@ditto.daily: Period blood heals wounds TWICE AS FAST as normal blood ❤️‍🩹 Which, when you think about it, makes perfect sense. Your uterine lining sheds and fully regenerates every single month. Over and over again. Without leaving a single scar. Your body has a perfect system for rapid scarless repair ⭐️ Dr Jemma Evans is leading research into the healing power of menstrual fluid and what they're finding is remarkable. Unlike normal blood, period blood contains unique proteins that instruct existing cells to rapidly migrate to a wound and cover it, skipping the usual delays in healing entirely. 🔬Normal blood only reached 40% healing.  ⏱️Period blood? Complete closure within 24 hours. They isolated the plasma from the blood to do this, and used it on real human skin tissue detached from the body but maintained in culture conditions. It also enhances how well cells stick to damaged tissue, closing wounds faster. AND, perhaps the most wild thing of all - it promotes scar-free healing by actively inhibiting collagen production. The thing we've been conditioned to see as "dirty" and "gross"... might be one of the most powerful healing substances we have.
