How to make an antibacterial skin or wound cream (vegan and non-vegan recipe)

Today’s blog post is about how you can make a natural antibacterial cream or lotion for wounds from natural household ingredients, and will feature a vegan as well as a non-vegan DIY recipe. 🙂

All you need is:

• a small jar or other container
• some turmeric powder (Curcuma longa) and
• either coconut oil (for the vegan lotion) or honey (for the non-vegan cream)

Instructions:

Clean your jar, put some coconut oil into it and melt it in a water bath. Alternatively, fill the jar will some honey. Then take some turmeric powder and mix it into the oil or honey and stir well, so that the whole is blended thoroughly.

Your antibacterial lotion or cream is now ready to be applied to skin wounds 🙂 . The medicinal antibacterial properties come from the coconut oil or the honey, both of which have antibacterial and antiviral properties and help the healing process of skin conditions. The turmeric also has great healing properties and will enhance the effect of the coconut oil or honey even further.
