Weleda Calendula-Essenz - First aid for open wounds
- Promotes wound healing
- Regenerates the skin
- Inhibits inflammation
- With ingredients from the whole arnica plant
Weleda Calendula-Essenz is used for cleaning and first aid for bleeding wounds. If the edges of the wound are worn or the wound is oozing and healing poorly, Weleda Calendula-Essenz acts in an anti-inflammatory and decongestant manner. It inhibits the growth of inflammatory agents and promotes the formation of new tissue. In this way, it stimulates wound healing. In cases of inflammation of the gums or oral mucosa, diluted Weleda Calendula-Essenz acts as a cleansing and healing mouthwash.
WOUND CARE
Initial medical attention for open wounds should, after cleaning, prevent or inhibit inflammation, relieve pain, and prevent the growth of germs and bacteria in the wound. It is necessary to stimulate the skin's metabolism to favor the formation of new skin tissue.
What can you do yourself?
- Always clean wounds immediately and thoroughly to prevent inflammation.
- To clean and cover, use only lint-free materials, such as gauze, gauze pads, or, if necessary, a clean cloth handkerchief.
- Let abrasions air dry after cleaning until a scab forms.
- Do not apply ointment to fresh wounds.
- When covering cuts or lacerations, ensure that the edges of the wound are as close together as possible.
- In case of heavy bleeding, apply a compressive bandage, for example, with the help of a rolled-up compact gauze.
Information about medicinal plants: Calendula
Calendula, also known as marigold, is one of the classic medicinal plants for the treatment of wounds and inflammation for centuries. It inhibits the growth of inflammatory agents and acts deeply in the metabolism. It cleans the wounded area, alleviates inflammatory processes, and promotes the formation of new tissue. Early in the morning, when the dew on the leaves has dried, the open flowers of calendula have the greatest vitality. At this time, Weleda harvests the bright orange flower heads and takes them directly for processing. This ensures that the special healing power of calendula is preserved as completely as possible.
