Stitching

We all should know what stitching is...It is the taking of to sides of skin and sewing them together to stop blood flow and prevent infection...

If there is need of stitching sprinkle some blue short grass powder on the wound and offer either kanda leaf or willow bark for the pain. In stitching each stitch must be knotted at the end of each stitch however in speed healings the use os a double knot will suffice.

If the wound is not deep, clean the wound, take a jar of healing salve and spread it thickly over the wound. Then take a bandage, choisen for the size of the wound and wrap it tightly securing it. The wound must be cleaned and rebandaged over three days or until a firm scab forms over the wound. Stitched wounds must be looked after twice daily to ensure that stitches have not snapped and that infection has not set in, before cleaning and rebandageing the wound. This is the proceedure til the stitches are taken out.
