TCM health question and seeking a complete answer (Why/How?)?
Someone told me that eating carp, shrimp, rooster (but not hen), fruits and tofu would produce an infection from inflamation dealing with cuts, bruses, sprains, internal bleeding, etc. and I am asking for a complete explanation (if any) as to how that works.
Answers:
I am NOT a TCM practitioner, but I have done accupuncture on myself to a limited extent.
If you live in the U.S. there are two herbs you need to get to know.
1. Plantain: The latin name is plantago major. pull a leaf and chew it (to break the cell walls) and apply over the skin injury as a poultice. This is very healing, and has a high content of natural sulphur that will kill the bad viruses and bacteria on the skin and prevent an infection.
Comfrey. Grind the leaves with a mortar and pestle to break it down (Comfrey is not safe to take internaly) and apply the poultice over the bruise.
How do you know you have internal bleeding.
