Herbs for Cuts and Scrapes

As part of the list of essential herbs to keep on hand in a medicine chest

at home, we can't forget to include the ones that might seem a little

miscellaneous or unimportant. There are a variety of herbs which are quite

handy to have around for any number of reasons though, so we'll cover some of

those here.

One of the number one herbs you should try to always have on hand is called

comfrey. Comfrey

is a regenerative herb. This means it helps your body grow new skin and cells

very quickly. In fact, this herb can often be used in salve or poultice form,

to heal bad cuts, scrapes and other wounds literally almost overnight. This

herb is also excellent to use in poultices designed to help heal broken bones

faster, and it will help heal torn ligaments and tendons when used in poultices

for that as well.

Another excellent and popular herb that's well known is Aloe Vera.

This can be used for a variety of needs including

sunburns, scrapes, cuts and other wounds. Many

people don't realize that aloe vera can also be used to help other medicinal

herbs penetrate the skin too though. One of the biggest strengths of this herb

is its ability to penetrate all layers of the skin. So when it's mixed with

another healing or antibiotic herb for instance, it can help carry the healing

and infection fighting power of that herb underneath the layers of the skin,

and fully penetrate the areas the medicines are needed most.

It's this same property that makes it potentially hazardous when used wrong

though. Many people buy aloe vera in the form of

beauty products. Sunburn lotion is a common

mistake many people make. They buy a product which says it is made with aloe

vera, but they don't read the label and see that the product also contains

perfumes, alcohols, and other chemicals which

could be harmful to the body. And when they put it onto their skin, the aloe

vera helps take all those harmful chemicals deeper into the body, and this can

potentially cause many severe health issues over time.

Slippery Elm

is another useful herb you might want to consider keeping on hand as much as

possible. Slippery elm is a natural food source that can be used in times of

famine or fasting, and it's also an excellent remedy to use for either diarrhea

or constipation

.. Slippery elm is also used in

combination with other herbs for poultices though, because it has a gel like

property which helps hold all the herbs and liquids together better.
