The sacred spirited being that knows about yourself more than you and has the power to transform your life and change it forever, for the better. It demands utmost respect and cannot be taken lightly. There are misconceptions about this spirit and its application towards nature, but this is mainly due to the western world taking advantage of its supposedly mysterious nature and making it more mysterious to ignorant people. It should not be taken as a medicine, chemical substance and must be implemented in the right way into your mind, body and soul.

Since an infection can get out of hand and cause serious problems, it's imperative to seek medical attention if a wound gets infected. Antibiotics are conventionally used to treat infected wounds.
