Michael I am known to cook a lot at home, often Bavarian home-style cooking, since it is not so easy to get here in California. Recently, when I elegantly slid a breaded schnitzel into the bubbling pan of fat, it splashed back, burned my skin a bit on my forearm, and left a burn mark not unlike Gorbachev's bald spot (illustration 1 above).

Severe pain set in! Fortunately, I have the right medicine for such accidents on hand, namely the Chinese miracle balm "Ching Wan Hung", readily available in our bathroom cabinet. It can be bought at any local drug store or on Amazon. It's inexpensive, comes in a small tin. It's rust-brown and interestingly scented, feels like chain fat and smells of oriental essential oils. Once applied, it cools the burn and the pain will slowly subside.

Moreover, it seems to accelerate the healing process of the skin and prevent scarring, because even the schnitzel fat-related bad spot on the forearm crusted within a week and beautiful pink new skin grew underneath. After two weeks, it had completely disappeared. Of course it would be better to avoid such accidents when cooking in the first place, but if something happens, I highly recommand this balm. Top product!
