Bromelain

Bromelain: Professor Akim Bouterra's advice, supplemented by what the research says (wounds, burns, and scars), the precautions to know, and our resources to go further.

Bromelain is an enzyme derived from pineapple with multiple properties.

Indeed, it is healing, anti-inflammatory, digestive, and even pain-relieving.

This plant-based protease aids in digesting proteins by breaking them down into amino acids.

Moreover, it holds great commercial interest since it is highly sought after for the manufacturing of medications.

It is credited with cardioprotective properties, due to its ability to reduce the formation of blood clots.

It is also effective for prostatitis issues, for damaged tissue from wounds or burns, and also has immuno-regulatory properties.

Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory action makes it effective in relieving rheumatoid arthritis, and is even far more effective than commonly administered treatments.

What the science says: wounds, burns, and scars

Here is what published research says about the remedies mentioned above, offered as additional insight—these studies examine material causes, while healing belongs to Allah.

Wounds, burns, and scars

Honey speeds up the healing of burns according to a meta-analysis (N Z Med J, 2009) and of chronic wounds (Nutrients, 2024); aloe vera (Iran J Med Sci, 2019), propolis (Arch Dermatol Res, 2023), and rosehip oil (J Cosmet Dermatol, 2024) support skin repair. Precaution: an extensive or deep burn, a burn on the face, or a wound that is dirty or becoming infected calls for emergency care; honey and oils should be applied to a clean wound.
