venous leg ulcer

[emrene12@gmail.comStudent]

A friend of mine has venous insufficency and has a leg ulcer that is extremely painful. Doesnt seem to be infected but does have some dead tissue.

what would you recommend ?

Im kinda thinking for her to get the dead tissue removed and then try healing with herbs from that point on ?

Hops in tincture form diluted for pain

lymphatic support internally to help decrease swelling overall and fluid build up

calendula/marshmallow /plaintain mixture in either poultice form or in a cold infusion tea that  would then soak in dressing and wrap? If so how long do you think it should be resting on the wound to air ratio

I know wounds need air and moisture

marshmallow for soothing the tissues /prevent tissue death

calendula vulnerary and antimicrobial

plaintain to hep drainage and pull any possible infection

I am not sure about using comfrey but may be able to add that in later

Also what are your thoughts on manuka honey and colloidal silver for this typer of wound?
