ECHINACEA: ARE HERBS SAFE TO PUT DIRECTLY ONTO A WOUND?
You may be thinking - "Would I really want to powder Echinacea or another washed and dried herb root, and pour it on to an open wound? Sounds crazy. You'd get an infection!@ All I can say is - I've done it many times, and never had a problem!

If I had a wound I wouldn't hesitate to pour Echinacea onto it and bandage it on. I would probably combine it with a couple of other herbs - Garlic and Cayenne pepper would be good, and both are easily available. The proportions of around six parts of Echinacea angustifolia to one each of the other two herbs would be fine. To make the mixture more mobile, it could be mixed into a chemical-free ointment (such as Comfrey Ointment), or even mixed with some Olive Oil.


I would probably use a low-aroma variety of garlic powder in this mixture - though any garlic would do well. Cayenne pepper is the type sold at any grocer or supermarket; though from a herbal supplier, it will be fresher.

I have used a mixture like this on open wounds on a number of occasions. In all cases when I have used it, healing has been fast and sure. I have never used antiseptic ointment, or any other drugs in such cases, and would not dream of doing so.

In one case - with the addition of some Comfrey Root powder to the mix (comfrey stimulates natural cell growth) - a chunk of thumb which had been sliced off with a craft knife (painful!) completely re-grew within six weeks. This was after a hospital had tried - unsuccessfully - to sew the said piece of thumb back on. After the six weeks, healing was complete. Scarcely any scar tissue was - or is visible!

It is recommended that the herbal dressing - which is bandaged on -should be changed daily. But I know of one case where this was not done (where a finger was cut through to the bone) - and the healing was still sure, fast and effective! (I recommend more careful attention - this person was just a 'bad' patient!)
