I am too old for this... I was just sweeping in the garden, helping my mom and I suddenly tripped on the cement. boo hoo, now i have wounds everywhere... i am still as clumsy as i was when i was a kid. I got bruises on my leg and a huge wound on my knee - it still wet from i don't know what, looks like honey (sorry for the mental picture) does anyone know how to treat wounds fast? mom says put antibiotic powder on it or alcohol

I use on my3rd degree burn guava leaves, boil it and the water from it wash your wound especially if it is opened or you wish to have faster pressed the lukewarm leaves on your wound. It does not hurt at all. If it worked on my 3rd degree burn it will work on your open wound

Yes you need to take some antibiotics too to avoid any infection in that wound .

@amnabas Guava leaves has antibiotic properties and even anti-inflammatory. I did not use anything except that and one month it was healed.

@Tita417 that sounds very painful to me, since even if i just use tap water the wound stings for a long time

I would pour a bit of hydrogen peroxide on it, as it cleans the wound. Then just bandage it up. You can also apply antibiotic ointment to the wound before bandaging. Within a day or two it shouldn't need to be bandaged any longer unless you have a job where you need to stoop or kneel, but hopefully that isn't the case until the knee heals. You don't need antibiotic pills, unless it gets infected and that shouldn't happen from a flesh wound if kept clean and dry. God made our bodies to heal, so it will heal faster than it appears now. At first i thought you were saying you're too old to treat a flesh wound.

If you have an aloe plant use this. The thick liquid in the plant is perfect for this.

@lady1993 It's basically the only plant that I ever use to heal things with. It's a great plant or you can buy it in the store if you don't want to use the plant. Buy some pure aloe jell in the store.
