Reasons Not to Use Hydrogen Peroxide on Cuts

When it comes to the reasons why wounds should not be treated with hydrogen peroxide, people often use hydrogen peroxide to treat wounds. However, this is not a good strategy, and there are various reasons.

First of all, hydrogen peroxide has strong oxidizing properties. Although it seems to be able to clean away the filth of the wound when it is first used, it can watch the white foam gush up, as if it is clean. However, this strong oxidizing property also damages the newly formed cells in the wound. The skin is damaged, and the cells have already been injured, and they need to rest and recuperate in order to recover their essence. And the oxidizing effect of hydrogen peroxide makes the new cells invade and delays the healing of the wound. For example, if you build a chamber, you can start the base site, and external forces disturb it, how can the chamber be solved quickly?

In the second case, the use of hydrogen peroxide on the injured area often exacerbates the pain. The nerve endings in the injured area have been exposed and are very sensitive to stimulation. When hydrogen peroxide touches, it causes severe pain, and the injured are miserable. And excessive pain, or cause the injured person to be physically and mentally nervous, and the qi and blood are reversed, which is also unfavorable to the recovery of the injury.

Furthermore, modern medical research shows that the human body's own defense mechanism has its own set of repair methods for the injured area. The crusts formed by the injury are like a shield, protecting the tissues within from the re-invasion of external evil and creating a suitable environment for the repair of cells. The use of hydrogen peroxide may destroy the formation of this crusts, so that the injury is re-exposed to the outside world, increasing the risk of infection.

In addition, the frequent use of hydrogen peroxide can easily cause the flora of the injury to be unbalanced. On the surface of human skin, the inherent flora coexist, restricting each other and maintaining ecological balance. Although the strong bactericidal properties of hydrogen peroxide can remove harmful bacteria, beneficial bacteria are also harmed by it. If the flora is unbalanced, harmful bacteria may take advantage of it to cause more serious infections.

To sum up, for the treatment of injuries, we should discard the method of hydrogen peroxide and seek scientific and appropriate solutions to promote their quick recovery and protect their health.
