Heal the burn Q: I always get a dark scar on my body whenever I get a cut or a burn. The scar will eventually fade away if it is from a cut or a scrape. If it is from a burn, though, it never goes away. Is there something that you know of that I can use to get rid of these ugly scars? Dr. Wright: I've never seen anything achieve results in healing burns like the natural, beeswax and "bee product" based ointment called Whole Skin Ointment, which is used extensively in Chinese burn clinics. I can't say for sure exactly what they mean by "bee products," which sounds somewhat disturbingly vague, but the miraculous recoveries these mysterious ingredients facilitate certainly make up for the ambiguity. I've known about Whole Skin Ointment for years, but sometimes the effectiveness of this burn treatment still surprises me. And it appears to work for all types and severity, from minor sunburn to very serious burns requiring skin grafts. Whole Skin Ointment is distributed in the USA by Chi Enterprises and is available from many natural food stores as well as numerous online retailers.  |
