A Skin Care Secret Hidden in the Mountains of Chile Uncovered by Doctors!

Excerpt from paper by Dr. Kehl.


Changes produced on skin by the action of the skin, ie photoaging (dermotoheliosis) are very common in all countries of warm climate. Exposure to sun causes important morphological changes in skin. Dermotoheliosis appears in different ways and varying intensity ranging from surface wrinkles, active keratosis and variation in the distribution of the melanin granules. For this test volunteers were selected among people who usually spend the three months of summer in resorts by the sea or who go to the beach everyday. The tests were carried out on twenty women aged between 25 and 35 who were controlled and assessed during the summer. The most frequently noted cutaneous signs were surface wrinkles, brown spots, efelids and, in some cases, only an intense tan. All applied rosehip oil on the face during four months (May to August, Autumn) Observations were made every eight days. Significant changes were noted starting on the third week. Firstly, surface wrinkles started to disappear, spots started to fade until, at the end of the fourth month, the disappearance was complete.


Dr Leonardo Rusowsky, Surgeon at Enrique Deformes Hospital in Santiago, Chile, and acting president of the Corporation For Aid To Children with Burns.

Dr Rusowsky is currently applying Rosehip Oil to
children with severe burns in the way of compresses and massotherapy (massages carried out by kinesiologists to loosen up scars).  Dr Rusowsky says, “Rosehip Oil improves the texture and quality of skin by increasing its elasticity. Rosehip Oil helps people who have suffered burns. Its effect, more than to flatten out hypertrophic and hyperplasic scars (raised and bulky scars), is to improve the colour of the scars and of the skin in the affected area”.

Dr. Hans Harbst, M.D, Surgeon, Radiotherapist and Oncologist.  Graduated in Radio-Oncology, Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at the Nuclear Research Centre of the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Dr Harbst heads the Department of Radio-oncology of the Indisa Clinic in Santiago and is also head of the Department of Radiology at the Chilean Air Force Hospital in Santiago.

Radiologist and oncologist Hans Harbst has also worked with
Rosehip oil and found it to be excellent for treating skin problems following radiation therapy.  Dr. Harbst explains about his experience with Rosehip oil:
"As a radiotherapist, I work with several patients that have been operated upon and, therefore, have scars. Also, the radiation to which they are exposed may produce secondary effects on the skin such as inflammations, darkening and actinic dermatitis.  These effects are, in most cases, unavoidable because in the same way that a surgeon leaves a scar when he or she operates, a radiotherapist leaves a mark on the radiated areas, which are not injuries as such but skin reactions.
"This means a problem for the patient, especially when he or she are left with marks in areas exposed to view like the face, head or neck
.
"I have applied Rose Hip Oil on all types of skin. Rose
hip Oil acts on scars reducing hyperpigmentation, flattening hypertrophia (bulky scars) and loosening up fibrous chords. All these effects end up in a near complete attenuation of scars”.
  In one case, says Harbst, "a man who had his whole head radiated due to a brain tumor had no signs of radiation damage after four weeks of treatment with Rosa Mosqueta oil." Another patient who showed an acute dermatitis after radiation had an excellent recovery 24 hours after treatment with the oil. "The skin had actually regenerated."

Dr.Fabiola Carvajal, M.D., Microbiology department at Concepción University in Santiago, Chile.

"The results were superb using Rosa Mosqueta oil and cream in all our clinical studies, even with scars over 20 years old and with patients who had not improved using other therapies,"
she says. "Burns (including sun-damaged skin and radiation burns), chronic ulcerations of the skin (such as that with paraplegics and those bedridden), skin grafts, brown spots, prematurely aging skin and dry skin all benefited with Rosa Mosqueta."
