anymore???? quite a common term used by all the grandmas....anything also moh tan wonder if that's the only thing they know how to treat.....?

I once watched a show which showed the hard-boiled egg method to be untrue. I'm not sure why.... cannot remember, but maybe it's got something to do with the heat the body produces.

My own experience was when I was a kid...I was having frequent tummy aches as there was too much "wind" inside my stomac...
My grandparents put a ten cent coin into a cooked egg and wrapped the egg in a handkerchief...which they then proceeded to rub around my stomach...after that the ten cent coin turned black....which they said was because the egg drew the "wind" out and transferred it to the coin.... -
huh??? u still have the ten cent coin with you?
-
Don have liao bro...that was years ago ...Originally posted by NeonTetra:huh??? u still have the ten cent coin with you? -

My mother and grandmother always used that on me when I had a fever when I was a small boy... dunno if it worked though... but it was some kind of a dough made from egg white and flour. Fun thou...

My grandma tell me that put 1 drop of medicated oil, those axe brand kind one, drop it directly onto ur throat when u having a cough, will cure. I tried it once, it works then but i suspect it doesnt always everytime, better see doctor.
