Cuts & Wounds

Natural superfoods offer a promising avenue for wound healing, backed by their antimicrobial properties and biological mechanisms. Honey, for instance, inhibits bacterial proliferation through its high sugar concentration and enzymatic hydrogen peroxide production (Molan, 1992, Journal of Wound Care). Curcumin in turmeric also displays antimicrobial traits (Tejada et al., 2016, Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology). As supported by animal studies, Gotu Kola accelerates wound closure and boosts collagen synthesis (Somboonwong et al., 2012, Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine). Additionally, vitamin C-rich foods facilitate collagen synthesis, which is crucial for wound repair (Pinnell, 1985, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). Utilizing these superfoods can offer a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to wound care.
