Effective Natural Remedies for Burns

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.

My friend also told me about using it on burns, so I have tried it. My daughter and I have both burned our hands so I tried it and it worked. You need to soak it near an hour but it leaves no red marks and it feels better.

I have always known ACV is good for sunburn, one cup in a tub of water and the sunburn is gone! So, when I was at work alone and severly burned my hand, I put ACV in a sink of water with ice cubes. I had to wait until someone else came into work before I could go to the hospital. On and off for about an hour I kept soaking my burnt hand in the ACV solution. When I arrived at the hospital my hand was bandaged and treated and I was told to return the next day to have this treament repeated. The next day I went back to the hospital and as the bandages were removed, the doctor was shocked! The deep red welt, the blister and all signs of a burn were gone.I had only a pink line. When I explained I had used ACV and ice, the staff were amazed! It truly worked a miracle, where I would have had a scar and therapy, I had onle one day of discomfort. I thank my mother for this.

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.

Whenever I've gotten a burn or a bruise, I've used raw pork fat (salo) applied directly to the wound and change the fat as needed. (After 8-12 hours or overnight) It never fails! The key is to apply it immediatly. I go to my local butcher and ask for pork salo. I cut the fat up into thin pieces (0.5 inch thick) of various sizes and then store them in the freezer in case of emergency. That way I always have some on hand. (Pork salo is very cheap, and in some cases the butcher will give it to you for free). DO NOT try this remedy using bacon etc (the salt will irritate the wound).

Hi, my grandma was a chef for forty years and whenever she got burned she would cut a fresh onion in half and apply it directly to the burn, I am not sure for how long. It would heal very quickly. I don't think she needed to do it more than once.

put a little alcohol in your burns and it will go away. It will burn for a moment but it will get much better. I tried it and it worked.

Regular vinegar on a sunburn takes the pain out of a sunburn. Growing up in southern Rhode Island sunburns could be pretty severe. I was in a bar one day with a sunburned friend (He said you can't get burned because it was windy out) when the lady bartender suggested putting vinegar on it. Other than smelling like a french fry ( Rhode Islanders put vinegar on their fries) he felt a lot better some quick!

i tried using the mustard on my burn and it didn't help at all.

After being burnt, if you have nothing else on hand, reach for the yellow mustard. Squeeze on, smear on. It works... It didn't even let it blister up, like they usually do.

If you burn yourself, put ACV on the burn. The burn will stop burning quickly and will not blister as bad, if at all.

ACV really works ! I couldn't believe it. After ten min. the burn went completely away!

Ice really helps, i burned my thumb on a tray and put it in a small bowl of ice, if you have nothing else to put on, ice is your best option.

1. Aspirin first, it will reduce the pain.
2. A cool wet compress will also make you feel better instantly.
3. Soak in a tub of cool water and add a cup of white vinegar to the bath. It helps a lot.

OK so I burned my hand taking a skillet out of the oven set on 400 degrees around seven pm...it is now 1130 pm...and I've had to constantly keep ice on it to numb the pain...it has already blistered....I couldn't sleep because once the ice melted the pain immediately came back..so I started browsing the web for a remedy...in a new apartment and didn't have access to baking soda so I randomly tried flour instead...can't compare to baking soda but it most definitely has made the burn much more bearable...I can actually sleep with this mild discomfort...although the burn i's on the palm of my hand...I filled a bag with the flour paste and put a sock over it

I burned my fingertip on a ceramic heater in my tortoise habitat. I read online about using vanilla extract so I tried it and it worked immediately!!! There is a flat bister today but no pain. Vanilla worked great. I used pure vanilla extract not the vanilla flavored extract ~ I don't know if both work.
