I have a leg ulcer. I also have poor circulation in this leg and it takes sores or leg ulcers a long time to heal. I was wondering if I can use these tea bags, they are decaffeinated, that's what I drink. Can I use them on my leg ulcer for the infection in the leg and to help it heal faster and better?

The only mention of teabags I can find in healing ulcers is maggot tea-bags, under professional supervision only. I think you might risk infecting your ulcer with used teabags. Honey has often been recommended; it won't introduce bacteria and provides a second skin for the wound to heal under.
My mother suffered from leg ulcers that would not heal. Went to a Wound Care Clinic, and after several weeks of following treatment. Her leg wounds disappeared. Gently clean ulcerated area with salt solution. Wet a piece of saline strip in solution, coat it with silvadene or silver solution gel and pack wound well.

I know I am not suppose to link to a website but I strongly feel you are not giving your leg the proper treatment if you don't know what you are doing. That is not to be critical but you could be counting on a remedy that doesn't work as fast or at all. These are nothing to mess around with.
My sister developed a staff infection simply by picking a sore too long. She was so sick we had to call an ambulance by the time she used home treatments that didn't work.
Please PLEASE...seek medical help. On line if fine as long as you can trust the site. Webmd.com is set up and monitored by doctors.
I hope this helped. Sandi/PBP
This is one time being frugal is not an option. If you have ulcers on your leg you need to seek medical help. If you are a diabetic you need to have your glucose levels checked to see if that is causing the ulcers. Please do not use home remedies in this case. The only other thing that might be safe until you see a doctor is something like Neosporin.
as a medic, I will say you need to see a doctor. Wrong treatments can cause you to use your leg, or your life.
