EGG WHITES

[YEA]  02/28/2007: Annita from Myrtle Beach, SC writes: "My mother has told this story many times in the last 30 years. When I was about 4 years old I got a severe burn on the inside of my forearm. Apparently, it was a 2nd degree burn as it was evident to her that 2 layers of skin had been burned. My mother immediately applied egg whites mixed with alum to the burn and covered it with gauze. (Alum is usually found on the spice aisle at the grocery store and is used as an ingredient in baking powder, as a crisping agent for pickles and to harden gelatin.) She says that the following day I was outside playing with other children and fell - forearm down on the ground. She was amazed that I immediately got up and began playing again with no indication of any pain from the burn. I'm not sure of the significance of the alum but I'm now 35 years old and, within my memory, there has never been any sign of a scar on my arm."

Finally, I found this site and tried the egg white thing. I just lay my hand in a bowl of egg whites for about 20 minutes. When I washed my hand off, the sting was gone and it didn't come back! I would recommend this cure to anyone."

About an hour went by and I could't take the pain anymore.So I went on this site and told me to use egg whites. By far this is the best remedy for burns. Ive tried crest and colgate tooth paste but nothing works quite like egg whites. THANKS FOR THE HELP!"

[YEA]  06/20/2006: Darrin from Kennesaw, Ga writes: "I burned one of my fingers while cooking and put it on ice immediately. After an hour and a half of uncomfortable chilling and almost out of ice, I googled "heal" and "burns" and hit this site. I read about the egg white technique and gave it a try. I soaked some egg white in a folded-up paper towel and wrapped it around my finger. After 20 minutes I took the paper towel off and I don't feel any pain any more. Egg white really works! Thanks guys!"

[YEA]  06/06/2006: AM from SC writes: "I had scalded my hand while making homemade jam and fortunately my father-in-law was present and had me soak it in egg white and then drenched a paper towel and placed it on my hand and wrapped my hand in a small towel for 30 minutes. The pain was immediately gone and did not return. I have no marks from the burn either. MIRACULOUS!"

HONEY

[YEA]  01/21/2009: Kamal from Bhubaneswar, Orissa, India writes: "Honey as a burn remedy is simply excellent. You will be astonished honey ameliorates the pain from burns almost instantly. I have tried and recommended honey to dozens of friends for the treatment of burns by local application of honey with excellent results. It not only does away with the burning instantly but also takes care of the treatment. Keep applying for as long as the injury is not healed."

[YEA]  11/25/2006: Rose from PA writes: "I burned my hand by taking a pan out of the oven and I had a keloid by the same area. Well, I apply it directly to both areas and cover with a bandage before bedtime every night and within a week or 2 I saw it disappear. I also applied it to my keloid scar after surgery. It does wonders. I thank God. God is good."

[YEA]  10/26/2006: Madiha from NJ writes: "1. I mixed honey with ginger juice (1 tb spoon ) three times a day. 2: raw honey on burns(really works). A mixture of ginger juice and honey works for sore throat ..it's the best remedy. I always apply raw honey on burn imediately after I get burned and it really works it keep skin soft ...i always keep honey in my kitchen."

[YEA]  10/06/2006: Joni from Grafton, OH writes: "Honey is also great for BURNS. The other night we were burning some brush in the fire pit and being stupid I grabbed for a stick that wasn't in the fire, but instead grabbed a red-hot end of a burnt stick. OUCH. I ran to the house and put my fingers in ice water. I could tell I burned it deeply (the finger-pad of my forefinger) the other was small burn on the side of my thumb. Then I thought about what I had seen about burns and honey, so I put honey in a measuring cup and dipped my fingers in that. It took the pain right away, but it came back again quickly. So I alternated for an hour and a half between the ice water and honey. The next morning the blisters were unbelievably small and did not hurt AT ALL. In fact the burn felt less deep than it had the night before. Just the surrounding skin looked a little dry. The one on the thumb was completely healed. I have no doubt the forefinger would have been semi-serious if I had not applied the honey. Today (2 days later) you can barely see the blister, as it is flush with the skin and the skin all around the burn looks completely normal again. In fact I can see my fingerprint! I first found this website looking for honey cures and found a wealth of other things too. I love this place!"

[YEA]  06/24/2006: Richard from Boynton Beach, FL writes: "I spread honey over my 3 burned fingers which I had burned from boiling water and the pain went away after 10 minutes."

[YEA]  04/10/2006: Lucy from Blue Island, IL writes: "After burning, cool burn by running under cool water. Immediately thereafter, cover burn with honey. Keep burn covered until burning sensation eases. You may keep burn soaked in bowl of honey if easily accessible. I have healed even severe burns that have already blistered. By the next day, the blister will be gone and the skin above the blister will return to normal if the blister had not ruptured before using the honey. My whole family uses honey for burns."

[YEA]  02/12/2006: Soaring Hawk writes: "When my son was 10 he went for his first ride on a farm tractor. A couple of hours later when he got off he reached out and grabbed the exhaust pipe to get off. We immediately poured Raw Unrefined Honey on it & wrapped it in a clean 'T' shirt. Took the pain away very fast & the next morning when we unwrapped it the hand was perfect. No sign of a burn at all!"

[YEA]  02/03/2006: Brenda from Vicksburg, MS writes: "I have used honey for years on any burn and the pain stops immediately and it will not blister. You may have to apply it a couple of times but well worth the stickiness."

MILK OF MAGNESIA

[YEA]  01/21/2009: Jodi from Bowmansville, NY, USA writes: "My friend told me about Milk of Magnesia for burns. When her daughter was little she has rashes so bad on her bottom that she had to leave on the diaper quite often because of her acidity level in her urine. One day her mother was watching her and she told her mother to be very careful because of the rash. She left for a few hours and when she came home the rash was gone. She had applied Milk of Magnesia directly on her granddaughter and not long after the skin rash was gone.
