Ayurvedic Treatment for Skin Cuts, Tears & Non-healing Wounds

While in a rush of attending your best friend’s marriage you suddenly slip off and all you find is red marks all over your skin. The day you thought you would look the best, turned out to be a disaster it seems. Bruises all over! It’s high time you do something to clear it off. Being sick isn’t one’s choice but in the rush of your daily routine, you get not to take care of your body. You fall, you meet with an accident or you get injured. The skin tissue gets abrupted and develops changes in it in the form of breaks.

The outer space:skin

Being the largest organ of the body, skin is a thin, delicate membrane made off three layers with each of its layers performing different functions of the body. It covers the outer body and protects the tissues.

How does tear/injury happen

How does it feel when your chicken steak falls out of your well-plated burger? Clumsy right! The same happens when one layer of skin separates from others. It causes a discontinuity in the normal lining of the skin. It may be acute or complex depending on the underlying structures involved. Ulcers, wounds, burns, cuts can all cause a break in the normal epithelium of the skin.

  1. Trauma/injury
