Snake Oil for wounds. Wait, What?

Warning: this content has blood in the photos, If you are scared or don't like to see blood, Please skip this post.

A few months ago, my son hot hurt and it was because of my recklessness. I was very sorry that I caused to hurt him, I am deeply convinced of what I had done. I forcedly grab his hand from the bamboo walling that made this wound. It was high tide at that time and so there are lots of blood that got out. Do you believe in this? This is what the elders believed and SO I did and the scientific explanation is that the gravitational pull is much more than in the low tide.

The wound was little for me but because my son is still small, it is big for his body. He cried of course. The blood did not stop after a few minutes of pressing it so I decided to use our snake oil. yes, you read it right, snake oil. It came from the snake's fat which my elders believe to have healing effects when applied to the wound of a person.
As you can see there are already bloodstains on my child's finger, those were the ones that dried just a little earlier and another batch is still coming out. i put the snake oil in his wound, I remember I did it thrice because the blood was washing it off and it could not go into the flesh.

This is the second application and the blood has somehow stopped.

here is the snake oil in an alcohol bottle. We had it since around June 2017 when I asked my husband for it.

He was working as a security guard at that time in an orchard and he was told that some of his co-workers caught snakes a few times in the area. I asked my husband to ask the snake oil if ever they catch a snake again and so he did. I was pregnant at that time and snake oil is known to make the giving of birth easier.
I did apply some of it when my tummy ached but maybe it was not the right time yet. The nurses found its smell unpleasant and made me remove it from my skin. But the doctors injected me with oxytocin and induced me to give birth to my second child.
Back to the child's wound
I repeatedly applied the snake oil to his wound until the bleeding did stop. After a few minutes, he was back playing with his sisters but I wrapped his hand with a cloth so it won't hurt when touched.

I was just glad that I kept it with us for a long time, snake oil has helped us every time someone was wounded, I even gave some to our friends who are pregnant, I just hope it helped them too.
What about you, have you heard about this snake oil from anywhere? elders maybe?

bigger snakes have fats deposited in their stomach, we call it impilya in our language. the same with hogs and poultry, the fat part inside the stomach,i hope this makes sense.
