Acharya Balkrishna shares foot wound remedy using kattha

Acharya Balkrishna, who runs Patanjali Ayurved, shared a simple home remedy on Facebook for foot wounds that often occur between the toes of people who work in water for long periods, like farmers and fishermen.

The remedy involves using kattha, a substance found in paan, which comes from the Khair tree.

The process involves washing the wound with kattha water, drying it, and then applying kattha powder.

Kattha has been used traditionally for its skin-healing properties and contains compounds that help in wound healing.

While it's a useful remedy for minor issues, serious wounds should still be checked by a doctor.
