How to Use Natural Healing for Skin Cuts
Bumps, scrapes and bruises seem to happen when we least expect it, and always end up right where you don't want one. Mankind has faced this particular malady since they first put a spearhead into the fire and they were able to heal with natural remedies.
Items Needed:
- Wild organic honey
- Fresh or dried Comfrey
- Gauze
- Tape
- Small soft bristled paintbrush
- Clean strips of fabric for binding
- Microwave
- Honey. Honey is an excellent treatment for cuts of all sizes great and small. Noted for its high antibacterial and antifungal properties all the way back to the ancient Egyptians, honey works best if you dab a little on right after cleaning the wound . If you don’t like the idea of using a spoon or getting your fingers sticky, try using a small and sturdy paintbrush with soft, clean bristles. Wrap gently with strips of clean cloth or place a small square of gauze over the area then wrap with an ace bandage.
- Comfrey- It is absolutely vital that any wound you decide to treat with Comfrey. Used to treat wounds and inflammations as well as to knit bones back together, comfrey is a great alternative to traditional band-aids or even over the counter surgical glue. With the wound completely free of dirt, debris and cotton or cloth lint, place a teaspoon of comfrey into 2 cups boiling water and allow it to steep for five minutes. When done, strain the mixture and apply a very small amount to the damaged area, being careful to permit no excess of the mixture to form puddles. Place a clean sheet of gauze over the area and secure over with a small section of tape.
