Healing the Perinium

Comfrey Leaf infusion builds new cells and relieves pain. You can also use this herb in a sitz bath or in a poultice with slippery elm.

Sitz Bath Herbs - Comfrey Leaf, Rosemary, Goldenseal, Witch Hazel, Myrrh, Lavender, Yarrow.

Aloe Vera Gel fresh from the plant. Make a poultice by scooping the gel onto a cloth pad and holding it against the tear. This heals, cools and relieves pain. Re-apply when pain returns.

Slippery Elm Bark paste mixed up from slippery elm water, olive oil or vitamin e oil from the capsules (don't use cream). This concotion binds torn tissue together, relieves pain and reinforces the skin. Add comfrey root to this to speed healing.

Vitamin E oil (use pure oil) promotes scar free healing, and is usually best used after the tear has closed or on the third day of a sutured wound. Make sure you clean the area regularly as the oil will attract dirt.

Get some sap from any tree. The tree sap in this formula is what seals the wound. The tree sap is part of the tree's immune system. When the tree is cut, the tree uses the sap to seal the wound and kill bacteria.

It is supposed to work the same when we use it to fill cuts. If you don't have a tree around that has been injured and has sap flowing out, make a cut on a healthy tree yourself and collect the sap. Keep some around for the winter time when the sap is not flowing and you cannot
collect it fresh.

Now, you can choose to mix with the sap equal parts of whatever antiseptic herbs you have lying around: goldenseal, echinacea, tea trea oil, garlic. If you can't get fresh tree sap, try to purchase some myrrh gum. Whether you mix the herbs with the sap or not, you need to dowse the cut with an antibiotic tincture made with equal parts of these herbs before you put on the sap.

Now if the sap is hard, you must mix it with Baccardi's 151 Rum. You will need alcohol this strong to dissolve the tree sap. It will not dissolve unless you have 75% alcohol.

A nurse in England who worked with Dr. Schulze, an MD and master herbalist, said this formula works better for wounds than anything she had seen in 30 years of being an emergency room nurse in Northern Ireland. If you tape shut the wound for 12 hours, it totally seals the wound better than stitches and you won't need anything for infection.

Also, slippery elm bark is spoken of as a "glue." You can make a poultice out of it by mixing slippery elm and whatever other antibiotic herbs you want to add. Slippery elm should be at least 1/3 of your poultice mixture. Add enough hot water to make a gummy, gluey consistency. Besides being a glue, slippery elm draws out poisons, soothes the skin, and reduces inflammation.

Once it dries, it takes a lot of effort to remove it. My source says that if you add a layer or
two of cotton gauze over the poultice and press it in, it will make a cast even an orthopedic surgeon will admire.

Now, I supposed you could just make some of this sticky mixture, glop some on the tear with the edges as close together as possible, and let
it dry.

Of course, if you don't have the other herbs, just the slippery elm and water can be used also.
