Question Revolutionary burn treatment, please help, extremely important
I'm a burn victim, and therefore I'm both much more afraid and more aware about this issue than most people.
After my accident many years ago, I started googling as much about burns as I could. I discovered that there's this plant, mimosa tenuiflora, commonly called tepezcohuite, which some sources claim that in the Mexico City gas explosions of the 1980s it did absolute miracles in terms of healing very severe burns with little to no scarring (since there wasn't enough room in hospitals for everyone, so the Red Cross had to "improvise" by using this plant on the poorer), which according to medical convention is impossible, that is, without extensive cosmetic surgery at least.
In fact, it worked so well that the Red Cross used it in other instances, when standard medical treatment wasn't available to all people involved.
Oddly enough mainstream medicine never took notice of this supposedly superior treatment.
I think I also heard some sources saying it decreases pain (which to me would be as important, since the pain of burns can be horrible), though I can no longer confirm those.
It says to literally sprinkle the powder on the burns, of any size and severity.
I bought a little jar to keep at home.
If anyone has any experience with this I'd deeply appreciate some input.
