MRSA infection and Ayurveda

Painful swelling,oozing,swollen skin infection could be caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Good hygiene inclusive of proper handwashing, showering after exercise covering cuts and abrasions and most important of all not sharing personal things like handkerchief, towels, cosmetics,razors and dresses etc help to prevent MRSA infections.
This infection was very common in certain high-risk populations, including prisons, hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis centers, and people with weakened immune systems but today it has become common in schools,dormitories,daycare centres and otherwise healthy people also.
