How can I make a safe saline solution to put on small wounds?

To make a safe saline solution for small wounds, mix 1 teaspoon of salt (non-iodized) with 2 cups (about 500 ml) of distilled or boiled water. Ensure the water has cooled to room temperature before use. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved, and store the solution in a clean, airtight container. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper wound care and to ensure the saline solution is appropriate for your specific needs.
