Small cuts and scrapes happen all the time. For the must part they don't require any treatment arty all. Just make sure to clean them well and bandage so that they don't get infected, and you should be just fine.
But if you want to help stop the bleeding and prevent infections from happening, you have a number of natural choices to help with just that.
The most common choice is lavender oil. You can pick up a bottle at any pharmacy.
You can put the oil directly on an open cut.
Another choice you can use is aloe Vera. Aloe is a super easy to grow cactus, and it's sticky juice is great for almost all skin problems.
Just break off a thick leaf and apply the juice to the cut.
Here is a great first aid herbal formula to help stop bleeding.
Grind into a powder equal part of the following herbs: yarrow leaf, calendula petals, and echinacea leaf. When needed sprinkle the powder directly on the open wound to help stop the bleeding. Obviously this shouldn’t be your plan for serious bleeding but it’s a great fix for all basic cuts.
