Catagmatic
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In pre-modern medicine, the term catagmatic generally referred to any treatment purported to heal bone fractures, by promoting the formation of a callus.
The principal catagmatics were Armenian bole, gum tragacanth, osteocolla, Cyprus nuts, frankincense, aloes, and acacia.
The word comes from the Greek καταγμα, "fracture".
