The Fire Treatment
Would you set yourself on fire for beauty? According to The Inquisitr, the Fire Treatment (aka Huǒ liáo) is the hot new thing in China:
The process involves an esthetician or spa employee draping target areas of the face and body with alcohol and secret elixir saturated towels. The person, more specifically the towel the person is wearing, is set ablaze. Moments later the towel is extinguished. The fiery beauty regime is supposedly based off ancient Chinese medicine. The dangerous treatment is intended to eliminate dull skin, aid in the common cold, and revert obesity.

Burn, baby, burn.

If the towel on the first victim was soaked in alcohol, the whole towel would be in flames. However, if you soak the towel in the magic elixir (99.99% water) and just have a few drops of alcohol over each eye, it's safe. Much safer than other BEAUTY tricks.

What else can the treatment do? Cure curvature of the spine, fix basketball games, and win the war for the Allies?

That should drive the evil demons away.

All the muscle has gone to fat and his show where they followed him around as a deputy sheriff even failed.
