Its historical use by the indigenous Mayan people dates back over a thousand years, and it is still used to this day by South and Meso-American naturopaths, doctors, herbalists, curanderos, and other healers.
Tepezcohuite has often been used on a wide variety of skin conditions, burns, and injuries. As a medicinal salve for healing tattoos, it works with unparalleled efficacy and speed.
