I'm in my early 60s and the other day I took a fall while hiking. I got scraped up pretty badly and my leg was bleeding. My sister gave me some homemade Cottonwood salve to put on the wound. Since I trust natural remedies more than anything else, I slathered it on. Of course, I also washed it out well with soap and water. I have to tell you the wound is healing so much more quickly than I would expect for my age. And I think it's because of the salve. She made it with olive oil and beeswax. She soaked the Cottonwood buds in the olive oil before making the salve. Anyway, you could research it. There are loads of recipes out there for this. I hadn't seen anything on this website about Cottonwood salve so I figured I'd post.
