I thank God and Earthclinic for the aloe vera and aluminum foil remedy. I burned my finger on a pan. After icing for 3 hours and taking a pain pill, the pain continued as intensely as at the onset. After reading Earthclinic's suggestion and all the testimonies, I cut a piece off of our Aloe Vera plant and squeezed the juice on my burn, then I wrapped my finger in foil. The pain subsided within minutes. I thank God for His providence through plants and minerals and the ingenuity to figure out how to use them!

I was cooking last night, and burned myself. As is my 1st line of defense (or offense, I would say)...I always check earthclinic. I discovered and tried the Aluminum Foil. It worked within 10 minutes! I had run cold water, and held ice cubes on the burn, and it was still burning like crazy! I wrapped the foil around my wrist; and had my daughter tape it in place...and kept preparing dinner. The pain was gone immediately! It's now the next morning, and still no pain. As always, thanks to this website, I found a natural and inexpensive remedy!

OMG. I tried aluminum foil for a burn with gr8 skepticism. It worked in 20 min after 4 hours of excruciating pain trying everything else first.

It works set fire to my hand while trying to refill a BBQ lighter. In agony. Every time I took my hand out of cold water. After an hour if trying to make it stop hurting and out of desperation I applied petroleum jelly and foil. It got worse at first but then stopped! My husband thinks it is very funny that I'm sitting with a tin foil glove but I don't care I'm just glad it's stopped!

Accidentally placed my hand on hot element today, not realizing my sister had turned on the stove.. Immediately put it under cold water for about 10 minutes and then resorted to applying toothpaste on my 3 burnt fingers. This worked for about 15 minutes, until the pain came back and I had rinse it off and reapply. By the third time I got fed up and decided to ice it. 5 icecubes later (2 or so hours), I thought the pain had gone away. Little did I know that within two minutes of taking off the ice, the pain would be back, worse than ever. I thought maybe I got frostbite I went oand began to panic. Went on the google and landed on this page. I must say I was relieved to find out that people had the same reaction to ice I did. However, I remained skeptical about the aluminum foil. After reading what was probably 30 comments, I decided to give it a try. The pain got worse for about 5 minutes but it is now completely gone! How have I never heard about this remedy before? Thanks for posting your stories everyone! THIS WORKS!!!

I have to admit even after reading others testimonies about aluminum foil for a burn I was still skeptical, but like the others who posted I was desperate for some relief. After ice for 2 hours I started looking on the web for relief because as soon as I stopped icing the pain returned within seconds. I had burnt my finger on a fuse in my truck that I tried to wiggle because my power windows wouldn't roll up. It instantly left a white square layer of burnt skin on my finger. Anyway I found this website, slathered on a huge amount of aloe, wrapped my fingerip in foil. The burning continued so I would occasionally lay my finger on a damp wssh cloth to stop the pain. Now maybe 20 minutes or so later, I haven't used the washcloth to stop the pain and can barely feel the burn anymore. AMAZING!! TY SO MUCH TO THOSE OF U WHO POSTED ABOUT THIS!!

After discovering Earth Clinic and sharing all the wonderful remedies I was reading about, I thought perhaps did I create this to test out one of them? LOL! So I'm cooking and forget to put my mitts on when taking a ceramic pot out of the oven (which I use on the stove and never use the mitts)! Anyway, my palm was bright red and hurt badly. I read on Earth Clinic about using the shiny part of the foil to dissipate the pain and putting on aloe vera gel so I immediately put both on and wrapped it like a mitt - and voila, the pain disappeared - and I totally forgot about it all day. A day or two later, there was no evidence of the burn! Thank you to Earth Clinic and everybody who writes in to share their incredible stories of healing!

Aluminum foil for burns:

Truthfully, I did not think this would work. I did it out of desperation. I tried ice for 3 hours, Aloe, Apple cider vinegar, more ice, and then more Aloe. I was still in pain and the stinging would not go away. I burnt myself cooking when I lifted a lid to boiling hot liquid. My hands were red, swollen and blistered. I put the foil on for 12 min. Before the sting started to go away. I plan to leave it for 45 min. Total. Not sure why but it works!

I burned my arm from my wrist to my shoulder. While holding it under cold water, I came to this site to find out what I could do for my pain. After several hours of back and forth to the sink and reading all the "YEAS" to aluminum foil, (in desperiation for relief) I wrapped my whole arm and waited. IT WORKED!!! Ten min passed, I was uncomfortable, 20 min passed... I was determined to wait it out, then 30 min to 1 hour.... I was smiling. I left it wrapped for 3 hours. I did remove it before going to bed. I haven't experienced any pain at all! I am so thankful for all of you! THANK YOU! #forevergrateful

Aluminum foil and aloe for burns: I'm still in shock that this actually works. Every mother's worst nightmare is having to watch your child suffer and not being able to do anything about it. My son who is 8 was roasting marshmallows, and in his excitement grabbed the metal end instead of the marshmallow. He has really bad burns on his thumb and pointer finger. It was charred black, and what wasn't black is raised white blistering. After 20 minutes of cold running water, he would scream every time the water wasn't running on it. I found this website and tried the toothpaste idea. BAD IDEA!!! He screamed like he was being tortured and his crying got even worse. I didn't have a fresh aloe plant, but had a bottle if the green colored aloe gel. This only helped for 5-10 seconds before he'd cry and want more. At that rate I would be applying gel all night and he would never be able to sleep. After traumatizing him with the toothpaste he was unwilling to try anything else, but I read some of the foil testimony to him and he was willing to try it if I put a squirt of aloe in the foil before I wrapped his fingers. He didn't like it at first but there was no screaming. I reminded him everyone said it took a few minutes to work. He wiggled and whined for a few minutes and got very quiet. He asked for a drink and in the 60 seconds it took me to leave the room and get it, when I returned he had fallen asleep. It releaved the pain so well that he is now sleeping soundly with his little foil fingers. I am such a relieved mommy and might actually be able to sleep a little tonight if it continues to work!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Earth Clinic!!!!!!

Aluminum foil and aloe for burns: I'm still in shock that this actually works. Every mother's worst nightmare is having to watch your child suffer and not being able to do anything about it. My son who is 8 was roasting marshmallows, and in his excitement grabbed the metal end instead of the marshmallow. He has really bad burns on his thumb and pointer finger. It was charred black, and what wasn't black is raised white blistering. After 20 minutes of cold running water, he would scream every time the water wasn't running on it. I found this website and tried the toothpaste idea. BAD IDEA!!! He screamed like he was being tortured and his crying got even worse. I didn't have a fresh aloe plant, but had a bottle if the green colored aloe gel. This only helped for 5-10 seconds before he'd cry and want more. At that rate I would be applying gel all night and he would never be able to sleep. After traumatizing him with the toothpaste he was unwilling to try anything else, but I read some of the foil testimony to him and he was willing to try it if I put a squirt of aloe in the foil before I wrapped his fingers. He didn't like it at first but there was no screaming. I reminded him everyone said it took a few minutes to work. He wiggled and whined for a few minutes and got very quiet. He asked for a drink and in the 60 seconds it took me to leave the room and get it, when I returned he had fallen asleep. It releaved the pain so well that he is now sleeping soundly with his little foil fingers. I am such a relieved mommy and might actually be able to sleep a little tonight if it continues to work!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Earth Clinic!!!!!!

I thank God and Earthclinic for the aloe vera and aluminum foil remedy. I burned my finger on a pan. After icing for 3 hours and taking a pain pill, the pain continued as intensely as at the onset. After reading Earthclinic's suggestion and all the testimonies, I cut a piece off of our Aloe Vera plant and squeezed the juice on my burn, then I wrapped my finger in foil. The pain subsided within minutes. I thank God for His providence through plants and minerals and the ingenuity to figure out how to use them!

I was cooking last night, and burned myself. As is my 1st line of defense (or offense, I would say)...I always check earthclinic. I discovered and tried the Aluminum Foil. It worked within 10 minutes! I had run cold water, and held ice cubes on the burn, and it was still burning like crazy! I wrapped the foil around my wrist; and had my daughter tape it in place...and kept preparing dinner. The pain was gone immediately! It's now the next morning, and still no pain. As always, thanks to this website, I found a natural and inexpensive remedy!

It works set fire to my hand while trying to refill a BBQ lighter. In agony. Every time I took my hand out of cold water. After an hour if trying to make it stop hurting and out of desperation I applied petroleum jelly and foil. It got worse at first but then stopped! My husband thinks it is very funny that I'm sitting with a tin foil glove but I don't care I'm just glad it's stopped!

Accidentally placed my hand on hot element today, not realizing my sister had turned on the stove.. Immediately put it under cold water for about 10 minutes and then resorted to applying toothpaste on my 3 burnt fingers. This worked for about 15 minutes, until the pain came back and I had rinse it off and reapply. By the third time I got fed up and decided to ice it. 5 icecubes later (2 or so hours), I thought the pain had gone away. Little did I know that within two minutes of taking off the ice, the pain would be back, worse than ever. I thought maybe I got frostbite I went oand began to panic. Went on the google and landed on this page. I must say I was relieved to find out that people had the same reaction to ice I did. However, I remained skeptical about the aluminum foil. After reading what was probably 30 comments, I decided to give it a try. The pain got worse for about 5 minutes but it is now completely gone! How have I never heard about this remedy before? Thanks for posting your stories everyone! THIS WORKS!!!

I have to admit even after reading others testimonies about aluminum foil for a burn I was still skeptical, but like the others who posted I was desperate for some relief. After ice for 2 hours I started looking on the web for relief because as soon as I stopped icing the pain returned within seconds. I had burnt my finger on a fuse in my truck that I tried to wiggle because my power windows wouldn't roll up. It instantly left a white square layer of burnt skin on my finger. Anyway I found this website, slathered on a huge amount of aloe, wrapped my fingerip in foil. The burning continued so I would occasionally lay my finger on a damp wssh cloth to stop the pain. Now maybe 20 minutes or so later, I haven't used the washcloth to stop the pain and can barely feel the burn anymore. AMAZING!! TY SO MUCH TO THOSE OF U WHO POSTED ABOUT THIS!!

After discovering Earth Clinic and sharing all the wonderful remedies I was reading about, I thought perhaps did I create this to test out one of them? LOL! So I'm cooking and forget to put my mitts on when taking a ceramic pot out of the oven (which I use on the stove and never use the mitts)! Anyway, my palm was bright red and hurt badly. I read on Earth Clinic about using the shiny part of the foil to dissipate the pain and putting on aloe vera gel so I immediately put both on and wrapped it like a mitt - and voila, the pain disappeared - and I totally forgot about it all day. A day or two later, there was no evidence of the burn! Thank you to Earth Clinic and everybody who writes in to share their incredible stories of healing!

Aluminum foil for burns:

Truthfully, I did not think this would work. I did it out of desperation. I tried ice for 3 hours, Aloe, Apple cider vinegar, more ice, and then more Aloe. I was still in pain and the stinging would not go away. I burnt myself cooking when I lifted a lid to boiling hot liquid. My hands were red, swollen and blistered. I put the foil on for 12 min. Before the sting started to go away. I plan to leave it for 45 min. Total. Not sure why but it works!

I burned my arm from my wrist to my shoulder. While holding it under cold water, I came to this site to find out what I could do for my pain. After several hours of back and forth to the sink and reading all the "YEAS" to aluminum foil, (in desperiation for relief) I wrapped my whole arm and waited. IT WORKED!!! Ten min passed, I was uncomfortable, 20 min passed... I was determined to wait it out, then 30 min to 1 hour.... I was smiling. I left it wrapped for 3 hours. I did remove it before going to bed. I haven't experienced any pain at all! I am so thankful for all of you! THANK YOU! #forevergrateful
