Treating Cuts & Wounds with Essential Oils
Essential oils can be a good way to help heal cuts or wounds
faster. If there is severe bleeding, first apply direct pressure to the
wound until the bleeding stops. The wound should then be cleaned with
plain water before treating with essential oil wound treatments.
Initial Treatment of Cuts or Wounds with Essential Oils
For minor surface cuts and wounds, apply 1 – 2 drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil
directly on the wound after it has been cleaned with plain water. Apply
gentle pressure with a clean, sterile cloth (like gauze) until bleeding
stops. Both of these essential oils help speed healing, kill germs, and
reduce pain.
Essential Oil Wound Remedies to Help Prevent Infection & Promote Healing
Our Bruise & Wound Treatment Gel contains rosemary oil, known for its antibiotic and antiseptic qualities, and cypress oil,
which aids in clotting, combined together in comfrey gel, which helps
regenerate tissues. Alternatively, if you already have our Arthritis, Muscle & Joint Pain Treatment Gel, its combination of eucalyptus oil
(also a known for its antibiotic and antiseptic qualities) and cypress
oil, is also effective for treating wounds. Both of these essential oil
natural wound remedies can be applied before you dress the wound.
Scar Prevention Using Essential Oils
Once the wound has sealed shut, you can start using other treatments to prevent scarring. More info about scar treatment and prevention with essential oils.
