Yesterday I heard a really strange home remedy. Apparently if your stomach hurts you should force lots of blood into your arms and hands then cut your finger so you bleed. This little adventure in blood letting is supposed to relieve your stomach ache.
What are some other strange home Korean remedies. |

Bamboo under the fingernails!!!!!!!!!!!
Sure it works, I guarantee you won't be worrying about your silly old headache anymore. 
How about sticking grass up your nose to cure hickups.
My ex used to do that one.  |

What is this supposed to cure? Stomach pain, or is it a general remedy for everything?

My wife does this. Absolutely disturbing and baseless from a medical standpoint I'm sure. How can you cure a stomach ailment by squeezing the "bad blood" from your fingers? How does the bad blood from your fingers have any relationship with your stomach problem.
I get a little smack every time I call this pratice "Korean voodoo". My wife insists that it has it's origin in Chinese medecine, however, I don't see how it works. |
