Turmeric not only relieves inflammation to help with pain, but also aids in healing in many ways. First, it’s a natural anti-bacterial food, so it will help fight bacteria that are found on the skin when you have a wound and prevent bacteria from entering the body via the wound opening. Turmeric also helps clot the blood, so it will prevent the wound from bleeding further.

Last, it helps the wound heal and treats the skin, so there will be little to no scarring and the skin will stay protected.
While some chemical-based creams could achieve this, you don’t want those chemicals sitting on your skin, since they travel to the bloodstream and end up circulating through your blood to your organs. Turmeric, however, is great for your whole body, which makes it an excellent topical medication.
You can also mix turmeric with coconut oil instead of water for your paste for more healing and anti-bacterial benefits, or apply it as a face cream/mask to reduce acne, redness or scars. Keep a small container of coconut oil and turmeric in your bathroom separate from those in your kitchen so you’re all set to go. Your skin (and body) are gonna love you for it!
