I found Lavender oil to be useful, but a not particularly powerful
treatment for my foot wound. I have myrrh resins and dissolved it in isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) in which it is fairly soluble. Pine sap is more readily available to most folks and is extremely soluble in isopropanol. Both are powerful antiseptics and can be used to seal a fresh wound in a pinch. With my festering open ulcerous wound the myrrh provoked a response which was not comfortable; though I may have used too much myrrh (a saturated solution). It felt like the sore on my foot was permeated with sap. Sap as you know is sticky. Sticky sappy feet get dirty quickly. That was the biggest drawback - keeping the wound clean. Bandages would adhere to the wound too, which meant tissue damage when I tried to remove the soiled bandages. Ouch. Be gentle with the myrrh dosage. Maybe you could mix the myrrh oils or fine powder with some other healing plant, like maybe, the pulp of aloe??? One recipe I found, called Jerusalem Balsam, was formulated over 250 years ago in the Franciscan Monastery. It is a mixture of three gums (frank, myrrh, and mastic) with aloe. It is anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, and anti-septic. ref: J.Ethnopharmacol, 2005 Oct3;101(1-3):16-26. Moussaieff A, Mechoulam R, et al. |
