Miraculous Chinese Remedy for Discolouring Contusion

Very accident-vulnerable, I got injured again with a sudden attacked by a mini-football in my attempt to get my primary students to come for their lesson. But, thanks to my very nice Chinese doctor, the nasty bruise vanished in just two days.

Question: What did I apply onto it?

Obvious answer: Plaster.
Hint: Something edible.
Innovative answer: Chocolate, oreo cookies.

Correct answer: Chinese Dried Mushroom


1. Soaked a very dry mushroom in an ultra-dry bowl filled with Chinese white rice wine (dryness is required for anti-rheumatism).
2. Apply the dampened mushroom on the wound and bandage.
3. Change a mushroom daily till the wound recovers.

Extra advice: Don’t use mushroom that is just big enough to cover the bruise (unless you would like to leave a ring mark behind). The bigger the better!
