Re: Cuts & Scrapes (and deeper wounds)

[Guest guest]

Hi Faye, Sorry for getting back to this so late, but am in transition right now. Sounds like you did good. Taking Tonic 2-3 times a day is good, but how much per dose? I take it that often, about a tablespoon or two a dose, at least three times a day, just for maintainance. I also use Tonic to wash out wounds. As for the Goldenseal, I would make a poultice out of it with extra virgin olive oil (organic cold pressed if possible) before applying, and re-apply every few hours, as is convenient considering what you may be doing at the time. I personally make a Goldenseal/Comfrey salve for just such emergencies. I even use it for chapped hands and lips, for the dry wrinkles around my eyes, etc. Sounds like you are doiong great! Keep it up! Peace, love, laughter Faye

I was helping him before going into work and one was bumped and dropped, point first, about an inch (no kidding) into my leg. By the time I sat down and rolled my pants leg up, my sock was already soaked in blood to the point of getting in my shoe. I was stuck in the calf right under my knee. The lady setting up in front of him saw it and panicked. It really helped that she did. I work in an animal hospital and have learned to deal with owners whose pet has been hurt in a fight or hit by a car. Her panic actually helped calm me down and remember my training. Grabbed my trusty first aid kit, stopped the bleeders and butterflied that puppy shut. Then applied a pressure bandage. I usually take the

super tonic once a day but while I'm healing I've upped it to 2-3 times a day. Is that to much? And my goldenseal is in capsule form, should I put it on dry or wet it with something first? The doctors where I work insisted on me taking antibiotics and gave me 500 mg Cephalexin. I lived through a cleanse once and am in no hurry to repeat it so they are still in the bottle on the shelf.......just in case I guess.faye

Faye,

you can take your super tonic every hour if you have to... did you wash out

our wound? You can use super tonic to do this... I would add the golden seal to

some distilled water and make a paste. Take a week of some immune boosters,

echinacea or astralagus...also.

Thanks, will do the super tonic more often. I washed it very well with what I

had, wasn't at home so did have to use big pharm. surgical cleaner though. When

I did get home it got a good soaking via a wet cloth in the tonic. I was all set

to see stars when hitting an open wound but it didn't sting that bad. Nothing

compared to what I was braced for, lol.

My usual amount is about 2-3 tablespoons daily but Started twice daily

and may even drink more. When I first started taking it I actually cried

because it tasted so bad and was sooooo hot. I'd measure it out and mix

it with water to take. Now I love the way it tastes and even pour

cayenne pepper in/on just about everything we eat. Before, a bell pepper

was spicy to me, lol. When I stated my garden seeds this year, cayenne

was one of the first seeds ordered.
