| This form of treatment was adopted by Dr Durack in Western Australia, who treated him with chaulmoogra oil by mouth. |
|
| Tropical chaulmoogra oil comes from the expressed oil of seeds of the chaulmoogra tree. |
|
| Finally, an expedition sent by the United States found the chaulmoogra tree in the forests of Burma. |
|
| Chaulmoogra was later identified as a source of chaulmoogra oil, an age-old leprosy treatment. |
|
| One of the standard treatments for leprosy has been to inject ethyl-esters of chaulmoogra oil into a muscle with a large bore syringe. |
|
| The most effective one was a medicinal form of DDS called dapsone, which quickly replaced chaulmoogra oil as the standard medication for leprosy. |
|
| Drugs are being made that have the same effect as chaulmoogra oil. |
|
| Parsley extract and chaulmoogra oil inhibit pigmentation spots and contribute the production of collagen, retaining the firmness of the skin. |
|
| The emulsion consists of an effective and healing composition of very active ingredients such as chaulmoogra oil and guggul extract. |
|
| But the treatment with chaulmoogra oil is difficult to continue, not very effective, and has little attraction for those who know they have contracted leprosy and wish to avoid living in isolated leper villages. |
|
| Chaulmoogra oil was used by the Chinese for leprosy from at least the 14th century, and about a century ago it began to be used for this purpose by Western physicians. |
