Bed Sores

Bed sores (Shayya-vrana) — caring for someone long in bed.

Food Remedies

Main remedy
Turn position every 2 hours, keep skin dry, air the back, protein-rich food; deep or blackened sores need surgical debridement — doctor immediately.
प्रोटीन-युक्त भोजनशहददूधमूँग दाल
प्रोटीन-युक्त भोजन · Protein-rich food
Wounds heal on protein — moong, paneer, milk, eggs (if taken); vitamin-C fruits daily.
Traditional
शहद · Honey
Classical ghee-honey dressing on clean shallow sores (nurse-guided) — Sushruta's vrana line.
Traditional
दूध · Milk
A glass of milk twice a day — a pressure sore will not close without protein, and milk is the easiest thing to get into someone who is bedbound. Turning every two hours still does the most.
Traditional
मूँग दाल · Moong dal
Thin moong dal soup twice a day — light protein that a weak digestion still accepts, and healing skin runs on protein.
