oriFor deep cuts:
I'm not a wound care expert but recently my child had a deep cut on his finger that really could've used stitches.....except that I didn't see it until it was apparently too late (like 2 days later instead 4-8 hours). I was told it needed to heal on its own. My child needed some pain relief (which I guess wasn't as bad the first 2 days!) and begged for faster healing. This is what my research came up with:
In a glass jar, combine:
This worked really well for both the pain and the speed of healing. Applied at night and by the next night it was feeling better (other than the dressing sticking to the concoction just a bit). And then the following day, he remarked how well that worked. Hooray!!
(Note: This recipe was originally shown as a Homemade Burn Salve by Dr. Josh Axe with only the 20 drops of lavender (no tea tree) plus 2 Tbsp of EVOO).
