How to Naturally Treat Leg Ulcers

Leg ulcers are open sores that affect the lower area of the leg. Leg ulcers usually begin with itching and pain, and then begin to swell. They then form as ulcers. Below are some natural remedies that can be used to treat leg ulcers.

Instructions

1

Take an extra 500 IU of Vitamin E daily until the ulcers have healed. Also apply Vitamin E Oil directly to the ulcers 2-3 times per day.

2

Increase your intake of Vitamin A to about 10,000 IU per day. Also apply Vitamin A directly to the affected areas 1-2 times per day. Skip this step if you are currently pregnant though.

Make sure that you're getting a high daily dosage of Zinc. Zinc is important in the healing process of the ulcers.
