What oil is best for bed sores?

Size Of Bed Sores Greatly Reduced

Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.

I had a friend that was 91 years old with a bed sore on his bottom that was the size of a dinner plate. Long story short, the best the medical profession had to offer was for him to walk around without any «drawers» on (kind of like a baby with bad diaper rash).

I was reading the essential oils reference book and it had a recipe for skin ulcers. I blended the recipe, which called for Clove, the Melrose oil blend, Lavender oil and Myrrh and after a little prayer, I threw in some Frankincense.

I actually dumped a bottle of each of the oils all into a half pint canning jar and topped it off with extra virgin organic olive oil. I put it in a spray bottle and it was sprayed on his bottom every time he went to the bathroom.

It took some time, but after about 2 months, the bed sore was smaller than a baseball. I also noticed that the brown color on his legs, due to PAD (peripheral artery disease) was gone and the pigment on his legs was almost back to normal.

Watching his «hiney» and legs clear up was so dramatic, I was completely convinced that essential oils work and are well worth the money.

چکیده: (17434 مشاهده)

مقدمه: یکی از عوارض در بیماران بستری در بخش‌های ویژه، بروز زخم فشاری است. پیشگیری از این عارضه یکی از وظایف پرستاران محسوب می‌شود. هدف از این مطالعه، مقایسه تأثیر ماساژ با روغن زیتون و روغن بادام شیرین در پیشگیری از زخم فشاری در بیماران بستری در بخش آی‌سی‌یو است.
روش‌کار: این پژوهش، مطالعه‌ای از نوع کار آزمایی بالینی تصادفی ‌شده و دوسو کور بود که روی ۹۰ بیمار بستری در بخش آی‌سی‌یوی بیمارستان امام جعفر صادق در شهر میبد انجام گرفت. بیماران به روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند و سپس از طریق تخصیص تصادفی بلوکی در دو گروه آزمون و یک گروه کنترل قرار گرفتند . گروه کنترل فقط مراقبت روتین بخش را نظیر تغییر پوزیشن هر دو ساعت و استفاده از تشک مواج را دریافت می‌کردند. در دو گروه آزمون، علاوه بر مراقبت روتین بخش، نواحی مستعد زخم فشاری به مدت یک هفته، روزانه یک‌بار و هر بار با ۱ الی ۳ میلی‌لیتر روغن زیتون یا روغن بادام شیرین، ماساژ داده می‌شدند. ابزار جمع‌آوری داده‌ها، پرسش‌نامه اطلاعات دموگرافیک و چک‌ لیست مشاهده محل‌های مستعد زخم فشاری با استفاده از معیار برادن بود که قبل و بعد از مداخله در هر سه گروه تکمیل شد. سپس، داده‌ها با نسخه ۱۶ نرم‌افزار SPSS و با استفاده از آزمون‌های آماری همچون کای اسکوئر، تست دقیق فیشر و آزمون تحلیل واریانس تحلیل شدند.
یافته‌ها: گروه های مورد مطالعه از نظر متغیرهای دموگرافیک با یکدیگر اختلاف آماری معنی داری نداشتند. نتایج نشان‌دهنده آن بود که میزان بروز زخم فشاری در گروه‌های آزمون، کمتر از گروه کنترل و در گروه ماساژ با روغن زیتون کمتر از گروه ماساژ با روغن بادام شیرین بود (۰/۰۵ (P < .
نتیجه گیری: پیشنهاد می‌شود ماساژ با این روغن‌ها به عنوان روشی غیرتهاجمی، غیردارویی و ارزان‌ قیمت در کاهش یا پیشگیری از ایجاد زخم فشاری در امر مراقبت از بیماران استفاده شود .

Bedsores

Essential oils can be used as an alternative treatment for a variety of problems — and if looking for a specific problem area please use our search page to find relevant information.

What causes bedsores?

Bedsores or pressure sores are painful places that become ulcerations, occurring on the body where there is constant pressure and irritation.

These sores are usually on the buttocks, heels and elbows of bedridden patients. Turning the patient as often as possible can prevent the sores.

Keep the skin dry, clean, and the blood circulation going.

A massage oil to help with bedsores

A massage oil to use before (and after) sores develop is:

20 ml carrier oil — such as Evening primrose oil
4 drops Wheat germ oil
3 drops Chamomile or Geranium oil
2 drops Lavender oil
2 drops Tea tree oil
2 drops Frankincense oil

All the ingredients are mixed together and massaged very gently into affected areas. If you are faced with a weeping bedsore, do not apply the massage oil.

Please note:

If you have any medical conditions contact your licensed medical practitioner.

The remedies above are for information proposes only, and should not be taken or construed as medical advice.
