A: FROM MENTOR JOAN LUSK. To read Joan's bio. click
here.
I found a couple of web sites looking at "herb"
+ "wound healing",
but I really am not competent to judge their validity. Have
a look at
http://www.gnc.com/health_notes/Concern/Wound_Healing.htm
or http://www.healthwell.com/healthnotes/Concern/Wound_Healing.cfm
this latter site gives a lot of references to research on
the individual herbs.
Then there's this one, trying to sell a "wound care kit":
http://www.woundcarekit.com/
containing herbal root powder from
"100% pure wild American golden seal (hydrastis canadensis)"
- but
also containing hydrogen peroxide, which ought to prevent
infection... It would be an interesting research project for
you to
follow up on one of the herbs and see what evidence there
is that it
is safe and effective. I haven't even looked to see if the
second
site above mentions hydrastis canadensis, but that (and searching
on
the name) would be a way to start. Happy sleuthing! Could
you let
me know what you find?
