My nephew has light wounds after playing in the park. Aside from guava leaves (dahon ng bayabas), what other Philippine herbal medicines do you use to disinfect wounds?

It may give you a little discomfot but I swear by honey. It's an natural disinfectant. My dermatologist said that they even tackled it on med school and it's true that it's anti-bacterial.

I have used aloe vera to inhibit inflammatory activity especially of sunburn. I have also tried turmeric which has good anti-septic and anti-inflammatory properties that heal wounds.
