. for clean cut injuries I do not
use ointments or mother tinctures, I clean the wound with 6C and dressing
with dilution, application gives me wonderful result. Sometimes I have
sutured the larger cut wounds. No sepsis! Heals quickly!! |

To prevent scarring I prescribe calendula

Hardly there may be a Homoeopathic Practitioner
who has not come across the wonderful results of dressing/fomentation
with Calendula Officinalis. Even Calendula is used in the cosmetic industry
in particular in the shaving creams.

Dr K Srinivasan - Salem In March 1998, a 40 years old male, with swelling in the dorsum of left foot, since three days, came for treatment. Patient was a known diabetic, on oral hypoglycaemic agents. |
| On examination,
Patient looked toxic, the temperature was 104F, Left inguinal lymphnodes
enlarged and tender; Tenderness and warmth over the foot swelling. Random
blood sugar 350mg/dl. I incised the skin and about 300 ml pus drained. Wound cleaned and dressed with gauze soaked in calendula Q every day. Every time insignificant quantity of pus drained. On following days, fever drastically reduced. Inguinal lymph nodes became less prominent and tenderness reduced. The ulcer also healed .The skin around the incision started peeling off and looked angry. The skin became normal after the diluted application of Calendula mother tincture. |
