I have an open wound which I am trying to heal with turmeric paste. I have read the tumeric accelerates healing and prevents infection but I cannot find any extensive information on the proper method for using it.
I have been rinsing off the paste to clean the wound every 24 hours but find it is very difficult to rinse the paste off. It seems to cling to the flesh. If I try to rub it off it is too painful because the wound is open and tender.
When I do the cleaning I also notice some soft white material seems to have grown over parts of the wound. Is this new skin trying to grow over the wound and am I disturbing it by trying to rinse off the paste?
it seems like after every cleaning I end up with a lot more pain radiating from the wound which is making me hesitant to mess with it.
Might it be better if I just leave the paste on until it falls off and don't even bother with the cleanings?
some medical sites that it is optimal to maintain a moist wound bed because this leads to better healing. So I'm wondering if I should try a different aoproach.
Would love to hear from anyone who has had success healing with turmeric paste in the past or who can recommend another method that worked for them.
Thanks!
