Can Sanhuang Zhenzhu ointment be applied directly to the wound?
Sanhuang Zhenzhu Ointment can usually be applied directly to wounds. Details are as follows:
The main ingredients of Sanhuang Zhenzhu Ointment include sulfur, gamboge, pearl, artificial musk, and others. Sulfur is a toxic substance that, when used externally, has detoxifying and insecticidal effects. Realgar helps promote blood circulation and relieve pain, while gamboge clears heat, detoxifies, reduces swelling, and alleviates pain. Pearl absorbs moisture, promotes ulcer healing, and facilitates tissue regeneration. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and enhances the repair and regeneration of damaged tissues, thereby promoting wound healing. When used together, these ingredients exert effects of reducing swelling, detoxifying, removing necrotic tissue, and stimulating new tissue growth, making the ointment suitable for direct application on wounds.
The medication should be used under the guidance of a physician; self-medication should be avoided to prevent adverse effects. Avoid scratching with hands and maintain cleanliness of the affected area. Pay attention to dietary adjustments by avoiding spicy and greasy foods. Increase intake of foods rich in vitamins and proteins to maintain balanced nutrition. Additionally, appropriate physical exercise may help improve immunity.
