Using Beeswax, Olive Oil and Centaury Oil for Pressure Ulcers

Abstract

ABSTRACT When soft tissues are exposed to pressure, ischemia occurs. If the pressure becomes continuous, necrosis starts in the subcutaneous tissue and gradually progresses to the surface and finally the skin is affected. Different methods are used in the treatment of pressure ulcers. As in all the other fields of health, observation is very important in the care and monitoring of a wound. In this case report, the effect of beeswax, olive oil and centaury oil on wound healing is presented in a 24-year old patient with hypoxic brain with a 3rd degree pressure.
