Herbal Healing Tips
For Infected wounds
Onion sliced and placed over the wound will bring out puss.... onion acts like a drawing cream and will suck out impurities (also good to bring out splinters), which is why you should never leave onions uncovered in the fridge!
Cabbage leaves, dipped in warm water for a moment, placed onver the wound helps to relieve swelling and infections.
Boil and mash carrots, and apply the mush to the wound... (I read that somewhere... don't know if it works)
Grate a potato, add some ginger, and apply this to the wound (good for infections and warts)
Echinacea is apparently good for infections,
Yarrow makes a good poultice for inflamations, insect bites, swellings and wounds.
Garlic powder on wounds is meant to help them heal...
Lemon juice is a natural antiseptic
Herbal healing for infections
Bread soaked in milk and then applied, and bandaged over of course. As the bread dries, it will draw the infection out.
Slices of raw potato or onion will do the same as the above. Remember to bandage them so that the slices don't fall off.
