Original Thread Title: COULD THIS BE THE WONDER PRODUCT WE ALL HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR??

Hi All,

I just want to let you in about a new item that I found and I find it to BE AMAZING!! And it is used for almost EVERY area of the body and is like a MIRACLE to ME!!

It is called TEPEZCOHUITE!!

You can do a google search on it and also Ebay sellers sell it!!

It is GREAT for SKIN!!

It is used to fight wrinkles, acne, dandruff, rosacea, it heals wounds, and it is used in hospitals for wound care, and especially used on BURN VICTIMS!!

This stuff is AMAZING!! And it has been around for SO LONG!!

I would LOVE to hear from anyone who has tried it and also hear about their experience about it also!!

It does look kind of like motor oil and has a weird antiseptic smell, but to me the things it does totally is worth it!!

I LOVE THIS STUFF!!

So I hope that you all will check it out and try it!!

This maybe the new MIRACLE CREAM!! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Mod Edit: I adjusted the title of the thread to be a bit more descriptive of what the thread was supposed to be about.  Also didn't want to make it sound like this was the announcement of a proven "wonder product" as experience my differ amongst different users. :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> Thanks, Annelle

 
According to wikipedia:

Mimosa tenuiflora (Jurema, Tepezcohuite) is a perennial evergreen tree or shrub native to the northeastern region of Brazil (Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará, Pernambuco, Bahia) and found as far north as southern Mexico (Oaxaca and coast of Chiapas). It is most often found in lower altitudes, but it can be found as high as 1000 m.

Medicinal uses

The Mayans of Mexico have used roasted Mimosa tenuiflora "tepezcohuite" bark to treat lesions of the skin for over a thousand years.

Powdered tepezcohuite bark contains large amounts (16%) of tannins, which act as an astringent, making the skin stop bleeding. This helps protect the body from infection, while the skin builds new protective tissue. It also contains three kinds of steroid, which have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Tannins in the bark diminish capillary permeability. It contains antioxidant flavonoids.

Mimosa tenuiflora "tepezcohuite" proved vital in the treatment of some of the 5000 burn victims in the aftermath of a series of liquid petroleum gas explosions at a huge facility located near Mexico City in San Juan Ixhuatepec (San Juanico), November 19, 1984. It was also used to treat victims of a large 1985 earthquake in Mexico. Powder from the bark has a 2-3 hour pain killing effect on the skin. Bark powder causes skin to regenerate fully in a matter of weeks. The results and some mechanisms thereof have been confirmed in the laboratory. Tepezcohuite is used to treat acne, psoriasis and herpes.

Extensive research has been performed in labs in Mexico, Canada and the United Kingdom. It is now used in commercial hair and skin products for rejuvenating skin.

The bark is known to be rich in tannins, saponins, alkaloids, lipids, phytosterols, glucosides, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose, lupeol, methoxychalcones and kukulkanins. In vitro studies have shown three times more bacteriocidal activity on bacterial cultures than streptomycin, and it works to some degree in vivo.

In addition to the above effects, tepezcohuite may protect and stimulate the generation of collagen and "elastina," as well as providing protecting flavonoids and hyaluronic acid, a building block for tissue regeneration.

Treating traumatic injury
For traumatic injuries, tepezcohuite is believed to protect exposed bone and to help regenerate soft tissue. As mentioned before, it is an antiseptic. It is also used in the prevention of inflammation.

Treating venous leg ulcerations
Mimosa tenuiflora has been shown to be very effective in treating venous leg ulcerations, a condition especially problematic for people with diabetes.

  Other
A tea made of the leaves and stem is used to treat tooth pain.

For cases of cough and bronchitis, a water extract (decoction) of Mimosa tenuiflora is drunk.

 A handful of bark in one liter of water is used by itself or in a syrup. The solution is drunk until the symptoms subside.

It certainly sounds like it can be quite beneficial.

But with regard to wrinkles, or lack there of, I'm going to stick with Retin A.

 
Dear Dragonfly,

I appreciate that you have added the wikipedia description on here. But I posted this on here to see if anyone has used it beside Me?? And what they thought about it!! I do appreciate that you did add this though. I was hoping to actually see a reply to what you thought about it etc. So I look forward to hearing from others who hopefully have used it!! Or will try it!!

Actually I was glad Carolyn added this because I've never heard of it.  I'd have to look it up to see if it was worth trying or how it would be used if I was to try to find it.  Thanks for the heads up and the info.  

 
You can pick up soap made from tepezcohuite at most Mexican grocery stores for under $5.

 
There is a Ebay store called Thank You Stan that sells alot of it and also the powder form!!

I also heard that Selma Hiyak ( not sure how to spell last name) is making a skin care line at CVS that has it in it and She has used it for YEARS!!

 
So how's it working for you?

Celebrity endorsements don't mean too much to me.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!! Only recently have I been having issues with my skin, I had 2 I guess you would call them sunspots?? And now they are gone!! I am SO GLAD!!! I have some health issues I am dealing with right now, Diabeties, Hoshimotos Disease, its a Thyroid disease that basically causes my thyroid to stop working and then attacks my immune system and it is hereditary, and also the specialist has told me that I may have Cushions Disease also, and I am only 37!! These have been really hard to deal with and I have been really down over this, plus I am gaining ALOT of weight like 7 pounds in a week, 15 pounds in 15 days etc!! So I am ballooning!! So at least I can have a nice complexion,lol!! I really do love this stuff!! I am waiting for my 2nd shipment to come, and I have a glow on my skin, and alot of people have actually stopped me in stores to ask me what i use, so I hope that this will help others also!! I know that celebrities dont really mean much when it comes to products, and they will do basically anything to make money, but SHE seems to be different. I have seen her alot on tv talk shows etc and shes really down to earth. I probably wont be buying the line shes going to have, since this stuff is like $10 and works great for me and also works great on scars and cuts, and I have a 13 yr old son who gets into ALOT so this helps also when he gets cuts and its helping actually to heal some scars he has had for over 6 years. So I am so excited for others to try this out!! I just love to see others happy and when I find something that actually works and is a great price, I LOVE TO SHARE!!

 
Wow,  Melissakecken that was some post...I hope no one takes your !!!  off your keyboard ......jk

 
I think I would like to try this cream.  Sounds like it could be very beneficial to me.  I heal so incredibly slowly and it sounds like it could help speed up recovery time.  That would be nice!  Also, I have a sun spot that I would love to have disappear. I also can use the compliments on glowing skin! I get compliments on my skin as is, but this cream can hurt. I can always use products that are taking action to prevent signs of aging/wrinkles. That is important to me now that I've hit my 30's.  I don't have any wrinkles at this time, other than my scowl lines.  LOL  Guess I should quit the scowling and smile instead.  I can feel my forhead scowling as I type this! LOL Sotp, smile! hahaha  I would love to find this product and try it out.  I'm off to search it out!

 
Well, I went off and searched out this cream/soap.  It all sounds great, the descriptions and what not.  It isn't very expensive, so I think it would be worth a try.  What could it hurt?  My 16yro son has terrible acne and the description of the product states that it helps cures acne and blackheads, as well as acne scarring.  So I found this stuff on Ebay and I think I will buy it and have my son try it at the very least.  He needs it worse than I do.  I don't get acne much at all since I got my clarisonic, but I do have some stretch marks that could use some fading.  I also have a sunspot/freckles to lighten.  Basically, I'm going to order both the soap and the cream/pomade.  I will write a review on it once I've received it and have given it a go for a while.  Keeping my fingers crossed that it will at least help out my son, but I hope it will work for my needs, too!  Keep on smiling! :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 
Well, the soap and pomade have arrived!  My son has terrible acne and he tried the soap and pomade for the first time tonight after his shower.  Keeping our fingers crossed that it does more good than harm!  Poor kid.  If this doesn't work, it's off to the dermatologist.  I will have to come back and report how well, or unwell, it works.  Will give it a couple of weeks before I report back, unless results are noticable prior to that point. Wishing him luck!  I'm trying the soap and pomade to try and get rid of or at least lighten up some stretch marks.  I also have dry skin bumps on my upper arms that I would like to get rid of, as well. So, I will also report back on how well it works for me, too. Wishing me luck, too!

 
Been about 2 weeks in and my son has noticably better clearing of acne!  He's very pleased with the soap and pomade and we are still giving it a go for at least a month to see how things go.  I sure hope this is the answer to the acne prayers! LOL

 
yes I currently use this soap I adore the product I used to suffer from acne and this soap completely changed my face. Also my mom had brown spots all over her face, neck, and chest, which was damage from the sun, and this soap has almost completely vanished these brown spots. Her face looks completely different. It is true that it smells a little weird lol but only while you have it on, after you wash your face the smell goes away, another product that is also really good and cheap for acne is Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque. I've seen the soap on craglist for like $4. Really cheap and good...and the Mint Julep Masque is not more than $5 either at like walmart or any pharmacy...o yea the soap does dry your face but I use a face cream to even my face out...which turns out great
