Overview

A wound is an injury to the skin that cuts or breaks it. Although most wounds heal naturally over time, there are several things you may do to speed up the process.

A wound exposes the body's interior tissues to the outside atmosphere, which may result in the mixing of dust into blood and tissues. 

That is why we should not leave a wound uncovered. Common causes include cuts, blows, accidents, and other impacts.

A minor wound can sometimes be treated at home. If you have a more serious injury, such as shattered bones or extensive blood, you should seek medical attention.

Here we shall discuss some very good home remedies to treat minor cuts to serious wounds.

If you have an open wound, keep in mind the following steps to treat it:

Open wounds are a nightmare because they are not only painful and dirty, but they also take a long time to heal entirely. They also leave a permanent mark on your skin.

1. Wash your hands with soap and water.

2. Remove any jewelry or clothing from the area of the wound and apply pressure to the wound to halt the bleeding.

3. Using clean and cold water and a saline solution, clean the wound. 
4. Once the bleeding has stopped, check the site for foreign objects and dirt and use an antibiotic ointment to avoid infection.

5. Using a clean cloth, pat the wound dry.

6. Apply an adhesive bandage or band-aid to the wound.

7. Every 24 hours, you should check the wound. This entails removing the bandages and inspecting the wound for symptoms of infection.

8. After that, clean the wound, dry it, and apply a clean adhesive bandage or band-aid.

A non-sterile closed wound can retain bacteria and lead to subsequent infections. 

If you have an unclean wound or an infection in your wound, you should leave it open until you clean it or the infection clears.

Several strategies can be used to improve healing after a wound has been treated.

Some more Home Remedies for healing Wounds and Cuts:

1. Garlic


Garlic has long been known for its antimicrobial and antibacterial capabilities, which can help halt bleeding, relieve pain, and promote healing. 

Garlic, in fact, strengthens the body's natural defenses against illness. Apply a few crushed garlic cloves to the cut if it is bleeding.

2. Honey

Applying honey to an exposed wound helps dehydrate microorganisms and keeps diseases at bay. 

Honey is widely known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. Apply honey straight to the wound on a regular basis.

3. Limestone

Limestone powder, also known as chuna, has therapeutic powers and is widely used in paan. 

All you have to do is heat some turmeric and chuna and apply the mixture to the wound. This will aid in the complete healing of the wound.

4. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera contains analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and relaxing qualities that help with healing. In fact, its gel contains phytochemicals that aid in pain relief and inflammation reduction. 

Extract the gel from an aloe vera leaf. Allow the gel to dry on the wound. Warm water should be used to clean the area, and a clean towel should be used to pat it dry.

5. Coconut Oil


Because of its hydrating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial characteristics, coconut oil relieves pain and prevents infection. 

In fact, coconut oil can help prevent scarring. Simply apply this oil to the affected region and cover it with a clean towel. At least 2-3 times per day, reapply the coconut oil.

6. Onion

Allicin, an antimicrobial chemical found in onions, protects wounds against infection. 

Simply combine onion and honey in a blender to produce a paste. Apply it immediately to the wound to speed up the healing process.

First Aid Tips For Babies In Case Of A Cut or Scrape:

Is your child cut or scraped? You can treat his/her sensitive skin quickly with these first aid techniques.

1. Apply Pressure on the Cut


Calm your child and let him know you're there to help.

Baby skin is incredibly vascular, with many little blood veins near the surface, so don't be alarmed if cuts bleed profusely. 

"Hold firm pressure directly over the region with a clean cloth for 15 minutes," explains Kristina Collins, M.D., dermatologic surgeon at Vitalogy Skincare in Austin, TX. If the bleeding does not cease at that point, get medical attention.

2. Cleanse the wound

Allison Hanlon, M.D., a Yale School of Medicine surgeon and assistant professor in the department of dermatology, recommends gently cleaning the region with a non-fragranced soap or non-soap cleaner and water. 

If debris remains in the wound following this procedure, see your doctor.

Dr. Hanlon also warns against using hydrogen peroxide to clean: "It is widely assumed that using hydrogen peroxide will prevent infection and aid in wound healing. 

Hydrogen peroxide can actually be detrimental to the healthy cells needed for the wound to heal," he warns.

3. Treat the Cut

Apply antibacterial ointment to the affected region.
Allow the wound to heal in the open air if it is mild and unlikely to become unclean.

If the wound is likely to become unclean because it is on the hands or feet, cover it with a bandage during the day and let it dry naturally at night. 

Keep an eye out for signs of infection, such as redness or discharge.
