Best Way To Heal A Cut

Healing a cut using natural remedies is a safe way to heal. It can be quick depending on your cut and how you treat it. Here are advice on the fastest and best ways to heal cuts naturally.

What you should do first when you cut yourself

The first thing to be done is to evaluate the severity of the injury, that is to say: should medical attention be sought? Are there debris? Is it deep or infected? Where is it located? Seek the advice of a practitioner if you are not sure because you may need stitches or other medical treatments.

In any case, it is important to focus on reducing the bleeding and avoiding infection as soon as possible:

* Apply pressure on the cut to stop the bleeding.
* Wrap a cloth or a compress around it (this cloth should be absorbent and sterile – at least clean).
* Continue to apply pressure on the cut with your hand.
* Raise the injured part above the level of the heart. It reduces bleeding.
* When the bleeding is controlled, apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel until it begins to feel numb. This helps constrict blood vessels.
* Take some arnica pills to stop excessive bleeding and speed healing. Homeopathy is a safe remedy to use for everyone.

In case of minor cut:
Ensure the wound is clean before application of any external treatments. Washing the wound well with soap and water – at least for several minutes.
If you’ve got garlic (to fight infection), or turmeric (to stop bleeding) at home, you could apply one of these home remedies on the wound and bandage it.

One of the quickest way to heal a cut: herbal remedies

To accelerate healing, there are herbs like Comfrey and Gotu Kola. Aloe Vera gel is also often used to soothe the pain. Bayberry, Goldenseal, Echinacea, Chamomile, Calendula gel, St John’s Wort Oil fight bacterial infection.

It is advisable to protect cuts with a bandage if there is a major risk of infection and irritation. Otherwise open air is better for quicker healing. The wound should be always be clean but don’t use water and chemical soap because you don’t want it to dry out.

Nutrition to support healing

Eat vitamin rich, fresh, raw vegetables and fruits. They provide enzymes to boost your immune system. Dark green and orange vegetables contain beta-carotenes, which are important to speed up healing. Limit dairy products, sugar and white flour, since they slow down tissue regeneration.

As for supplementation:
- Vitamin C, Bioflavanoids, and Vitamin A to promote healing and fight infection.
- Vitamin E (internal and external) to help prevent scars.
