I know I've already mentioned some wonderful prescription burn cream in another post, but thought I'd mention this non prescription Chinese herbal cream too.
While I was away last week at a glass class, one of my friends, (who happens to be a MD), had some of this cream. She told me a story of how she had really burned herself badly, and a mutual friend had given her some of this and how quickly and well it worked.
So of course, with a name like Ching Wan Hung, I had to get a tube for myself, as she was selling some of her spare containers.
Today, I got to try it out. It was one of those times when you're not sure exactly what you did, but it wasn't a smart move. Somehow, I got a hot stringer jammed between my fingernail and my finger and it singed skin and nail and kind of left a bit of a brown hole. Yuck and ow!
After cooling the burn, (of course after I quickly finished my bead with my finger in my mouth) I opened up my fresh tube and punctured the top. It has a bit of an herbal odor that dissipated pretty quickly. I dabbed a small glob and got it under my nail, popped on a bandaid, and got back to work. A few hours later when I removed the bandaid, I noticed that it wasn't hurting any longer- just a bit tender. I like those kinds of results.
Their website says, "
This is one of China’s major herbal medicines for burns, so much so that it is used for serious third degree burns in hospitals. As a product, it is recommended as a topical first aid for first and second degree burns. It reduces the blistering and pain of a burn, promotes tissue regeneration, and prevents scarring. Burns should be covered to protect the ointment form being wiped off. For serious burns, the ointment is put on, covered with gauze, and then wiped off with dead skin every 24 hours until healing is complete. *
Now I'm not a MD, nor am I an expert, but I am someone who has seen my share of burns. It runs $2.50 for a small tube and that's my kind of pricing. You can get larger quantities of it also. Just wanted to share this nugget of good information. And of course my wish for you is that you never need to use it.
Hope you have a happy weekend and please stay safe.

I've heard of this cream and know people who swear by it. I keep wanting to order and don't get that done. Glad to hear that it helped you so very much.
ReplyDeleteHi Marcy,
ReplyDeleteOW!!!...What a horrible place to get a burn too. I'm so glad you got this cream (your weekend was educational on a few levels!) and sorry you had to use it so soon. It sounds amazing though. I think there's a lot to be said for eastern medicine in general. Stay safe.

OUCH! That sounds HORRIBLE!!! But what a great beadmaker to finish the bead before dealing with the burn. LOL! I will have to try some of this stuff. It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteOwie is right! I've heard the hiss of rapidly cooked skin this week, too, so you've got sympathy and empathy from me! Glad this stuff helped heal your owie!
ReplyDeleteLove your beads!!!!
