Mayan ointment from Chiapas, Mexico
|
|
|
| G'day fellow flakers, :-)
I recently visited the Mayan Medicine Museum in San Cristobal de las Casas
in Chiapas, Mexico. I asked the 'Pharmacist' at their shop for something for
my psoriasis which I have on my knees and one elbow. He readily offered me a
wee plastic jar of green ointment for 15 pesos ($1.50 usd). I am trying to
remember the name of the natural medicine after the label fell off and is
lost. BTW, the label is completely in Mexican spanish.
All the same, the simple ointment has drastically reduced my flaking after
only 10 days of twice daily application.
Here's their website if anyone is interested http://www.medicinamaya.org .
Good luck,
Barge

Was it cotochupa? Aka- kalawalla (Polypodium leucotomos), Calaguala,
Samambaia, huayhuashi-shupa, mirane, temakaje,

Or maybe something else on this post,

| Hope it doesn't contain steroids (Mayan Skincap!)

| Funny, the cream I posted last week is green as well, reduced flare and
flakes.
You should write the ingrediants even though they are in spanish, at
least we could know if it has steriods or not...
BTW, found the web site for the cream I was talking about in my
previous post

Would like to have comments from regulars,

Has good stuff in it,
"Made from herbs recognized for their scarring, antifungal and
antibacterial properties : Organic Comfrey roots and leaves, wild
goldenseal and bee propolis macerated in first cold-pressed olive oil,
wheat germ, beeswax, lavender essential oil and benzoin resin. 60 g"
I use wheatgrassactive.com spray and Ben has me on another mild
antiseptic
with my IP6/vitamin C trial. That has helped more then the wheatgrass
spray
seemed to do.
I don't feel like an antiseptic harms my results and that is what the
above is,
"Antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal. Apply to serious wounds or
sores (infected or not) that do not heal well. Effective for chronic
skin problems, eczema, psoriasis"
And antiseptic's seem to help as the wheatgrass spray has been a
mainstay since it hit here. On me and chuck anyway.
As to comfrey. There are 19 hits in the psoriasis newsgroup. But nearly
100 hits on all other groups,

For just the p ng,

This company seems to also have a nice perspective as to helping the
skin,
http://www.sourisverte.ca/eng/saviez.html
But what are their testimonials for P?
Finding the negative ones as well as the positive ones would give one
a CLEARER picture as to true results.
One of the problems these companies have is touting all the good
without
mentioning the negatives.

The major problem is where to get it if your not in Quebec,
http://www.sourisverte.ca/pdf/distributeur.pdf
As to ingestion and some folks will try anything green,
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/...st_uids=3059158
I would think that you'd grow tired of this particular green before
toxcity problems set in.
Unless it did anything topical, of course.
In which case you'd need to compare it to simple occlusion.
Some things and P being one of them just don't grow with 02.
But if you like it's green color and it is a healing color btw. 
Whatever that means. lol
One can't discount the placebo quality.
And who can put a price on that?
I know that homeopathics don't do ziP on my P, so why toss the
$'s at them?
But green still works for me.
And kalawalla, cotochuPa et al is still on my radar.
Would love to grow some. The pleasure from my night blooming cereus
this year was nice. You should smell these critters,

If I only had the mother's in law tongue (aka-snake plant, Sansevieria)
in bloom at the same time,
http://www.btinternet.com/~auntieka...nLawsTongue.jpg
Those white spikes on the left in last jpg, to smell with the
cereus, i'd be in heaven still.
Simply without a doubt incredibly floral and seductive.
To experience these nasal delights is about how i feel when i'm
clear.
WhooPs where did that all come from? lol
