We have an amazing wound healer with the herb called;&amp;nbsp; "GOLDEN SEAL". .... Using the powder or even a tincture of this wonderful healing herb, I have quickly healed up everything from bad cuts to throat ulcers (gargeling with it mixed in some water). &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; It does sting briefly when it is put directly on an open wound, but the sting only lasts for seconds and the wound most often heals so well, there isn't even a scar left behind. I do believe it has antiseptic qualities as well. &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112467" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: African Plant Speeds Healing</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/08/01/African-Plant-Speeds-Healing.aspx#112465</link><pubDate>Thu, 02 Aug 2007 13:38:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:112465</guid><dc:creator>sTiTch</dc:creator><description>I think FDA should ban the herb asap to allow big pharma to research it and patent something they can sell &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112465" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: African Plant Speeds Healing</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/08/01/African-Plant-Speeds-Healing.aspx#112460</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 22:15:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:112460</guid><dc:creator>The Herb Doc</dc:creator><description>&lt;font color=#000000&gt;  Yes, herbalists have known about for Aspilia africana for years. Now if you want to really see a truly amazing plant for effecting bleeding – such as stopping bleeding but without clotting! (by “re-directing” the blood flow) A powdered root taken so seriously that it is issued to Asian solders on the battlefield then look at Tian Chi!  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=112460" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: African Plant Speeds Healing</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/08/01/African-Plant-Speeds-Healing.aspx#112459</link><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2007 21:23:18 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:112459</guid><dc:creator>mmc88121</dc:creator><description>The reason these plants are used is because they work.&amp;nbsp; They work in the way they were intended to, by the Creator.
