Treat Wounds Sweetly

I have mentioned sugar as a treatment substance for wounds. Another excellent treatment substance for many wounds is honey.
It has been used as an excellent dressing for burns, ulcers, and open wounds. It has been used successfully to treat burns, amputations, bedsores, leg ulcers, surgical wounds, and a variety of trauma wounds, including cuts, abrasions, puncture wounds and gunshots.

For deeper wounds and abscesses, honey has been used to fill the cavity after it has been cleaned.

Bleeding First Aid

If you or another is bleeding in a way that seems to be leading to serious blood loss or just a big mess, here are seven ways you might try to control it:
1. direct pressure on wound
2. pressure wraps
3. icing the area
4. elevating the wound above heart
5. apply a product call Bleed-X or TraumaDEX
6. apply corn-starch directly in the wound and cover with a wrap
7. sugar use as the cornstarch above does a good job of staunching the flow and also acts as a bit of a disinfectant.
8. honey may flow into deep and large and deep wounds to staunch bleeding and also be a better anti-biotic than is sugar
Each of the acts should be considered short term. All wounds should
cleaned and disinfected. Deeper or more serious wounds should be treated by a physician or surgeon.
