Below are some folk remedies compiled from years of experience that are easy to implement and extremely effective. You can refer to and apply them when needed. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms, please see a doctor for timely advice and treatment.
1. Treat burns
Children are often mischievous and easily get burned. In this case, immediately take some purslane (Portulaca oleracea) leaves, crush them, and apply them to the burn. The burn will quickly stop stinging and heal.
2. Treating fever
Take a handful of mung beans and rice and cook them into porridge. When the porridge is cooked, take a handful of perilla leaves and small mulberry leaves, wash them thoroughly, and shake off the excess water. Then, finely chop the mulberry and perilla leaves and add them to the porridge. Continue simmering over low heat for about 5 to 10 minutes. At this point, scoop it into a bowl and feed it to the child. This is a very effective folk remedy for treating fever in children.
3. Treating conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Dissolve 1 tablespoon of powdered salt (irrigated salt without iodine) in 1 liter of cooled boiled water, and store in a clean bottle for later use. Every day, especially upon waking, use a clean cotton ball soaked in the salt water to wipe your eyes 4-5 times to clean them. Blink your eyes to allow the salt water to penetrate and dissolve any tiny particles that may be causing irritation.
4. Treat mumps with garlic and vinegar
A very simple topical remedy for mumps is to crush garlic and mix it with vinegar. Garlic and vinegar contain natural antibiotics that are very potent against swelling and immediately relieve pain.
However, you shouldn't use this method too often because the antibiotics and acids in vinegar can cause burning and irritation on your face and affect your skin to some extent. Besides directly treating the swollen and painful area, you should also eat foods that actively support the treatment, such as white cabbage, mint, bitter melon, etc.
5. Remedies to eliminate kidney stones
To treat urinary stones, you can take one peeled pineapple, make a hole in it, and put a small amount of alum (0.3g) inside. Then, add water, cover, and simmer for 3 hours. After that, eat the pineapple pieces and drink the liquid. Use this continuously for 7 days, and many cases have shown good results.
6. Extremely fast blood purification
This great tip comes from the Russians: they put a medium-sized cup of sunflower seeds into 500ml of boiling water, cover, and let it steep for 2 hours. Drink the water and eat the seeds as well. For best results, drink the resulting liquid every morning on an empty stomach. Continue this daily for 3 weeks to cleanse your blood.
7. How to treat stomach pain
You can roast the winged bean seeds with a little salt until golden brown and fragrant (avoid burning them). Then, grind the roasted seeds into a fine powder.
Every morning, right after waking up, eat about 3 teaspoons of winged bean powder, remembering to swallow slowly. You can sip a few mouthfuls of warm water to make it easier to swallow.
8. Treatment for spinal spurs
Prepare 30-50g of fresh Piper betel leaves or use about 5-7 dried Piper betel leaves, then boil them to make a decoction. Drink 2-3 times a day for 10-14 days to quickly reduce symptoms. Combining this with a proper diet and rest will help treat the disease more effectively.
Alternatively, you can combine this with washing about 700g of betel leaves, placing them in a cloth, and heating it over a fire until it reaches a certain temperature. Then, remove the cloth and apply it to the painful area. Doing this 2-3 times a week will help reduce pain quickly.

You can treat this at home by taking three handfuls of rice and roasting them until slightly burnt; then, roast a ginger root, crush it, and add water to the burnt rice. After boiling for a while, strain the liquid and drink it.
