Turmeric Is Believed to Be an Excellent Natural First Aid Alternative

(Newswire.net — May 10, 2017) Orlando, FL — First aid kits are widely available in the market today. However, for individuals who prefer to use safe and natural alternatives, they may directly go to their kitchen.

Turmeric is believed to be an excellent natural first aid alternative. Minor cuts and wounds can happen at any time, especially when chopping vegetables or gardening. Before visiting a healthcare provider, people usually use first aid. It is imperative that cuts and wounds get first aid treatment to reduce the risk of infections and other complications.

“Turmeric is one of the ancient spices that could be an excellent first aid treatment,” said Divine Bounty spokesperson, Melissa Scott.

This spice contains a variety of unique ingredients and is believed to offer anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, antibiotic, and anti-carcinogenic properties.

The first thing to do after an injury is to stop the bleeding of cuts and wounds. To do this, clean up the wound with water or hydrogen peroxide to eliminate any external material, which can cause infection.

When the wound has already been cleaned up, turmeric should then be applied to it. This may help to stop the bleeding faster. When turmeric powder falls off the wound naturally, it can be reapplied again.

Turmeric may also be utilized for rashes and bruises, which may not bleed but can lead to infections. Infections from the rash may potentially be prevented through the use of turmeric powder.

Insect and scorpion stings are not just painful but may even lead to fatal consequences. In many Indian villages where doctors are not typically available, stings are treated locally. The use of turmeric has been a popular method to treat the bitten area as it may help to control the possible inflammation and may also potentially serve as an antidote to counteract the poison.

The remarkable anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric are also believed to be helpful in controlling swelling as well as the pain caused by sprains. It can be applied over the affected area but can also be taken internally.

Ingestion of turmeric is believed to be effective in speeding up the healing process. Turmeric powder can be consumed in a tea form, but it can also be added to a wide range of dishes.

This ancient spice can also be consumed through supplementation. Today, there are many supplements available in the market, the most popular of which contain higher levels of curcumin and its unique properties.

Curcumin supplements are widely used by individuals who seek to improve their overall health condition. There are also those who use this supplement to possibly reduce the symptoms caused by diseases or disorders that impact their lives.
