A man with diabetes refuses to amputate his foot and uses coffee to treat wounds
Ancient Egyptians used honey to treat wounds, and now doctors in Indonesia have uncovered another unconventional method of treating wounds by using coffee powder on wounds.
Cut sugar after coffee
The researchers used ground coffee to treat a 63-year-old man with three ulcers in the foot due to diabetes after refusing to perform amputation.
The medics put the crushed coffee in the open sores of the man, and bandaged his feet, and after three months the wounds were completely healed.
The doctors were poured into a university "Padjadjaran" Indonesian, 100 grams (3.5 ounces) of coffee on the feet of swollen and full of sores.

The research team, led by Hendro Sudjuno Yoono, described it as a "cost-effective" way to treat sores on the right foot of a man.
The medics replaced the coffee powder once a week and wrapped it in medical cotton.
"The coffee solution is reliable because it has the potential to be anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and strong against germs," said Yoono.
He said different chemicals in coffee, including caffeine, can keep the wound cells intact and help them heal faster.
