There are two ways to understand this, the first is to deal with old physical wounds and the other way is to deal with mental trauma.
Physical Wounds
Ordinarily, the physical wounds should heal within 10-15 days.For physical wounds that do not heal in this time, a surgeon is required to evaluate the wound. The use of dressing /debridement and antiseptics/antibiotics as directed by the surgeon should be done to repair the wounds. Some such cases may need skin grafting.
Factors such as diabetes, blood supply problems, neurological problems usually prolong wound healing and these should be controlled so that wounds can be healed.
Mental Trauma
Old mental trauma requires a completely different approach and even a psychiatrist may be needed for assessment and treatment.Some meaningful suggestions for these people:
- Take a balanced diet.
- Exercise fast for 30 minutes daily and exercise your body's stretching exercise for 15 minutes a day.
- Stay away from alcohol and tobacco
- Get enough sleep, and relax.
- Practice meditation.
- Spend some time in hobbies, leisure activities.
- Stay close to pets, friends, and your family members or social workers.
- Join the social community of similar people
- Visit the church/temple/mosque etc. (whichever is applicable)
- If you do a job, talk to your boss often.
