Residents of the Nile Valley Discovered Chewable Root which Increases Melanin
“Residents of the Nile Valley who often journeyed in caravans across the desert were advised to chew a root called ‘amimajos,’ which provided extra protection from the intense sun by increasing the amount of melanin in the skin. Modern scientific research has shown that the ami-majos root contains an organic chemical substance called 8-methoxypsorate, which stimulates melanocytes and increases skin pigmentation” (Browder, 1992, p. 126).
Laser Skin Treatment in Kemet (Egypt)
“In a chapter titled ‘Lasers in Medicine,’ the author, Rodney Perkins, MD, suggests that a form of laser therapy was actually used in the Nile Valley. Dr. Perkins states that: ‘There is documentation that the ancient Egyptians recognized and used the therapeutic power of light as long as 6,000 years ago. Patches of depigmented skin, now referred to as vitiligo, were cosmetically undesirable. Egyptian healers reportedly crushed a plant similar to present day parsley and rubbed the affected areas with crushed leaves. Exposure to the sun’s radiation produced a severe form of sunburn only in the treated areas. The erythema subsided, leaving hyperpigmentation in the previously depigmented areas’” (Browder, 1992, p. 126).
