By definition a medication is any substance taken or applied that will assist the body in combating an illness or wound or deal with the symptoms resulting from such. If you treat a wound or sore with anything other than washing it out and letting it heal on its own you are using a medication. Even such primitive, yet effective, methods like applying honey is defined as a medication.
