Wheatgrass For Inflammation
The secret of
wheatgrass' efficacy is its wound healing, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties. It can significantly help reduce pain, swelling and inflammation, and check subcutaneous and cutaneous bleeding quickly, thereby
enhancing the natural healing process. The outcome is often very gratifying as clinical improvement is expedited compared with conventional methods of treatment.
This does not mean that standard treatment measures should be ignored, in fact, wheatgrass can often be used in conjunction with other treatments for a better outcome. e.g. with steroid creams in acute dermatitis. Unlike capsaicin and other natural wound healing substances, wheatgrass can safely be applied to open wounds such as lacerations, leg ulcers and burns. Any mild discomfort settles quickly. In infants and children it is probably better to apply wheatgrass around the wound. It still works.
Use sparingly as a little goes a long way. As with any “natural” product, it pays to persist with chronic conditions for at least three months before ceasing treatment.
Abscess
Apply WHEAT GRASS to surface of abscess & wait 10 minutes. This reduces pain of incision. Drain abscess. Apply WG to wound & surrounding inflamed tissues. Do not insert drainage wick. Apply non-stick dressing & moderately firm bandage. Repeat in 24 hours. Pain can cease overnight. Minimal discharge, inflammation & swelling. Drainage wick not required. Wound closure in two or three days usually with daily dressing & WG application. Patient can self-treat with WG & dressing on day 3.
