Historical Evidence
Tepezcohuite was used thousands of years ago by the Mayans to treat skin lesions such as burns by grinding the bark into a powder.
In 1984, after a terrible gas explosion in Mexico City that killed 500 people and left more than 5,000 severely burned, the Red Cross treated burn patients with Tepezcohuite.

It was so effective at healing their wounds and regenerating their skin that a year later, when an earthquake caused a series of explosions and fires, tepezcohuite was again used to treat the victims.
