Innovating traditional methods of trauma treatment.

Stuffing a seriously wounded person into a cow's stomach can stop bleeding and cure diseases. This is a common treatment method used by the ancients on the battlefield. This treatment is recorded in the famous book Compendium of Materia Medica by China famous doctor Li Shizhen. It is clearly pointed out in the book that cow blood can cure the injured. So there was a folk prescription for stuffing the wounded into the belly of cattle, which was often used in the battlefield with underdeveloped medical care in ancient times. Although it is a folk prescription, there are many real examples of cure in history.

An example of stuffing an injured person into a cow's stomach to treat a disease occurred during Genghis Khan's period. Everyone knows that Genghis Khan's greatness lies not only in his achievements, but also in his kindness to every general and soldier in the army and his attention to the life of every general and soldier. Once, a general was seriously injured and bleeding profusely. At that time, the doctors stationed in the army used many methods but could not stop the bleeding, just when the doctors could do nothing. Genghis Khan ordered a cow to be found and slaughtered on the spot. After removing the organs from the cow's belly, he stuffed the injured general into the cow's belly.

Sure enough, a few days later, the injured general recovered and was reborn in the cow's stomach. However, the method of treating the wounded by stuffing them into cows' stomachs was not invented by Genghis Khan, but a common method used by Mongolians on the battlefield. It was not invented by Mongols at the same time. According to historical records, as early as the Tang Dynasty, when General Guo Ziyi was seriously injured, he cured the disease in this way.

Although cow blood can cure injuries, it has been proved to be effective in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica. However, the method of stuffing the injured into the cow's stomach is still due to the lack of very clear medical principles. It can only be said that it was a folk prescription that had to be eaten in ancient times because of underdeveloped medicine. In the modern times when our medicine is developed, naturally this method will not be adopted again, and the principle of this method will not be further discussed.
