This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Natural Medicine.

Here's a video that has a few ideas which may or may not be applicable to your friend's issue:


Minimum requirements:
  - Help your friend with their Abrasion problem
  - Refer to them by a number or pseudonym that you will continue to use for that friend throughout the Natural Medicine badge

To document completion of the BB, provide the following:
  - Your friend's pseudonym
  - Describe the issue your friend is struggling with
      - Symptoms
      - Duration
      - Severity
      - Medical diagnosis (if any)
 - Your suggestions for relief (including, but not limited to)
     - Behavioral
     - Food as medicine
     - Concoctions
 - Description of success (including, but not limited to)
     - What your friend actually did
     - How well it worked
     - How long it took to see results
 - Picture of you with friend on the first meeting
 - Picture of you with friend (giving a thumbs up) on your last meeting

While riding her broomstick, Loona Lovegood got a nasty scrape on her knee. (In a catastrophic Wronski Feint that went too far to the ground). I would call it a level 1 abrasion, for sure.
We got out the potions. I mean salves. :) The salve I recommended has comfrey, yarrow, cottonwood bud, calendula and lavender in it. I requested she use it as a smear on her bandage twice a day. She did that most days, sometimes only once, decreasing the size of the bandage as needed.
Even with the edges of the wound being over 2 inches in diameter, it only took 13 days to heal.
