A great strategy to accelerate the healing of wounds and cuts in the skin is to pass oils, slug gel or compresses solutions with healing effect, soothing and anti-inflammatory that can be made at home using natural ingredients available in pharmacies, drugstores or shops of natural products.
1. Mixture of oils
This oil is an excellent option when the wound is superficial and already has a cone, because you should not use this oil if the wound is open, still without a cone, not to infect, or if you have pus. In this case, it should be treated by a nurse who can do the correct cleaning of the wound and the necessary dressing.
Ingredients

- 1 drop of marigold essential oil;
- 1 drop of lavender essential oil;
- 1 drop of rosemary essential oil;
- 1 drop of chamomile essential oil.
Method of preparation
Add all ingredients and shake well until smooth. Store in a tightly closed container in a clean, dry cabinet.
To benefit from its benefits, simply apply a small amount to a cat or dog scratch or bite, for example after about 3 days or when the wound is no longer open, being careful to wash the area with running water and soap, and then make circular movements with the product on top and around the cut or wound. The oil can be used until the wound has completely disappeared.
