Mark's Daily Apple Thursday, December 1, 2022 11:12 AM Wound healing is an impressive process when you stop to think about it. You're creating new tissue from scratch. You're laying down skin, repairing damaged blood vessels, recruiting dozens of immune system mediators to show up to the job site and remake the wounded area. And in most instances, you do a great job of it. The bleeding stops, the wound heals, no scar forms, and the damaged tissue looks and performs as good as new. Remarkable. But you don't have to leave it to chance. It turns out that there are many natural ways to heal a wound fast. Note: these are recommendations for minor wounds you can treat at home. If your wound exhibits any of the following characteristics, consider medical attention: Jagged or irregular cuts that may not heal without stitches Gaping openings that won't stop bleeding Extreme pain Foreign objects Signs of infection (foul odor, pain that doesn't let up, wounds that don't seem to be healing) Animal bites The good news is that most wounds aren't that serious and can be treated well at home. Here's what to do: 1. Do the basics The basics are basics for a reason: they work. Clean the wound, using irrigation (spraying it with water) and an antiseptic solution like iodine. Cover the wound with a clean bandage. Contrary to what many people believe, a wound shouldn't "dry out." That just makes it more painful and slows the healing process. A wound should be covered and kept moist. Change the bandage when you need to. Wait for it to heal. Those are the basics, but there's a lot more you can do to speed up the process. 2. Eat more protein How the body responds to a severe burn is an extreme display of how the body responds to wounds in general. It goes into metabolic overdrive, and one of the most important nutrients supporting the metabolic rate during wound or burn healing is protein. You can make or purchase magnesium chloride oil. To make it, buy magnesium chloride flakes, fill a spray bottle about 3/4 of the way with the flakes, and cover with warm distilled, spring, or reverse osmosis water. Shake to dissolve, then apply it to your skin. It may sting a bit, especially on the wound, but it should assist in healing. 5. Swim in the cold ocean Now, the warmer and more brackish the water, the more likely it is that flesh-degrading bacteria inhabit it. The bacteria in question, vibrio vulnificus, thrives in brackish (1-2% salinity) water warmer than 64°F. So use caution. Anything above 70 degree water I'd avoid with open wounds. But if your ocean is actually cold, like the Pacific on the California coast, and you're actually in sea water (3-5% salinity) rather than brackish (1-2%) water, you're probably safe and in my experience you'll speed up wound healing. I remember doing this as a kid in Maine—just washing my scrapes with cold ocean water. Some of it is probably the … Continue reading "11 Ways to Heal a Wound Fast" The post 11 Ways to Heal a Wound Fast appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple. |
