Abrasion and Scrapes Home Remedies

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0600

No matter how careful you are, it is not always possible to avoid abrasions. However, you can learn how to deal with them quickly, with the help of home remedies.

Listed below are some useful abrasion home remedies that you can undertake when receiving certain wounds.

Cease the bleeding. The first thing that you need to do when receiving an abrasion, is to stop the bleeding. You should do this by applying pressure to the wound with a clean cloth or tissue. If it is possible, lift the wound above the heart in order to slow down the bleeding.

Clean the wound. Cleaning the wound with salted water, or an antiseptic ointment which does not sting, is one of the most important things to do. If the wound is particularly dirty, then rinse first with hydrogen peroxide, as the bubbles contained in this solution will lift out the dirt. However, it is essential that you apply this carefully, as the solution can damage the surrounding skin of the wound.

Use iodine. Iodine is a wonderful solution for minor abrasions as it kills bacteria and viruses effectively.

Skin closure. It is necessary to close the skin in order for it to heal properly and to reduce the chances of scarring. After you have cleaned the wound sufficiently, then close the skin and apply an adhesive bandage.

Covering the wound. In order to keep the wound protected and clean, it is important that it be covered. Plain gauze, Telfa, gauze-type bandage and adhesive bandages can all be used to cover the wound. It is essential to remember not to cover the wound too tightly, as it is important that the wound receives a little air flow.

Ensure cleanliness. Every day, remove the bandage and clean the wound with salt water in order to prevent infection.

Do not allow the wound to dry. Applying an antibacterial ointment every day will prevent the wound from drying out completely. This is necessary to prevent cracking and the tearing of the healthy skin which is surrounding the wound.

Lick the wound. Licking the wound can help to remove contaminants, if you do not have immediate access to salt water or an antiseptic ointment. Licking the wound helps as saliva contains antibacterial agents. However, saliva can also contain bacteria which can cause infection, so be sure to follow this up with an antibacterial ointment.

Do not pick scabs. If the wound forms a scab, it is essential not to pick it, as this can cause bacteria. If the wound does form a scab, then soak it in a solution made of one tablespoon of white vinegar and one pint of water. This solution will help to kill any bacteria present in the wound.

Keep the wound moist at night. Before going to bed, place a little Vaseline onto the wound in order to keep it moist and prevent it from cracking.

Protect the wound from sunlight. It is essential to protect the wound from sunlight during the healing process. Once the wound has almost healed, be sure to use a sun protection factor, minimum SPF 15, to avoid the skin from darkening due to sun exposure.

These particular home remedies will help you for minor abrasions. However, it is advised to seek medical advice, if you receive a deep abrasion.

Belching and Gas Home Remedies

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 00:00:00 -0600

Belching is something which can be suffered by everyone. It is considered to be a compliment after a good meal in some parts of the world.

It is something that comes naturally. Studies have shown that healthy youngsters belch on average 11 times in 20 hours, excluding mealtimes. Belching happens because of the air that is swallowed whilst eating and drinking, which adds to the gas which is already in the stomach.

Soft drinks and beer are almost guaranteed to cause problems. However, saliva contains tiny air bubbles which travel to the stomach every time we swallow.

It is proven that you swallow 5 ounces of air every time you swallow. Therefore, if you are of a nervous disposition, then swallowing can be one of your reflexes. You probably don’t notice it yourself, but ask friends and family to inform you if they see you swallowing more than usual.

There are various belching home remedies available:

Avoid carbonated drinks if possible, as the gas content will cause you to belch.

Eat slowly and chew your food well before swallowing.

Do not chew gum.

Avoid drinking from cans or bottles, use a glass on all occasions, and avoid using a straw.

Avoid high air contents food and drinks, such as beer, ice cream, soufflés, omelets, whipped cream

Avoid overeating and limit high fat content foods to reduce the symptoms of gas.

Avoid gas producing foods, such as beans, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, onions, bananas, apricots, pretzels etc.

Chewing on 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds after each meal can reduce the symptoms of belching.

Mixing a pinch of Asafoetida in warm water and drinking can relieve gas.

By drinking a mixture of ½ teaspoon of dry ginger powder, a pinch of asafoetida and rock salt and a cupful of warm water, you can prevent belching.

Before going to bed, drink 2 teaspoons of brandy mixed with warm water to provide the relief of gas.

Chew on fresh ginger slices which have been soaked in lime juice after every meal.

After each meal, mix a drop of dill oil with a teaspoon of honey and take immediately after eating.

Make a solution of 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of dry ginger and 1 teaspoon of green cardamom seeds. Mix half a teaspoon of this mixture with water and drink one glass of the solution one hour after every meal.

Drink a cup of water which has a pinch of baking powder and lemon juice added.

To receive quick relief from belching, chew a spoonful of celery seeds.

Drinking Chamomile tea helps to improve the digestive system, by expelling trapped gas in the digestive tract.
