preparation and application of egg yolk oil

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Steve.  I would appreciate if you are able to check your notes or

check with Dr. Tan Tan Huang if available.  Any other information from anyone

else would be appreciated. 

 

BTW, I wrote  to Dr. Henry Lu, and exchange seems to indicate a completely

different process.  Here is our exchange: 

 

Yehuda Frischman:

  " In your book  " Chinese System of Food Cures, " you discuss egg-yolk oil as a

cure  for varicose veins and burns.  I had a patient try it and it just didn't

work.  The yolks became dryer as the dry fried rather than oil flowing out.  Can

you clarify how it needs to be done? "

 

Henry Lu: " Did your patient try it for varicose veins or for burns and for how

long in each case? "

 

YF: " The problem was in the preparation of the egg yolk oil.  My understanding

was that that after being mashed, the egg yolks were to be dry fried, on a high

flame, and as the mixture became dark brown, it would start to exude the oil. 

But that didn't happen, and the mixture just became dry. "

 

HL: " You need to stir it very quickly before it becomes dried "

 

 

So again, anyone have experience in the preparation and application of Egg-yolk

oil?

 

Happy 4th,

 

YLF

Hi All,

 

I had a workshop with Tan Tan Huang on Pao Zhi (herbal preparations) in which he

demonstrated how to make yolk oil.

We used sesame oil and warmed it first then added two hard boiled egg yolks (eat

the whites).  We fried the yolks on med to med-high heat until a white light

foamy substance appeared and continued heating until the yolks were brown and

crumbling.  I think this was used for skin problems (eczema) but, I would have

to recheck my notes.  I Hope this helps!

 

Sincerely,

Steve

That sounds like a huge amount of work. I just give them Jing Wan Hong

ointment for burns. Works great.
