Thousands of years ago, the Miao people in the Miao villages in the Miao area had already figured out how to treat scars left by burns and scalds. Due to the frequent migrations of the Miao people in their early days, most of the places they went to were remote mountainous areas and malaria-infested areas with few people. The natural conditions were very harsh. The Miao people mainly engaged in slash-and-burn farming and working all day long. Under these specific conditions, they were inevitably burned by water or fire. Therefore, almost everyone knows and masters the methods of treating burns or fire. This prescription is now known as the Miao medicine Shaotanling. It has been used clinically by generations of Miao doctors and has cured countless patients over thousands of years.
