I didn't know either that such a thing could happen.
The ambo said that happened with another patient who instead of getting his leg above the level of his heart, went into a hot shower, which did not have a good result. It only caused more blood loss.
My husband swears by brown rice but this is how he lives [likes?] it done:
1 cup brown rice
3 cups of water
1 teaspoon of powdered chicken stock
1 teaspoon of powdered beef stock
cayenne pepper
1/3 teaspoon of my mix of Italian herbs
When I cook brown I use only 2 cups of water for 1 of rice. I bring it to the boil then turn it off. We have a solid metal hotplate which holds the heat. I never take of the lid for at least an hour. I have found that the outer layer of the brown rice is broken in the boiling and the rice then absorbs all water without using any more power. I was very surprised by this discovery because I always understood that brown rice takes 40 minutes of cooking.
Of course you need to start earlier. I sometimes start immediately after the previous meal and a have the basis of another meal ready.
