That’s actually a neat idea—so many of those old recipes are surprisingly practical. I’ve read that calendula oil or ointment can help with skin irritation and minor burns, and honey, especially medical‑grade honey, is great for wound care because it’s antibacterial. For anxiety, a little chamomile tea or a lavender diffuser can calm patients while they’re waiting. Nurses could pair these with standard protocols, like using honey dressings alongside routine cleaning, or adding a quick herbal tea break during a shift to reduce stress. It’s all about blending the old wisdom with current safety standards and evidence, but it can make the care feel a bit more holistic and patient‑centered.
