Peru Balsam Materia Medica

$5.00

The indigenous tribes of Central America began using Peru balsam medicinally long before the appearance of the Spanish. In this reference, it was employed as an antibacterial, antifungal and anti-parasitic to treat chilblains, diaper rash, lice, ringworm, scabies, and indolent skin ulcers, including bedsores. Among the Choco Indians, the powdered bark served as an underarm deodorant.

Modern in-vitro studies have demonstrated that Peru balsam can inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis as well as Helicobacter pylori (the bacterial species associated with
stomach ulcers). Peru balsam is still used extensively in commercial topical preparations intended for the treatment of wounds (including military wounds), skin ulcers and scabies.
