"Vitamin E seems to be a natural anti-thrombin (helps blood clotting) in the human blood stream and it actually accelerates the healing of burns and wounds.

Vitamin E can prevent excessive scar tissue production and even, in some instances, the ability to melt away unwanted scar tissue. It has been proven to function in this way in many areas of the body-from the hand, in Dupuytren’s contraction (Rochester, N. V.)-to urinary tract strictures (Johns Hopkins)."
