What is Bed Sores?

Also called: Pressure Sores, Decubitus Ulcers, Pressure Ulcers

Bed sores or pressure sores are sores which are formed on the skin in bed ridden patients who are unable to change their position on their own. Pressure ulcers or Decubitus ulcers are formed in areas such as ankles, back, elbows, heels and hips where the bones are close to the skin. Continuous pressure on such points of the body lead to the formation of bed sores or pressure sores. Pressure ulcers or Bed Sores can become infected by pathogens and can lead to septicemia.

Bed sores or pressure sores can be prevented by: Keeping skin clean and dry, changing position of the immobile patient every two hours, using pillows and water bed which relieves pressure. Pressure sores or bed sores are treated with topical ointments or microbicidal creams if there is a secondary infection.

Tamir Goren "When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering. After an excessive research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work! She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass? And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
