rehmanniae Preparata (Sheng Dihuang, 生地黄), mix it with vinegar, and apply it to the wound until the pain ceases. Even if the ulceration is deep, reaching several inches, it does not matter.
One method for treating scalds and burns where the skin is broken, causing toxic sores and pain; all three of the following formulas are effective.
Formula One: Use powder of Radix et Rhizoma Rhei (Dahuang, 大黄), mix with honey, and apply. It heals immediately.
Formula Two: Use egg white, grind Jingmo (Beijing Ink Stick, 京墨) into it, and apply. Cover the area with three layers of wet paper.
Formula Three: Use raw wheat flour as powder, mix with sesame oil, and sweep/apply onto the broken sore. Apply at any time.
One method for treating scalds and burns: Take pig bristles from a scrubbing brush, regardless of quantity, dry them by roasting, burn them to ash while preserving their medicinal nature, grind into fine powder, mix with pure sesame oil, and apply thickly around the perimeter of the affected area according to its size, leaving one hole in the center. Change once daily, slowly enclosing the wound. If applied too rapidly without leaving an opening, it will lead to suppuration and scarring.
