Hi Toni,

It is possible that there could be a piece of glass in there still.

Unless you carefully cleansed and thoroughly checked the wound prior to

bandaging or whatever you might have left something in there. Could also

be that you knicked the knuckle too. I have done the same thing myself

and suffered as you are now. Since the wound is now closed you will need

to use something that will pull and help reduce the infection. The

infection is a good thing, believe it or not, as this is the bodies way

of dealing with debris, toxins, etc. They help clean up the area and can

affect repairs.

Some DMSO will assist in getting the infection down as will a poultice

of comfrey leaves or a drawing salve. Here is an Rx that may be of use

in helping to assist this. My only suggestion for it is to add some DMSO

to it, if you have it. Yes it is predominantly for fresh wounds, and

works very very well too I might add, but it should also help in this

instance as well.

Don's Torn Tissue Repair Powder

1 part Comfrey leaf powder (Symphytum officinale)

1 part Burdock root powder (Arctium lappa)

1 part Myrrh gum powder (Commiphora molmol)

1 part Cayenne powder (Cayenne species)

2 - 4 drops Benzoin resinoid

Make certain the wound is thoroughly cleansed before applying this poultice. It

will heal very quickly and any dirt will be sealed inside.

Mix herbs together and take enough to cover wound with. Add just enough

distilled

water to the herbs to make a paste and then add the benzoin. Apply to the wound

and cover with a clean bandage. Depending on the severity of the wound it should

be changed a minimum of twice a day morning and night. Otherwise at least three

times a day for really bad wounds.

To remove the previous poultice use only warm distilled water and allow wound to

soak, if possible, or just gently sponge till poultice softens and comes off.

This is a very good blend for any type of torn flesh. The cayenne will stop the

bleeding, the Burdock and Comfrey will help the wound to heal and the Myrrh will

not only take away the pain but will help to keep down infection too. The

Benzoin will help with scarring.
