14 Home Remedies for Wound Care & Reducing Scars

2. Drink plenty of water is another home remedy to reduce scars and heal your wound. 

It is important to drink eight glasses of water a day. Some people say to drink half of your body weight in water. It is a good idea to leave the soft drinks and alcohol alone when you have a wound.

Alcohol and soft drinks dehydrate the body, especially if you’re not drinking enough water. Alcohol and soft drinks don’t count as your daily water consumption. Even some fruit drinks aren’t healthy because they are loaded with sugar.

When you are hydrated, the scars are reduced. Consuming water on a regular basis is good for the skin. It reduces inflammation and clears any skin problems you could be having. You can add lemon to the water to add some flavor to it. In fact, lemon is a good source of Vitamin C, which is good for wound care and scar reduction.
