Procedures (protocols) other folks recommend

Anon - My husband had that problem several times (he's paralyzed and in a wheelchair).  The things that we have found to work are comfrey ointment and Golden salve (http://www.equinoxbotanicals.net/products.html).  They (sores) were horrible, and those two ointments cleared things up in days. Toughened his skin up, too.  No sores in almost 18 months!

Anon - Here is a blend that I have used successfully for pressure ulcers.

Blend powdered comfrey leaves and slippery elm and virgin organic coconut oil in equal parts to make a paste. (blend #1) Put this paste on piece of gauze and tape it to the sore overnight.  Every three days apply pressure sore blend #2 at least twice daily…

Pressure ulcer blend #1

1 tlbspn comfrey leaves

1 tblspn slippery elm

1 tblspn OVCO (organic virgin coconut oil)

 

Pressure ulcer blend #2
