Liquid smoke made from coconut shell has drawn attention for its traditional use as a healing aid for injuries such as burns. Indonesian researchers constructed an animal model to test its efficacy on burn wounds, which is one of the most common and serious injuries encountered during accidents and disasters.
Universitas Padjadjaran supported the research. They published their findings in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine.
Based on their findings, the researchers believed that coconut shell liquid smoke could be developed into an alternative topical treatment for burn wounds. They recommended further experimentation to determine the active ingredients responsible for the healing process.
