Buffalo helps farmers in some hard works such as pull a plough and turn over the soil.

Water buffalos are big and healthy, and you can be too if you try these all-natural buffalo remedies.

Burn 30 grams of tail hair from a black buffalo at least five years old. Pound the ashes into powder and dissolve them in five milliliters of white rice wine. Let sit overnight. Patients with chronic malaria should drink this remedy, which should reduce fever in just about 10 minutes.

Thick skin

Some 500 grams of buffalo skin should be cooked with one liter of water until it hardens. For diseases such as cirrhosis, fatty liver or pimple in adults, steep 40 grams of the hardened buffalo skin in 10 milliliters of warm water until the skin expands. Then cut it into small strings and steep them in 250 milliliters of white rice wine. Drink five milliliters of the wine twice a day for 10 days to reduce fever.

Smooth skin

To treat scabies in children, stew the hardened buffalo skin until it disintegrates. Then rub the liquid on to the scabies-affected skin for five days to clear the skin.

Those pearly whites

Buffalo teeth can also be used to make remedies for ulcerate arms or legs. Firstly, wash five front teeth with water and steep them in pure lime water for 15 minutes. Then burn the teeth and dip in 10 milliliters of vinegar three times. The next step is to grind the teeth into powder and mix them with poon oil or sesame oil. Remember that the skin must be clean before applying the medicine to ulcerate wounds.

Big balls

For swollen testicles, simmer female buffalo ovaries or two male buffalo testicles along with 5 grams of fennel seeds (tiểu hồi hÆ°Æ¡ng or fructus foeniculi), 3 grams of salt and 50 grams of skinned green peas for one hour. Eat for five consecutive days.

Release

Buffalo milk can control fevers and constipation. Prepare by boiling 50 milliliters of buffalo milk to 80 degrees Celcius, then mix with 50 grams of milk taken directly from the buffalo. Those who suffer from constipation should drink the mixed milk ten times until they have a bowl movement.
