Traditionally in the Wise Woman tradition, a yarrow infusion can be used to

pull glass out. They would simmer 1/2 oz of yarrow in a pint of water onas

low a flame as she can make for 15 minutes in a covered glass or clay pot.

It was then used as a soak over the appropriate area.

Hello,

my sister was in a car wreck three years ago and had a lot of the windshield to

into her scalp, face, neck, arm. It is still working out of her skin and making

her crazy. As she touches things she feels splinters of glass. It is coming out

of all the places I named, including the roof of her mouth and her throat. Her

head feels swollen. Her eye is bothered. After a shower there is a layer of

glass on the tub. She lives in the middle of nowhere with no access to

holistic, Chinese medicine. Her allopathic doctor said it would just have to

work itself out. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Michelle

Michelle's letter caught my attention.

There is a classic concept from Homeopathy and the Shussler Biochemic

System that homeopathic Silica activates the cells to expell any

foreign element - the old doctors called it as a great splinter

remover - this can be bought at most health food stores from the

leading Homeopathic companies like Standard Homeopathic or Boiron -

another Homeopathic resource is www.abchomeopathy.com - buy this in

either 6x or 12x potency.

Two other ideas to consider -

One is Reishi - Reishi dissolves the thick and sticky quality of the

jing fluids - often these 'sticky' glycated substances 'hold' the

foreign substances and renders them difficult to expell. Buy whole

Reishi or powdered Reishi and boil 5-9 gms in 6 cups of water - boil

down to 3 cups and take in three devided doses per day until all

substances are expelled. There are undoubtedly inflamatory processes

around the glass fragments - dissolving and moving the excess heat

(acid) and fluid accumulation will help in the elimination process -

Reishi is very helpful for this.

Second idea - the cells need Qi so as to be able to focus the energy

of the tissues for expelling these glass fragments - any good Qi

increasing medicine will help - my favorite quick energy tonic is

Majiajun 'Championship Formula' - this is distributed in US by

Superior Trading Company in San Francisco - this is a simple formula

that can be devised by anyone on their own - it is Cordyceps, Red

Ginseng, Edimedium acuminatum, and citrus peel - other classic qi

medicines such as 'Imperial Qi'will help.

Keep the bowels free - as dry sticky bowels are the same problem as

mentioned before - it means the body is dry and stagnant not the best

environment for elimination of substances - do not let the jing

fluids become sticky - you can notice this in your saliva, eye

fluids, genital fluids, etc. Drink plenty of fluids to also combat

drying, stagnant, holding qualities of the cells. Perhaps light steam

baths might help as it will relax and open the pores and the surface

circulation and help speed up the process of expelling the surface

glass.

If one has a FIR lamp then apply this in a moderate dose (not close

or for long time) - this is very helpful for stimulating surface

circulation.

Good luck - if the immune functions are good then this will simply be

a matter of suffering through the natural expulsion process - which

just means time. But if one is older or very young or with weakened

immune function then the cells may have trouble expelling some of

these fragments - then the above suggestions or similar ones will be

necessary - if after some time all of the pieces have not been

expelled then one will have to surgically remove the most obstinate

ones - do not leave them as they will cause potential problems later -

although in most cases the body will naturally eliminate all of

these fragments but it might take time and be very painful in the

meantime - so help the body how ever you can to eliminate these

fragments..

Tatum O'Neal (Paper Moon star) wrote in " A Paper Life " that salves

helped leach out highway macadam from her legs after a car crash as a

teen. She's gone through the window and her legs skidded across the

pavement. (OW!)

I don't think the salves were specified, nor were recipes given. She

went untreated for about a week on account of her abusive father,

Ryan O'Neal, and the unhelpful Farrah Fawcett.

It might take time, whichever treatment is given.
