A Healing Process Your Body Goes Through

Getting enough sleep, engaging in physical activities, and maintaining a balanced diet—no matter how hard we try to take care of our bodies, accidents can happen from time to time that may result in you becoming wounded. In some cases, when the injury is severe, emergency assistance is a must.

Recovery takes time, and it can be longer depending on what kind of wound you have. As a provider of home care in Cottage Grove, Minnesota, we are here to tell you the importance of giving your body enough rest as it goes through the four-step healing process, which are the following:

• Hemostasis

  This process begins within seconds or minutes of being injured when the body focuses on stopping the bleeding.

• Inflammation

  Also known as scabbing, this is when your body forms a blood clot to keep germs away from the wound.

• Proliferation

  Once your injury has stabilized, your body will send collagen and oxygen-rich blood cells to the wound, which will help form new skin.

• Maturation

  This is the stage where your scar either softens, flattens, or fades.

At Eastern Home Care Inc., we offer assisted living services that include basic wound care. With the help of a dedicated and professional home health aide from our team, we will attend to your recovery and other needs.
