Turmeric Water And Powder First Aid Kit Would Dressing

I've been relying on an anti-septic strategy for wound care for several years now based on a combination of turmeric powder mixed with water, and turmeric powder on it's own. For cuts, blisters,scrapes, burns, bruises, splinters, rashes, and pretty much any other non-emergency skin issues I've had great luck so far. Typically if anything breaches the skin, the first thing I'll do is clean the wound with well filtered water and/or a bit of alcohol or soap if needed, then once any dirt and debris is cleared, I'll apply some liquid turmeric and water solution, followed by a bit of dry turmeric powder, I'll then wrap gauze and use medical tape to hold it in place. I know many people who do serious landscaping work and they just don't care to bother with treating small wounds. I on the other hand have learned the hard way enough times that almost any breach of the skin that I'm aware of will get some kind of treatment. I've let a few things go unattended and even if they don't get infected, they always take longer to heal and get agitated and even reopened after partially scabbing if I don't dress them.

I'd rather take the time to clean, disinfect, medicate, and dress a wound that have to deal with it getting more and more painful as it bumps into things, goes in and out of pockets, gets slept on wrong, etc. Therefore I have a box of gauze and medical tape, and jars of turmeric powder. I have other means of sterilization of instruments such as alcohol, vinegar, torch lighters, etc, but for small wounds, I've done fine with turmeric both as a solution and as a powder. In the summer I get a lot of rashes from the inevitable long hours spend laying in a makeshift medical tent in the heat of the day. I have to rotate a lot and maintain keen awareness of the integrity of my skin. During these times I find myself applying a lot of the turmeric solution in water to spot treat rashes. Needless to say, I have a lot of bright orange linens.
