Collection: Pressure Ulcers
What are Pressure Ulcers?
Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores or pressure sores, are injuries to the skin and underlying tissue caused by prolonged pressure on the skin. They often develop on areas with bony prominences such as the hips, heels, elbows, and lower back, especially in individuals who are bedridden, immobile, or have poor circulation.
If left untreated, pressure ulcers can become painful, infected, and slow to heal, affecting quality of life and increasing the risk of further complications.
Symptoms of Pressure Ulcers
Redness or discoloration of the skin
Swelling, tenderness, or warmth in the affected area
Skin that feels softer or firmer than surrounding tissue
Open sores, blisters, or ulcers that may ooze pus
Pain or sensitivity in the area
Fever (if infection is present)

Natural Ways to Prevent and Support Healing of Pressure Ulcers
Change positions regularly – Repositioning reduces pressure buildup and prevents further breakdown of the skin.
Use cushions and pressure-relieving surfaces – Special mattresses and cushions help distribute weight more evenly.
Clean and moisturize the skin – Keep the affected area clean and hydrated with natural skin balms or gentle herbal rinses.
Eat nutrient-rich foods – Protein, vitamin C, zinc, and omega-3s are essential for skin repair and immune strength.
Stay hydrated – Hydration supports skin elasticity and tissue healing.
Promote circulation – Light massage around the area (not directly on the sore) can encourage blood flow.
Support immune health – A strong immune system helps the body repair damaged tissues and fight infection.
