Yet another use for virgin coconut oil: effective, ouchless topical first aid! ⛑️
🧼 Especially for kids, VCO can be an ouchless alternative for wound cleaning, especially when the lesion is fresh and painful. When pain subsides, do a thorough washing with Superwash and clean water.
🩹 After washing, repeat VCO and add Boo-Boo Balm then bandage. Practice proper wound care (re-dressing; see a doctor if signs of infection appear) as normal.
🦠 Why it works? Evidence-based studies on the efficacy of coconut oil (and its derivatives) on many types of microorganisms abound. Coconut oil works by physical destruction of the microbe and does not yet have reports of increasing tolerance to treatment or affecting your skin’s natural microbiome. The fact that it doesn’t sting or stick to bandages is another plus!
