Natural Home Cures - Wounds Treatment

Wounds Treatment

Aromatherapy: Useful essential oils include lavender, myrrh, bergamot, chamomile, tea tree, eucalyptus, juniper, and rosemary.

Diet: A diet rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and zinc enhances wound healing. Foods high in these nutrients include green and yellow vegetables, raw seeds and nuts, eggs, and cold-water fish, as well as fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Avoid all saturated and processed fats, as well as refined and processed foods, sugars, caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol.

Herbs: Calendula lotion can help to speed wound healing and also has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Other useful herbal remedies are echinacea ointment, comfrey root powder (applied as a salve), and goldenseal (also applied as a salve). Distilled witch hazel can promote healing.

Juice Therapy: Useful juices include beet greens, which are rich in beta-carotene, vitamins C, vitamin E, and magnesium; beetroot, which is rich in potassium, folic acid, and glutathione; carrot, which is rich in vitamin A, beta-carotene, potassium, trace minerals, and antioxidants; and celery, which is rich in potassium, sodium, and antioxidants.

Homeopathy: The three most useful homeopathic remedies are Calendula, Hypericum, and Ledum.

Nutritional Supplementation: Recommended nutrients include vitamin A, beta carotene, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, pantothenic acid, and zinc. Noni fruit extract is also useful because of its ability to improve immune function, stimulates cell regeneration, and fight pain and inflammation.

Topical Treatment: Unprocessed honey applied topically can help to disinfect wounds, sores, and actively promote wound healing.
