Functional medicine, holistic medicine, modern medicine - I'm an advocate for it all when we get banged up. But don't sleep on the power of the "healing Teremana hooch" 😂🥃 Sunshine & pain 🌞💪🏾 Smashing em up soulman 😉🕊️ <a href="https://t.co/AIJTjjdvWs">pic.twitter.com/AIJTjjdvWs</a>

Obviously, the injury looks rather grotesque. Thankfully, it doesn't appear to be too serious based on The Rock's remarks.
