Common Homeopathic Medicines
CALENDULA (Marigold)
CALENDULA TINCTURE (in an alcohol base), GEL, SPRAY, and OINTMENT are external applications in treating cuts and abrasions. CALENDULA is known to have antiseptic properties due to its organic iodine content. It helps stop bleeding, inhibits infection, and promotes granulation of tissues to help heal wounds and burns.
CALENDULA TINCTURE should not be applied directly on a cut since its alcohol content causes stinging pain. It is best to dilute this tincture with a little water. To avoid this effort, directly apply CALENDULA GEL, SPRAY, or OINTMENT.
Note: CALENDULA works so rapidly in healing the skin that it is not recommended for use in deep cuts. In deep cuts it can close and heal the outside skin before the tissue underneath is completely healed. (access the original article here…)
