In broccoli, they found a substance that heals wounds twice as fast as antibiotics.

Israeli scientists have found that diindolylmethane (DIM), found in broccoli, cauliflower and other vegetables, heals wounds twice as fast as antibiotics. An ointment based on diindolylmethane was tested on pigs. It turned out that the substance interferes with the vital activity of bacteria. Thanks to this, the wounds are healed in five days. Medicines with antibiotics heal them in ten. Now scientists are working on the creation of a full-fledged ointment suitable for people. If the trials are successful, she could replace antibiotics.
