For some of us, the medicine cabinet is not always full and we often can’t find what we immediately need. Here are 4 ingredients that have healing properties. You definitely have them in your house!

1 – White vinegar:

Normally used as a cleaning product, white vinegar diluted with a little water can disinfect wounds. Apply it directly to the cut with cotton wool and bob’s your uncle!

Honey is very useful for cuts and burns. Applied directly to the skin, it disinfects and helps wounds heal. Cover the wound with cellophane or a cotton compress to keep it in place.

3 – Turmeric

Turmeric has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Applied directly to the skin, it accelerates the healing process.

4 – Cabbage

Surprisingly, cabbage is very effective for burns, eczema or chapped skin, because it cleans and disinfects. Wash the leaves in luke-warm water and flatten them with a rolling pin before placing them on the wound.
