Hello,

I had done a nose piercing 3 weeks ago. Last week accidently my specs caught the broom straw that I had inserted. Now a small red inflammation has come around the piercing. I currently apply only warm coconut oil on it. However, I have kasturi manjal with me. Can it be used to heal the wound and reduce the inflammation around the piercing?

Hello Narmadha, Kasturi manjal is a very effective herb. But excess or daily intake of herb may cause side effects. Long term usage can even cause Stomach problems and Abnormal Heart rhythm.
So, please take the herb in moderation. Herbpathy has given side effects of the herb. You can check that above too.
