Heat stroke n Traditional medicine

Being consistent in exercise is good,i went to wet market to get fresh fruit n vegetable.i ran to 3 different medical hall to look for chinese medicine for open wounds .the Yunnan bai yiao is used by mom to treat infected wounds but now they dont sell in in cream form but powdered capsules or a spray.its better than antibiotic cream for ulcerated wounds i got while trying to open a rusty gate.i didnt want to get tetanus shot so im seeking TCM as the yunnan bai yiao was used by china soldiers to treat gunshot wounds. i had to think of alternative Ayurveda cure n bought neem oil which is anti bacterial at indian grocery shop.the blind chinese uncle thanked me for giving him pure neem extract to mix with tumeric n coconut oil for his shingles.he showed me his shingles has healed taking western medicine orally n putting ayurveda oil on itchy scabs. i told Eu Jun to have faith in TCM for his allergic eczema.he buys expensive cerave cream online that is a third cheaper than at pharmacy.im looking for TCM herb hempedu bumi plant or chun xin lian a bitter herb but garden centre says its only found in villages as people are put off by bitterness.mom is a genius at herbs and grew them in her garden.the raw leaves are rubbed to treat infected wounds,leaves dried and pounded she put in gel capsule for grandkids when they have sore throat,flu or fever.she knows how to use use herb prickly chinese spinach to cure bacterial stye in eyelid and aloe vera for burns.im now following traditional health remedy like making Jun drink tart cherry juice for gout.so for his eczema im looking at neem oil and hempedu bumi to see the effect. By the time i reached park to workout,it was noon,the blazing sun was at 37 degree celsius today.After an hour,i was dehydrated n finished the small mineral water i bought.while walking under hot sun to car,i felt my head spinning n my eyes getting to see stars.i quickly drove to the petrol station to cool down in the air condition as i knew im having heatstroke.i drank 2 cans of electrolyte and felt better. lesson learnt never exercise when temperature hits 36 to 37 degree celsius.
