An accidental burn at work
A young waitress ran screaming in to my surgery having just spilled boiling hot soup over her hand.
It was severe and had burnt a large area of her palm, which was bright red, swollen and already beginning to blister. I immediately sprayed wheatgrass extract over the affected area, then applied a protective dressing.
Under normal circumstances, (i.e. without using my wheatgrass extract) it would have taken at least two or three weeks for her skin healed well enough for her to return to work. Also, because burns are prone to infection, she would need regular follow-up, daily dressings, wound debridement, pain control (which is always a difficult challenge), and likely antibiotic cover. Other issues such as approach of university examinations, potential eviction for unpaid rent and possibility losing her job, made matters worse. Also, her employer would have to find and train another waitress.
Had I used the "standard" medical use of applying silver sulfadiazine, (a type of antibiotic used widely for burns) there would not only be risk of wound infection and allergic reactions, it would likely do little to ease her pain.
Wheatgrass extract solved the problem
Having used it many times for relieving pain and healing second degree burns, I was confident the young lady's burn would heal quickly so she could likely return to work the next day.
So, instead of cooling her hand in cold water, I sprayed a little wheatgrass extract over the burn then covered it with a protective bandage to help retain blood flow to the burn affected area. (Cold water inhibits or slows the healing process and should not be used.)
I told the patient her pain would be gone by the morning and that she could probably return to work.
"I don't think so." she said, shaking her head.
I prescribed a strong pain killer (which she didn't use) and arranged to review her the next day, which she did - minus the bandage! In fact by midnight, her pain had completely ceased, and she slept well. She also had a full range of pain-free movements of the hand and fingers, and there was no sign of blistering, tenderness to the touch or broken skin.
She returned to work the next day.
More about using wheatgrass extract for burns
Since I began using wheatgrass extract for healing burns in 1995, infection or prolonged pain have never occurred. Wheatgrass extract rapidly (usually in several minutes) reduces inflammation and swelling and restores blood supply to the damaged area. (It also reduces pain and accelerates healing of the burn.)
Apart from easing pain, the extract also prevents or reduces fluid and protein loss from burn surfaces, and accelerates healing of burn wounds.
