Healing Maggot infested Wounds |
|
|
| Details |
Animals having maggots infested, bleeding wounds, suffer from acute pain. To treat such wounds, Narsibhai takes 200 gm of tender branch of kerda (Capparis sp.) and makes a paste by adding castor oil. He applies this paste on the wound twice a day for four days. There are no side effects.
The genus is well reported for its anti-ulcer and would healing properties (Jiang, H. E.; Li, X; Ferguson, D. K.; Wang, Y. F.; Liu, C. J. and Li, C. S. (2007): The Discovery of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparidaceae) in the Yanghai Tombs (2800 Years B.P.), NW China, and its Medicinal Implications, Journal of Ethnophar-macology, 113 (3):409-420). |
