Hello. Can I use basil for healing cuts and bruises? Major ones?

Thank you.

Basil does have some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties so it can help in preventing infection in wounds.

For bruises, Arnica is far more effective than Basil.

For major wounds you'd do better seeking medical treatment.
