How to Heal Cuts Naturally

It's unlikely you'll go through live without getting a cut at some time. But, unless a cut is particularly wide or deep, you can heal it naturally. Some people prefer natural remedies to medicinal ones for different reasons. No matter what your reason is, here is how to heal cuts naturally.

Instructions

• 1

  Make a decision early on if you want to heal the cut naturally. If the wound is very deep or jagged, you might want to seek medical attention instead. A doctor will not be able to stitch your wound if you wait a day or two after you received the cut or cuts.

• 2

  Clean the cut thoroughly by running cool water over the area. Make sure all debris is removed, because any dirt left could lead to infection. Avoid putting anything in the actual cut, but you can use soap and water to clean the area around the cut as well.

• 3

  Apply a natural antibiotic ointment. Many infection-fighting substances occur in nature, such as raw honey, colloidal silver and aloe vera. Chose one and apply it gently to the cut to help the wound heal faster.

• 4

  Cover the cut with something to protect the area. If you have a bandaid, that will work best. But anything to protect the area and keep the natural ointment in place will work.

• 5

  Change the ointment and covering regularly. You want to keep the cut and area around it clean and dry, so change the dressing often. Apply fresh natural ointment each time, at least three times a day.
