Guest guest Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 A cut on my finger, a bad cut! Was healing for a few days then it got angry red within a 1/4 inch of the cut,-- (25 mm) I tried poultices of fresh garlic, Honey, and coconut oil on different days .. At the same time I increased all the vitamins and other stuff I take by mouth.. It slowly got better --I do not know what helped the best, but it is still red and I plan to do another honey trial or other poultice tomorrow. WHAT do you guys recommend.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 --- Lorenzo, See if you can get hold of some manuka honey, it's from New Zealand but widely available, if it don't do the job - you can always have it on toast ! p.s. it's not cheap ...

Good for drawing gunk to the surface. Good for deep bruises. Good for infections. Grated carrot pultice. Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2002 Report Share Posted December 1, 2002 Hello Lorenzo, An old fashioned English remedy is to use a paste of Magnesium Sulphate (I think this is Epsom Salts) which will draw out the infection I've used it for a splinter that had gone septic and it worked well. Ti -tree essential oil is good for all infections and you can just dab it on neat.
