Tung oil for inflammation

Inflammation is a common and frequent disease. Inflammation may occur in any organ of the human body. The harm caused by inflammation in different organs to the human body is different, and the symptoms manifested by the body are also completely different. Generally, if you suffer from inflammation, you will use anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation. In fact, some surgical inflammations can be treated by applying tung oil. So, how does tung oil treat inflammation?

①Treatment of surgical inflammation

Apply a mixture of tung oil and gypsum powder to the affected area. If the medication is used promptly, it can promote the absorption and elimination or limit the severity of acute suppurative inflammation. According to the observation results of 65 cases of various acute soft tissue inflammations, 46 cases of inflammation completely disappeared, 6 cases of inflammation were localized and symptoms improved after 1 to 10 days of medication; 13 cases of abscesses shrank, ruptured spontaneously or were cured through small incision and drainage. The dressing width must extend beyond the inflammatory infiltration area. Change the dressing 1 to 3 times a day depending on the severity of the condition

②Treatment of burns

Try to soak the burned limb in the tung oil barrel within 10 minutes after the burn. The soaking time should be until the pain disappears or only a slight burning sensation remains after the patient's affected limb leaves the oil barrel. After soaking, apply sterilized gauze dipped in raw tung oil to the affected area. Change it once a day until the wound is dry. In a trial of 9 cases, the redness and swelling around the burn area were significantly reduced after soaking, and the blistering also decreased. The eschar of third-degree burns dries and falls off and heals on its own. No infection occurred, and the scar was soft and did not cause functional impairment after healing.

③Treatment of common warts

First, use a sewing needle or a knife to gently scrape the surface of the wart, then drop the gum of tung fruit on the wart surface, let it dry and form a scab naturally, and then fall off by itself. If some wart tissue has not fallen off after the scab has fallen off, drip the medicine 1 to 2 more times until it is healed. Do not wash the affected area with water after applying the medicine to avoid affecting the scab. Eight cases were treated. Except for one case in which multiple drops were ineffective after three drops, the other seven cases had simple drops fall off after 1 to 3 times. No recurrence was observed during the six-month follow-up.
