When dealing with deep cuts special care should be taken, as they are more susceptible to infection.
This has to do with the fact that the injury does not always bleed or allow oxygen to enter the wound to eliminate infection. All cuts should be treated quickly as if left untreated, blood poisoning could become prevalent. If in doubt - please consult your emergency room IMMEDIATELY.
Bacteria such as tetanus spores that enter the cut from dirty objects cause infections. Tetanus is a life-threatening condition that is also known as lockjaw, because of the severe and painful muscle spasms that it causes throughout the body.
Wash and clean the cut carefully using 500 ml water to which you added 4 drops Lavender oil, 2 drops Tea tree oil and 1drop of Eucalyptus oil.
Lemon juice can be used as an emergency wound sterilizer although it stings.
When scabs form, let them dry and do not peel them off. You can clean the scab gently (without upsetting it) twice a day with Calendula oil.
