Yun Nan Bai Yao --- Must buy only $4.50 at medical Hall.

I will touch on the usefulness of certain Chinese herbs suitable for home use during this Saturday class.

Yun Nan Bai Yao is a must have in every household.

Its functions: Arresting bleeding to cure wound, removing blood stasis to regenerate new tissue, clearing away toxic materials to relieve swelling, promoting blood circulation to alleviate pain.

History lesson learnt from Granny: The inventor was a Chinese man from Yunana Province. In 1902, he formulated "Qu Huanzhang Panacea" which became Yunnan Baiyao ("White medicine from Yunnan"). In the massive Taierzhuang Battle of 1938 (between Chinese and Japanese forces), Mr. Qu Huanzhang donated more than 30,000 bottles of Yunnan Baiyao to the army, thereby saving the lives of many soldiers. It was during the Vietnam war that China supply Vietnam with this powder, which saved many from injury. It heals wound so effectively and the secret recipe was not reveal during the communist time.

Bryan's East meet West usages:

During my army days, mum will remind me to bring a bottle to camp. I remembered there was once where I had a burnt. I washed my wound with wet cotton, drip one drop of Tea Tree oil and quickly apply this powder on the wound. It heals fast and powerful.

Get a bottle to keep at home or bring it to overseas. It is super useful and better than many antiseptic creams in pharmacy. A powder that was tested during War times.

Remember watching Chinese Kung Fu movies where the actors/actresses suffered some cuts or burn and they apply certain powder onto their wound? This is the one lah. You can buy a cute chinese bottle and put in it. Imagine you are the 侠士 :P
