Things to watch out for people with varicose ulcers.

How to use the medicine is given step by step below.

• Pour Sidhans Vericoil on a small cotton ball.
• Clean the wound with the same cotton.
• Take another new cotton ball and dab oil on it well.
• That cotton should be closely tied to the wound. (Note: The cotton should be completely soaked in oil.)
• Without  untying the wound, at intervals of one and a half hours, oil  should be spread a little and through that gap (Do not allow the cotton to dry under any circumstances.)
• Oil should be applied six times a day at intervals of three hours to the rest of the leg except the bandaged part.

Dietary guidelines for ulcer sufferers:

• Nothing but rice gruel and vegetables should be eaten for three meals for the first four weeks. (Diabetic patients should drink porridge with millets for three meals.)
• Drink black tea or black coffee.
• Vegetables can be made into toran or wax paste.
• Vegetables such as bitter gourd, broad beans, carrot and beetroot should be included in  3 times the amount of gruel in the diet.
• Don’t use like brinjal, ivy gourd, unripe bannana and moringa leaves and other types of tubers  except yams.

Things to note:

• Wounds should not be made in to contact with water. If wet, the wound will be very difficult to dry.
• If there is no fluid or pus from the wound, it is enough to clean it and bandage it the next morning.
• If fluid or pus appears from the wound, the wound should be untied and bandaged at night.
• Those who are not severely affected by the disease recover quickly by using Sidhans Vericoil.
• Those with more severe disease should use Sidhans Vericoil for six months to one year.
• At the beginning of the application of the medicine, itching, swelling and  pain are seen to increase in some people. This is a sign of healing. With the use of Vericoil in subsequent days, the difficulties are completely removed. Discontinue the use of sidhans Vericoil for two days  if these difficulties become unbearable and by that  the difficulties will decrease. When the difficulties subside, we can start using sidhans vericoil again.
• When people with ulcers use sidhans vericoil, the ulcer appears to be slightly enlarged as the dead cells around the ulcer are sloughed off. With subsequent use of Sidhans Vericoil the ulcer heals completely.
