Vinegar Treatment for Burns

Soak a cotton ball in vinegar and apply the soaked cotton to the burn. You should experience quick relief. You can also use the soaked cotton ball to dab vinegar all over a sunburn. The vinegar also kills potential pathogens that could infect an open blister.

[YEA]  09/07/2009: Shiningstar from Gainesville, Fl: "My husband had 3rd degree burns and went to the hospital burn unit. His face had nose, ears, facial skin and neck burned. Also hand and back. ER spent 5 hrs pulling sand out of his face which caused him to swell up so bad he almost died from that. As soon as we got on the burn unit my health food store lady came up and brought me Vit E. I bit the end off of 100 capsules and put them on him. Drs said he would not be able to shave (if he lived) for a yr and hand would not work unless 5 yrs of Physical Therapy. After 4 days of them torturing him I took him home wrapped in a sheet. Continued Vit E, C and lots of others and he was back to work soon. But he did look so bad (to others) that people stopped to ask if we needed an ambulance. He went back to the hospital and they refused to believe that he had even been there. The hospital administrator kept up with him for years as he had no pain and no scars and healed perfectly. I discovered that other countries use Vit E and other things that WORK but our hospital system is about money. We settled with the insurance company for 1,200.00 for vits and the hospital bill.They said they had never settled a claim like his for less than 5 M."

09/08/2009: Gean from Salina, Ks replies: "This is very, very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I wonder, when you say you continued the vitamin E, C, and lots of others, what exactly that means. Oral vitamin C? Did you just do topical vitamin E, or also oral? What other things did you do? Thank you."

09/11/2009: Shining Star from Gainesville, Fl replies: "While in the hospital I put natural vit e on him over and over again. Synthetic will not do for a burn. Once home I soaked his hand in a foot bath with powered vit c. We used vits c orally. All I could get down him.Pantothenic Acid.T he burn unit said he was burned worse then any of the patients.When I asked the most painful part of the burn I was told the scabbing made grown men cry even with drugs. My husband never had a scab. The worst part is that they take you down to bath and spend hrs taking tweezers and pulling of the new skin ??? every day. The patient goes into shock after that. Speech was limited but he could say "take me home" and I did. Drs would not even give him antibiotics to take home. He went off of their pain medication after 24 hrs and they could not believe it. He looked like a cross between Mickey Mouse and Frankinstein due to ER pulling all of the skin off of him??? We never did see another dr and lips, ears, nose grew back without redness or a scar. Hand had a hole in it and looked like a huge glove. No scarring and full dexterity with no PT. Had a horse burned after that and vet said to put her down as her hoof would never grow back. Did same thing and hoof grew back, no limp and one could not tell the difference in one hoof from another."

EC: Thank you for the update!

[YEA]  01/25/2008: Cat from Harrisvill, WV: "Cat here! Green, red or white clay: We always have a glass jar or bowl of pure hand dug clay with water around the house and barn, (I use rain water). If you have a homeopathic of Arnica 30c or higher, take that under the tongue for trauma and shock. dollop the wet clay poultice on the burn and let it dry. The most injured part will stay wet longer. Gently wash the dry clay off with fresh sun warmed (not hot not cold) water making little circles on the area. This sucks out the liquid that forms the blister and removes the burnt dead skin so the live skin beneath, can breath. Repeat the process every two hours depending on comfort and visible healing. As the area heals the clay will dry faster. We use clay in the field on wounds also. Used this on a real bad burn from boiling water 18"X6" long after 24 hours there was fresh skin growing in 5 days skin was frail but nearly healed. 2 weeks a 3"x4" area remained visibly healing. 1 month no scar at all."

[YEA]  03/24/2013: Love God from San Diego, Ca, Usa: "Plain white flour stops the pain and blistering from burns quickly. It even worked with napalm in Vietnam. Simply put the burn in white flour or the white flour on the burn. It's even better if the flour is cool or cold. We keep some in the freezer."

EC: For those of us who don't know what napalm is...

"U.S. troops used a substance known as napalm from about 1965 to 1972 in the Vietnam War; napalm is a mixture of plastic polystyrene, hydrocarbon benzene, and gasoline. This mixture creates a jelly-like substance that, when ignited, sticks to practically anything and burns up to ten minutes. The effects of napalm on the human body are unbearably painful and almost always cause death among its victims."

[QUESTION]  02/23/2009: Rob from Belvidere, Illinois: "I work outside all day and have to put up with all types of wheather conditions my face is always red and people always ask why is your face so Red. Is there anything that can help with the redness i'm not sure if it's windburn or perhaps something else."

02/24/2009: Jane from Seattle, WA replies: "Frank, it could be windburn or it could be sunburn, even in the winter time. It's important in this day and age to wear sunblock with at least 15 SPF. Even those of us who sit inside near windows should be wearing spf 15 (or more) every day, according to the dermatologists I've seen over the past 10 years. A good sunblock will solve your problem. For windburn, try coconut oil or shea butter."
