Pressure Ulcers Rx: "natural" is an interesting description. Remember, pressure ulcers are caused by some form of pressure. There are three types of pressure injury: pressure itself, friction (rubbing of a skin area multiple times) and shearing (which can be superficial and cause skin tearing or deeper and cause a deep tissue injury). The best 'natural' remedy for pressure ulcers is to decrease the pressure!
