Fue en el año 1982 cuando se pone a prueba las propiedades del tepezcohuite pues con la erupción del volcán Chichonal en México, el Dr. Roque de León emplea con éxito el polvo de la corteza de este arbusto en multitud de heridos y consigue que distintos médicos centren la atención en sus propiedades.



Dos años después en 1984, se utiliza de nuevo en otro accidente en México, con la explosión de gas en San Juan Ixhuatepec y el Dr. Mario Doria aplica el tepezcohuite en las personas que han sufrido quemaduras.

Con estos dos casos se demostró que al utilizar el tepezcohuite en quemaduras y heridas se tenían mejor resultados que con otros tratamientos.
