Historical Uses of Euphorbia Peplus Sap:Skin Care: in traditional European folk medicine Euphorbia Peplus sap has been used for treating Sun Spots, Warts, Corns and (non-Melanoma) Skin Cancers. This was done by carefully putting some of the latex sap extracted from the freshly cut stem onto the Sun Spot or Wart. The sap "burnt off" any skin that it came into contact with. Using it today, one should avoid contact with the eyes and internal membranes. Use of the sap near or above the eyes and mouth is not advised as sweating, rubbing and washing may carry the sap into the eyes or mouth causing inflammation and scaring. For Melanoma see Turmeric Extract. | |
