There's a plant that grows in Chile that's been used by the natives to treat their skin for generations. It's called Rosa Mosqueta and it was only used in modern medicine in the 1980s. But what does it do, exactly? It's said to have powerful healing properties. When the oil, now called Rose Hip oil, extracted from this plant is applied to a wound, the healing process is said to be faster. It's also been associated with reduced wrinkles and scar removal.
Italian physicians in the 1980s used Rose Hip oil to treat scarring from surgery or wounds from accidents. They discovered that it's very effective. In experiments, researchers combined Rose Hip oil with other scar treatment medicines like Collaxyl, Panthenol, and Allantoin and the result was a far better scar revision effect.
Rose Hip oil is now available in many products. and may be used as a typical everyday treatment for minor scars. The results may vary and deep and thick scars may be hard to erase, but it's something that may be worth trying. The native Chileans who have been using the oil for centuries must know something others don't.
