Learned By Heart


End of the line, folks. Let’s wrap up this Tuesday with this nicely shot set of photos of a tongue-splitting procedure. Looks like good clean work all around, albeit with the use of what looks like Yunnan Baiyao to help stop the bleeding afterward, which, according to the Internets,

has been extensively used and considered a sort of miracle drug for wounds, pain, and hemorrhage. Unlike Western pain drugs, it does not turn off pain centers in the brain, but instead facilitates circulation, bringing oxygen to the injury.

[…] By immediately activating blood circulation, it helps resolve bleeding, pain, and swelling. It heals oozing wounds and damaged blood vessels, while expelling pus and counteracting toxins.

And you can even jog in it! As always, more photos after the jump.

  41. Fo sho, my dad’s an acupuncturist, Yunnan Baiyao’s the shit, used properly. It was like the go-to-guy for super gnarly mashed up little kid injuries in my house. I punctured my lip with my teeth one time; it doesn’t taste *that* bad.
