My kid has just started walking. .what ointment I should keep as first aid if he falls and get little cut? Kid age 1.5 years.

Question

First of all think positive. Secondly it is nice to have first aid at home. Keep anti septic cream at home. For home remedies pure turmeric + ghee work as excellent antiseptic. Sphatika bhasm (ayurvedic) works well to stop bleeding from cut etc and is anti septic too. If not available in mkt you may prepare yourself. Put the required quantity of phitkari (alum) in a wide-bottomed iron pan. Heat the pan in open air continuously till all the moisture evaporates. Collect the powder at the end. This is sphatika bhasm. Store it in food-grade plastic or glass bottles for future use.
