[steepshot] Medicine oil in East and Southeast Asia 藥油

(original photo)

Different kind of medicine oil for various use. For cuts, for swelling etc. Strange smell but somehow it is healing. Found the one I have at home. I couldn't stand with this when I was small. The smell was not good and the color was weird. Till once I was bitten by insect. It was swelling and painful. My parents told me to apply a drop of "Curcuma Zedoaria Oil". It worked. I was a bit impressed.

找到家裡有的，可樂的品牌比較多還是活絡油的比較多。小時候十分受不了這些不明所以的東西，味道不太好，又黃黃綠綠紅紅的。但後來，有一次被不知名的蟲咬到，家人說塗莪術油可以治「無名朣毒」，果真不痛又慢慢消紅朣了。慢慢也接受了這種藥油。當然它不是萬能的，不過普通蚊釘蟲咬塗一塗也OK吧。
