(Medical-NewsWire.com, June 26, 2014 ) Glasgow, UK -- The healing effects of coconut oil have been well documented and several studies have been conducted into the benefits of virgin coconut oil. One of the most interesting aspects of virgin coconut oil is its ability to heal wounds; this is an ability that has been confirmed by scientific research.
Studies have shown that when virgin coconut oil is applied to a wound it can help quicken the healing process. One study monitored how well rats healed after virgin coconut oil was applied to a wound on a daily basis.
Virgin coconut oil was applied to the rodents every day for ten days so that researchers could monitor the healing process. The animals in the study had their wounds treated with up to 1.0 ml of virgin coconut oil.
It was found wounds that were treated every day with virgin coconut oil had a much quicker healing time. Coconut oil is known for its antioxidant properties and it was also shown that the wounds treated with virgin coconut oil had a much higher antioxidant content.
Researchers also found that the turnover of collagen was accelerated in rodents when virgin coconut oil was applied, which is another positive sign of healing.
This research could have positive implications for patients that are slow to heal such as diabetics. Diabetic patients often have wounds that take time to heal and their damaged skin and open wounds can be prone to infections.
More research is needed into the effectiveness of virgin coconut oil and its ability to heal wounds in humans, but this study shows promise for patients that are slow to heal and could provide an important, alternative means to accelerate the treatment of slow healing wounds.
