Clean the wound three to four times a day. If the wound is longer than one-half to one inch it may require suturing.
Use one of the following homeopathic remedies to speed wound healing:
Arnica Montana
It may reduce the pain in especially traumatic lacerations. We generally use Arnica for blunt trauma, and it may be helpful in cuts if the cur was from blunt trauma rather than a sharp object.
Calendula officinalis
Use it for shallow wounds, or use it later in wound healing, after the deeper tissue has healed and only skin healing remains. This is true for topical use as well.
As one of the primary remedies for lacerations, Calendula greatly speeds the body’s healing of wounds. It has a reputation for occasionally healing the skin before deeper tissues clean and heal themselves, resulting in an abscess since inflammatory debris (pus) cannot escape.
Carbolic acid
This remedy is useful in wounds that are seriously infected and slow to heal.
Hypericum perforatum
Both topically and in potency, Hypericum is helpful for wound healing. It often reduces the pain of wounds, especially in areas with a lot of nerves such as the toes, tongue, and tail. If the wound is especially painful, consider Hypericum.
Stapbysagria
This remedy is also very helpful for alleviating pain, especially in lacerations from very sharp objects-including surgical wounds.
