Why You Want to Avoid Common Wound Care Ointments (and the Natural Wound Care that Belongs on Everyone's Shelf!)

by BodyEcology.com
 

Are you looking for natural wound care solutions for yourself and your family? Whether for cuts and scrapes or more serious conditions like psoriasis or diabetic ulcers, you owe it to yourself to find out why typical antibacterial ointments are risky and don’t stack up to natural wound care solutions.

“I want something natural in my medicine cabinet for myself and my kids.”

Whether camping, playing outdoors, chopping veggies in the kitchen or even the natural process of aging, we all experience wounds from time to time. Often, wounds are the result of a trauma or emergency and you want something quick and convenient -- yet also safe and natural – to help your body heal quickly.

But did you know that most of the wound care products on the market today work against your immunity and long-term healing?

At Body Ecology, we teach you how to tap into your body’s natural immunity for health and longevity. So how do you do this when it comes to wound care?

Who’s Most Susceptible to Wounds?

While you’d think kids are most susceptible to wounds while running and playing outdoors, adults are just as susceptible, if not more so.  

Wounds or sores, like the following, are a common occurrence:

And yet, many people do not know how to treat wounds effectively.

Still, whether child or adult, it’s important to treat your wound effectively to speed up healing and avoid bacterial infection.


Healing Wounds and Preventing Bacterial Infection

Caring for your wounds effectively is important because all wounds are exposed to bacteria, which can cause bacterial infection. For this reason, a lot of people think the answer is antibiotic ointments, however, these antibacterial ointments can create more problems.

According to Gerald Lazarus, MD, professor of dermatology and director of the Johns Hopkins Wound Center, many people end up using the wrong antibiotic, which can breed bacterial resistance and cause contact dermatitis.[1]

Dr. Lazarus says that Gentamycin cream is an example of an antibiotic ointment that can breed resistance and cause contact dermatitis, thus slowing wound healing.[2]  

Additionally, Dr. Lazarus warns that many people are allergic to antibacterial ointments, with Neosporin being the most common allergen and Bacitracin showing up high on the list as well.[3] 

Antibiotic ointments may seem like the answer to prevent bacterial infections, but they carry big risks, such as: bacterial resistance, inflammation from allergens and contact dermatitis…all of which slow the healing process.  

On top of that, most of the antibiotic ointments on the market contain toxins, like petrolatum, which disrupts your normal skin respiration by blocking oxygen.

According to the EPR Center for the Study of Viable Systems at Dartmouth Medical School, “Oxygen is perhaps the most important variable in the healing of wounds, as has been shown empirically in patients and more specifically in animal models.”[4]

The risks form antibacterial products seem to far outweigh the potential benefits.

But the good news is, there are solutions for natural wound care!
