I would like to share with your members my experience of a treatment for bed sores.For those suffering from bed sores, try this very simple, efficacious and cost effective remedy that has worked wonders with my 95 year old mother who is bed-ridden.

As soon as you notice an inflammation on the skin that could lead to a bed sore, apply a mixture of pure glycerine and Calendula tincture (available at any homeopathic pharmacy) with a sterilised gauze. To make the mixture add 10 drops of Calendula tincture to a teaspoon of glycerine. Use disposable gloves to prevent infection. The skin will peel off smoothly immediately. Be gentle while rubbing off the dead skin.

If the bed sore is turning into an abscess, clean the wound with Cipladine solution. Then apply Calendula tincture with a sterilised gauze. Finally apply Cipladine ointment on a Steripad, pour glycerine and Calendula mixture on the pad and cover the wound with it. Use non-allergic tape to keep the pad in place. Repeat this procedure every day till the wound is healed. Keep the area dry. Do not let it come in contact with water.

I have been using this treatment on my 95 year old mother who developed gangrene on her right foot after an allopathic treatment of a small gangrene patch that flared and covered her whole foot. We had persisted with allopathic treatment for 8 months which made her attendant, nurse and doctor richer by a few lakhs but made my mother miserable.

I also give a sponge bath to my mother every day using hot water and a soap that contains glycerine, calendula and berberis. Various brands of such soaps are available in homeo pharmacies. I use SBL brand. When I found that this made my mother’s skin soft and glowing and she stopped complaining of severe itching which she earlier used to get when I was using dettol for her sponge bath, I decided to try glycerine and calendula mixture on a small patch of her foot and was amazed at the results. I started using the treatment mentioned above. Within a month 90% of her foot has become normal. I have helplessly watched my mother suffer from bed sores and gangrene. Now with this treatment it is a great pleasure to watch her get back to normalcy. If I had known about this treatment, she could have been spared the pain that she had to endure. I want others to try this treatment which is simple and affordable and hope that others benefit from it as well. I do not know if this treatment will work on diabetic patients
