Wounds/Cuts/Scrapes Remedies

1) Use comfrey leaves as a poultice for wounds and other skin abrasions.

2) Apply tea tree oil to the wound to fight infection and speed healing.

3) Wash cut/scrape thoroughly then apply a dab of honey and a bandage.

4) Apply a bit of your own saliva to the cut/scrape.Saliva contains growth factors that stimulate cells to multiply and cover the wound, and also contains nitrates that are broken down by skin bacteria to NO, acting as an antibiotic.
