Egg yolk oil

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

 

In Henry Lu's book on food cures, he mentions that egg yolk oil is a successul

 treatment for burns, skin ulcers and varicositites.  To quote him, " to make egg

yolk oil, boil about 5 to 10 eggs until hard-boiled.  Remove the yolks and mash

them thoroughly.  Fry the yolks in a pan over high heat, stirring constantly,

until they gradually turn very dark and close to black, as if the oil is about

to flow out.  Use a clean cloth to wrap the yolks an squeeze out the oil. "

 

I had a patient try it and to quote the patient, " the egg yolks dried up and I

could get no oil out of them, they are brown and not black, but maybe I did them

too much? "

 

Anyone familiar with this process
