In one study, wounds treated with curcumin closed completely within 11 days. Untreated wounds took over twice as long (23 days) to close.6 And a recent animal study found that curcumin boosts levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1. This growth factor helps stimulate the development of new small blood vessels. This in turn, helps build new skin tissue.

I've been using this paste on my family and myself for years: Mix 1-2 tsp ground turmeric with enough water or coconut oil to make a thick paste. Apply the paste to the wound and cover with a bandage. Let sit for at least 12 hours, and up to 24. Do this for three days. To Your Good Health, Al Sears, MD, CNS 1.
