ABOUT WOUND CARE

–        With each stage that a wound progresses to, skin becomes more and more prone to infection. Moist wounds and dead tissue create a breeding ground for bacteria. Infection poses one of the greatest delays in bedsore healing and is one of the worst complications. Preventing infection is a key step to heal wounds, sores and ulcers. When bacteria spread under the skin and into the soft tissues, the body reacts by creating inflammation.

–         

To speed up wound healing and prevent infection, you need a medical grade solution. Also, it is important to manage skin inflammation throughout the healing process. Inflamed skin is highly fragile and can easily be at risk for secondary infection. Above all, monitor daily progress of the skin to watch for any negative changes so that you can respond quickly.

*5 Main Ingredients make up natural healing properties of MAGIC V

Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Aloe Vera, Vitamin E & Grapeseed Oil

1.  Shea Butter:

Healing Qualities:

Shea butter is known for its healing properties that can be attributed to the presence of several fatty acids and plant sterols such as oleic, palmitic, stearic and linolenic acids. These oil-soluble components do not undergo saponification or convert into soap on coming in contact with alkali. Shea butter is more non-saponifiable than other nut oils and fats, thus imparting it a great healing potential for the skin. Raw, unrefined shea butter is effective in curing skin rashes, skin peeling after tanning, scars, stretch marks, frost bites, burns, athletes foot, insect bites and stings, arthritis, and muscle fatigue.

Antioxidant Qualities:

Shea butter contains plant antioxidants, such as vitamins A and E, as well as catechins. The vitamins A and E protect the cells from free radicals and environmental damage. The cinnamic acid esters in the shea fat help in preventing skin damage from ultraviolet radiation.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties:

Shea butter has several derivatives of cinnamic acid that exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. Research has proved that in addition to its anti-inflammatory benefits, lupeol cinnamate found in shea butter prevents the development of tumors. Its anti-inflammatory properties render it beneficial for the improvement of skin conditions.

Shea butter is considered a super food for the skin as it is  rich in precious constituents such as unsaturated fats with a large proportion of non-saponifiable components, essential fatty acids, vitamins E and D, phytosterols, provitamin A and allantoin. It has been used since time immemorial for skin care, baby care, and for consumption. In fact, the legendary Egyptian queen, Nefertiti, owed her beauty secrets to shea butter, which further demonstrates its goodness for the skin.

Sun Protection:

Shea butter acts as a natural sunscreen by providing protection against the ultraviolet radiations of the sun, though the level of protection offered may be variable. Shea butter is considered as the best skin care for winter and after-sun care as it provides the extra moisture, nutrients and protection needed by your skin during the cold season and summer.

Healing Agent:

Shea butter has amazing healing properties. It is often used as a base in medicinal ointments due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used since ages for the treatment of scars, eczema, blemishes, skin discolorations, chapped lips, stretch marks, dark spots, and in reducing the irritation caused by psoriasis. Due to its high content of vitamin A, it is effective in promoting healing and disinfection, and soothes skin allergies like poison ivy and insect bites. Vitamin F acts as a rejuvenator for soothing and healing rough and chapped skin.

Anti-Ageing Benefits:

Shea butter is considered as one of the best anti-aging and moisturizing agents for the skin. It stimulates the production of collagen, the youthful scaffolding protein in the skin. The vitamins A and E found in this butter keep the skin supple, nourished, and radiant, and prevent premature wrinkles and facial lines. Shea butter penetrates the skin easily, without clogging the pores, and is effective for dry skin.

Restores Skin Elasticity:

The non-saponifiable matter and vitamin F in this butter are vital ingredients for maintaining the skin’s elasticity. Thus, the application of shea butter restores the elasticity of the skin and helps maintain an even skin tone, besides hydrating, softening and beautifying it.

2.        ALOE VERA:

Using Aloe Vera can give your skin quite a large vitamin and mineral boost. Aloe vera contains a huge amount of vitamins including vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, and E. It’s also rich in choline and folic acid, all of which help the skin regenerate and stay healthy. The minerals in aloe Vera are abundant as well, with calcium, iron, potassium, copper, manganese, selenium, sodium, chromium, and many more all coming in natural aloe vera products and extracts. If you want beautiful skin, you can’t go wrong with aloe vera.   It has antioxidant and antibacterial properties, Antioxidants are important for good health.

Aloe vera gel contains powerful antioxidants, which belong to a large family of substances known as polyphenols.  Aloe vera contains various powerful antioxidant compounds. Some of these compounds can help inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria. These polyphenols, along with several other compounds in Aloe vera, can help inhibit the growth of certain bacteria that can cause infections in humans.

Accelerates the healing of burns

Aloe vera is most commonly used as a topical medication, rubbed onto the skin rather than eaten.

It has long been known as a treatment for sores, particularly burns, including sunburns.

In fact, the FDA first approved Aloe vera ointment as an over-the-counter medication for skin burns back in 1959.  Studies suggest that it is an effective topical treatment for first- and second-degree burns.  A review of 4 experimental studies found that Aloe vera could reduce the healing time of burns by around 9 days compared to conventional medication.

“antibiotics, steroids and skin tissue graphs are often prescribed for serious wounds that prove difficult to heal. However, these treatments may prove harsh on the body and cause negative side affects. On the other hand, aloe vera offers a natural treatment method that offers nutrient-rich benefits. Aloe vera contains important ingredients for wound healing, such as amino acids, zinc and vitamin E. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties and prevents free-radical damage that delay wound healing.”

“Some chemicals in aloe gel seem to be able to increase circulation in the tiny blood vessels in the skin, as well as kill bacteria,” reported MedlinePlus of the National Institutes of Health. Also present in aloe vera is vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid has antioxidant properties and enhances the synthesis of collagen, according to the study, “Wound Healing, Oral and Topical Activity of Aloe Vera”. This scientific study claimed, “Aloe vera penetrates, cleanses, and dilates capillaries going to an injured site, which also improves healing.”

This controlled animal study observed the effects of both topical and oral applications of aloe vera when compared to a control group who received treatment without aloe vera. The findings of this two-month study found a 62.5% reduction in wound diameter when distributed orally and a 50.8% reduction when receiving topical treatment. “The data suggests that aloe vera is effective by both oral and topical routes of administration,” concluded the study.

Burn Wounds

Other scientific studies beget similar findings when examining the effect of aloe vera on burn wounds. In an animal study from the Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, animals were divided into four groups to evaluate the effect of aloe vera cream on thermal burn wounds compared to other creams. Based on consistent skin samples, the results showed “the wound size was significantly smaller in the aloe group as compared with other groups.”

Post Operative Pain and Wound Healing

In a similar study generated from the same university, research was done to assess the effects of aloe vera cream on postoperative pain and wound healing. It was a random, placebo-controlled trial where 49 patients (24 treated with aloe vera, 25 receiving the placebo) applied cream to the surgical site three times a day for four weeks with frequent pain assessments along the way. “Patients in the topical aloe cream group had significantly less postoperative pain at hours 12, 24, and 48 hours and at 2 weeks,” reported the study. Ultimate findings revealed that aloe vera cream reduced the pain. The study concluded that, “application of aloe vera cream on the surgical site is effective in reducing postoperative pain…compared with the placebo group.”

3.        COCOA BUTTER:

Skin Health

The antioxidant qualities of cocoa butter certainly take care of most signs of aging, but cocoa butter also provides a barrier for the skin that will protect it from outside agents as well. The antioxidants and beneficial organic molecules protect the skin from environmental, internal, and external forces that can cause irritation or damage to the skin.

Reduce Inflammation: The rich blend of fatty acids and antioxidants in cocoa butter make it an ideal choice for people who want to reduce inflammation of the skin. Whether you apply cocoa butter to psoriasis, eczema, rashes, or other types on inflammation on the body, you can find quick, soothing relief, 

Great antioxidant source.  Cocoa butter is a great source of antioxidants, which help combat free radicals and help save your skin from the inevitable signs of aging and environmental stressors. 

Restorative quality

Are you still confused how to bring your skin back to life? As we know, our body cannot function well without dopamine, tryptophan, zinc, omegas 6 and 9. The tempo of life is very high that’s why our days are full of stresses, which have a negative impact on our skin. Cocoa butter is the most suitable set of health-giving element

Say bye-bye to scars

Cocoa butter has very effective healing properties. Its antioxidants battle scars, scratches and stretch marks. Just use it regularly and you will see how it accelerates the process of regeneration. If you have a scar from former acne issues, a cut, or similar discolored areas, don’t panic. Just use cocoa butter regularly and you will notice them looking much lighter or even disappearing.

 4.        VITAMIN E:

Sun Protection and Sun Burn Treatment

Vitamin e lotions provide some benefit in preventing and treating sunburns. These lotions protect the epidermis layer of the skin from early stages of ultra violet light damage. Vitamin e preparations also increase the effectiveness of sunscreens. Such lotions do not work immediately. They must be applied about 20 minutes before sun exposure in order to allow the vitamin e to be absorbed deep into the epidermis layer.

Treatment of Skin Diseases

Vitamin e can aid in the treatment of various skin diseases or skin conditions. Topical applications such as those used to treat psoriasis is one of the benefits of vitamin e.

Skin Cancer Benefits of Vitamin E

One of the most important benefits of vitamin e is the prevention of skin cancer. This occurs because of its sun protection quality and of course its powerful antioxidant properties, which help reduce or prevent sun damage.

Other Vitamin E Benefits

There are a variety of other vitamin e benefits for skin care:

• vitamin e products help reduce the appearance of stretch marks
• vitamin e can help prevent the appearance of age spots
• it helps maintain the skin’s oil balance during the cleansing process
• it reduces transepidermal water loss from skin and strengthens the skin’s barrier function

Overall for skin care, more benefit is obtained from topical application of vitamin e through creams or lotions rather than taking vitamin e orally. Skin is able to absorb natural vitamin e effectively. However, taking vitamin e orally is important for the good health of other areas of the body.

5.    Grapeseed Oil:

What is Grape Seed Oil?

Grape Seed Extract and its oil is derived from the seeds of a grape. Due to their nutritional and medicinal properties grapes, their seeds, and leaves have been used in many home remedies for centuries. Grape Seed Oil is a great source of polyphenols - flavonoids, Essential Fatty Acid - linoleic acid, vitamin E, and oligomeric proanthocyanidin. These great components make grape seed extract an asset in the treatment of many minor to severe health conditions.

Uses of Grape Seed Oil

Research suggests that the linoleic acid in Grape Seed Oil has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergen, acne reductive, and moisture retentive properties. It contains 73% of linoleic acid which may be beneficial in the treatment of acne, dermatitis, allergic reactions, atopic eczema and dry and itchy skin.

Studies have shown that the antioxidant activity of Grape Seed Oil may reduce the damage to skin cells and enhance the production of collagen and elastin which is important for strong and healthy looking skin. Grapeseed oil is extracted from the seeds of grapes, typically wine grapes. In the twentieth century, grapeseed oil began to be processed and sold in much higher volume, primarily in the United States and Europe. Many stores sell pure grapeseed oil for various applications.

There are two primary uses for grapeseed oil: cosmetics and culinary applications.

In cosmetics, grapeseed oil is widely used. It is often combined with other oils to make massage oil, since it glides well on the skin and it also has moisturizing properties. Grapeseed oil appears to assist with skin repair, as it has mildly astringent and antiseptic qualities. Some companies use grapeseed oil as a short term natural preservative in body products, while others integrate it into moisturizing creams, sunscreen, and an assortment of other products.

Grapeseed Oil Benefits

Grape seed oil has several important health benefits. It is a good source of essential fatty acids and vitamin E. The polyphenols and flavonoids found in this oil contain strong antioxidant compounds. Most of the grape seed oil health benefits can be attributed to the presence of these nutrients. These health benefits of grape seed oil are enumerated below.

The flavonoid 'oligomeric procyanidin', found in grape seed oil is an incredibly strong antioxidant, about 50 times stronger than antioxidants like, vitamin C and E. So, this compound can provide protection against cellular and tissue damage caused by free radicals.

Grape seed oil has anti-inflammatory properties, for which it can provide relief against pain and swelling caused by arthritis. Even in conditions like, rheumatoid arthritis, this oil can provide great relief.

Grape seed oil contains high levels of Vitamin E, which is a fat-soluble antioxidant. It aids in preventing any cell membrane related injuries.

After any surgery or an injury, the oil reduces the swelling faster than any other medicines.

Flavonoids found in grape seed oil work to inflect cell-signaling pathways. OregonStateUniversity states, "The Flavonoids have an antioxidant behavior that responds to iron and copper that bond to proteins".

Grapeseed is mildly astringent in nature and helps to tighten and tone skin.

Grapeseed contains proanthocyanidins, which are very potent antioxidants, that help in diminishing the sun's damaging effects and lessen free radical damage.

Grapeseed oil is also helpful for healing wounds. It is rich in linoleic acid levels, which is an essential fatty acid that is quite important for the skin and cell membranes.

Grapeseed oil has great moisturizing properties and  is also rich in vitamins, minerals and causes no skin irritation.  Due to its antioxidant properties, grape seed oil can delay skin aging by minimizing the damage caused by free radicals.
