Hello

ok here is something that is going to sound strange.

is their any evidence supporting the notion that applying spice to ruptured skin (say from road rash or from removing the top layers as is done with kambo) can either have a psychological effect or reduced localized inflammation?

something happened by accident that leads an inclination that either or both of these things may be true, now i dont know/think if spice can be absorbed subdermally through non damaged skin, but on an injury would the same apply?

thank you.

I think it would be dangerous and could lead to infections. Sounds a more risky version of Injecting to me.

I have noticed that the vapor can be absorbed by just passing across my lips. They end up going numb for 10 or 15 minutes. From this experience I could imagine that it might have some topical anesthetic properties.

DMT is transdermal.

On three occasions - two broken bones and one knee injury - I gave friends some DMT/coconut oil. I told them to apply to the area that hurt. I won't rule out placebo, but each of them claimed that the oil reduced pain for a few hours after each application. One of the friends said it was particularly effective(she even asked for a second vial) - more so than some standard pain meds. Maybe placebo, maybe medicine, maybe something else.

I think I remember a member pineal shaman using DMT ointments..

I read years ago (can't remember where) that mimosa hostilis is used in a skin healing ointment/solution. That it has cellular regenerative properties.

About 4 1/2 years ago I got second, third, and fourth degree burns (some muscle burned) on about 1/3 of my right hand, on the palm and the fingers. It was horrible. I will try to keep a long story short. I Got burned, went to the hospital. Doctors in Spain attempted to ruin my life because I did not want to stay in the hospital( I was considered a dirty hippie...which at the time i was...lol ). They told me if I left the hospital I would never use my right hand again. They attempted to make it happen by wrapping bandage over my burns without ANY ointment or buffer. I did not notice as they were doing it, as I was a little out of it. About a day later when an incredible amount of itching started, I realized I could not get the bandage off. Well, I realized there was no other way to do it except rip it off. I proceeded to soak my hand in h2o2 water for about an hour to soften it up. Well the bandage came off, slowly, but was a horrible experience as it was bonded to skin, half skin and muscle, and had tried to scab.

Over the course of the next couple of days I used mimosa soaked in water to apply to the burns. When applying it created the most painful stinging sensation I can image. This was alternated with fresh Aloe vera. I couldn't move my fingers for about a month. I have full functionality in my right hand now..It took a few months though. And no scars. There's a couple places on the tops of my fingers where the skin is very slightly discoloured, but only I can tell, and only at certain times.

Take away from it what you will...

Hmmm maybe? I know they've been studying possible functions of DMT in the immune system. So maybe it could speed up the healing process?

Yes, mimosa's bark is used to heal skin problem (like burns) but it's trunk bark with (almost?) no DMT in it.
