Wound can be defined as an injury or a cut in any part of the body because of any road accident or a fight, etc. Medications are prescribed by the doctors for the treatment of the wounds. But apart from medicines, even home remedies are there for treating the wound. One of them is the usage of salt water. Salt water can be used effectively in treatment of the wound because salt is an osmotically active substance that helps in improving the vascularity of the wounded area as a result of which there would be an increase in the lymphocytes and WBCs that helps in the healing of the wound. Dr. Bikash Chandra Swaika, professor and head at Gouri devi  Medical College in the department of general medicine, Durgapur, speaks about when a wound should not be covered.
