How to Heal Bed Sores
Bed sores aren't fun for anyone who gets them. In this article you will learn about a few different ways of how to heal bed sores.
Things You'll Need:
Powdered sugar
Bandages
Calendula liquid
Honey
Gauze pads
Cornstarch
Flower of sulfur
Liquid vitamin E
Cotton swab
1
Apply honey onto a gauze pad and then apply it to the bed sore every night. Be sure to change the gauze pad every morning, washing the area gently before applying a new gauze pad with honey. It can take up to two weeks or a little longer to heal.
2
Mix together flower of sulfur and cornstarch. Dust the bed sores lightly with the flower of sulfur and cornstarch mixture. This will help protect the bed sores from becoming infected.
