I heard the remedy of egg whites from my great grandmother. I’m 39 years old now this was a couple years ago, but I was telling somebody else about the egg white treatment for Burns recently
I was working in the oil field in North Dakota in the middle of winter. It was actually Christmas Day 2022 it was -30° outside Fahrenheit I was a solid control specialist meaning I took care of all the dirt from the drilling rig as they drove new oil wells,
you’re completely by yourself when you work in this environment, no one will see you for 12 hours there was thick snow on the ground in a pump it frozen on me I drained the hoses, but in this temperature, they freeze quickly,
we were drilling with freshwater cause it was surface drilling meaning the first 2000 feet we drill I had checked the top of the hose and it was not frozen, and I removed the intake from the pump and it was good too so I decided to crack the discharge of the pump to see what the problem was we heat up the water to make sure things don’t freeze in this temperature. We keep it warm and water, moving the water naturally warm up because of the temperature of the Earth as we’re drilling down
this water was over 200°F
I cracked the hose a 3 inch line. It was under high-pressure. The pump blew and the hose and it threw me i’m 6 foot two and 220 pounds so it was a lot of pressure
it was very cold out, so I was wearing a ski mask the hot water went all over my face, especially on the left side
I ripped the ski mask off because the water was stuck on it, and it was burning me. I had a burns on my left side in the shape of the threads of the ski mask,
it was a buzzard outside. Everything was closed, and I didn’t like reporting things to the safety person anyway because they make a big deal about everything and you could potentially lose your job
so then I remembered something. My great grandmother had told me about egg whites I went into my room as we live on site in these conditions, this is a personal number. See you also is the middle of the night in a blizzard so nobody was looking anyway
I went inside and I eat a lot of bags so I cracked about six of them, took the yolks out and only use the white
I still have work to do so. I cracked them in a bowl, and I carried it with me and I kept applying it to the burn on my face which was substantial it was beginning to blister I kept doing this every five minutes all night as soon as I felt pain on my face from the burn, I would add more egg white I finished my shift up, and continue the treatment in my room, and I went to sleep with the egg white on my face
when I woke up, there was no blistering. It was only red the egg whites really work. It’s basically like plasma for humans I have complete faith in this method and I think if I would try to drive to a hospital before I treated anything I would’ve had bad blistering potentially permanent scarring on my face no need to even stop working with the egg whites
I very much trust this method and know it works
I hope this helps somebody else out. This is why I’m supposed to it. Have a wonderful day
so in conclusion, I used six eggs in a bowl. I kept the yolk in it. I just cracked it to let the fluid seep out without cracking the yolk, I then just use my fingers to keep applying it to my face probably a risk of salmonella, but I don’t really care.
this amount of egg White fluid was enough to keep applying to my face every 3 to 5 minutes as the pain came back I kept doing this anytime. I felt pain for the next two days, and there was no permanent damage to my face and it healed rather quickly. I was surprised how much by the next day.

A few years ago, on Christmas Eve, as I was preparing my contribution to take to our families party I burned my arm in my oven. I searched EC and found the egg white method. I scrambled the egg white and gently placed it on the burned area. I let it dry. Used a warm water paper towel to gently remove the egg white and repeated the process 3-4 more times. After this I had to shower before heading to the party. The warm shower water never bothered the burned area on my arm. A few weeks later a small water blister appeared on my arm and I had zero idea why. It took me a couple minutes to realize it was the same location as I burn I got on Christmas Eve. I've been using scrambled Egg White remedy ever since.

Inside every egg are three parts: the thin albumen, the thick albumen, and the yolk. For this remedy, you want the thin albumen—the clear, runny liquid that comes out first when you crack the egg. The thicker, gloopy stuff that follows? Not your guy.
Here’s how to do it right:
1.Crack a small hole in the egg and carefully collect only the thin albumen into a cup.
2.Whisk it like your life depends on it (vigorously! ) until it’s frothy and bubbly.
That froth? That’s where the magic happens. Without it, the egg white’s potent healing properties won’t fully activate. I’ve only ever seen this fail when the prep was done wrong. Try it, see for yourself, and pass it on!

I grew up with egg whites as a home remedy to relieve pain and speed up healing of burns (ones that had no broken skin). When radiation ended up being part of my cancer treatment I religiously followed up every treatment first with compresses of a solution of baking soda with water followed by raw egg white compresses. My radiologists were shocked that my VERY pale skin did not burn and blister. Aside from a bit of redness, slight itching and a couple of very small blisters I sailed through radiation thanks to this protocol.

The Iranian study also suggested using garlic as an antibacterial ointment. There is so much healing in nature that we have forgotten in our rush for ”progress”
I was recently bitten by insect unknown in Portugal. My skin swelled in painful itchy seeping bumps for 3 days before a local reached down and plucked a “weed” from the field we were working in. He squeezed the yellow sap from the stem onto each of the swollen bites. Immediate relief! The next morning no sign of irritation and no scarring....I usually scar badly.

I burned my hand while holding a thermos bottle and pouring boiling water into the thermos bottle. For whatever reason the boiling water exceeded the mouth of the thermos and burned the back of my hand, between the fingers and the inside of the hand. Got the hand under cold water ASAP and left it there to cool it down which really helped prevent blistering, though the tissues did swell. Once the hand could leave the running cold water for a bit, I applied egg white to all of the burned area and then some. Let it dry and went on with the chores of the day. Within 1/2 hour of having the egg white on the horrible intense pain was gone and all that remained was very tender tissue. Needing to wash my hands a few times with the chores of the day I continued reapplying egg white for the rest of the day so that the hand remained with egg white on it for a good 8 hours during the day. Come night, there was still some very tender skin across the knuckles that attach the fingers to the palm of the hand and I opted to apply more egg white, let it dry, put a glove over the hand and go to bed for the night. Come morning the tenderness was still there, but less. With the immediate cold water and putting on egg whites as often as I felt was required, there are no blisters and the burn is healing quickly.

After burning two fingers with hot water!, I first tried 1 Egg White!! This took the pain away, instantly! 10 mins later I used melipona honey over the area, wrapped it - and now, 2hrs later, its like it never happened! No bumps, no bruises, no injured areas! Its like it never even happened.
This was a bad one though, so I had to soak the burned area for, like, 10 whole minutes!!

On day 3 small blisters showed up anyways; they were small and painless, but blisters can be a real problem. So I put 1 nice cold egg white on it. I would dunk my hand, then pull it out and let it dry and did this for 4 coats of egg white. I covered with more honey over that, wrapped in loose gauze overnight, and now the next day, no blisters and it feels great! Thanks, Earth Clinic!
Happy healing, everybody.

Instead, I searched for burn remedies in case there were some I didn't know about. The first one that made any sense was egg whites. Two went into a saucer, my hand soaking until I could lift it with minimal pain. For now (roughly 45 mins after the incident), I'm leaving the dried egg on. It hurts in proportion to how much I move my hand. At least I'm not stuck at the sink! I plan on using some honey (raw, unfiltered) once I feel the whites can be washed off.

Due to an accident in which I spilled scalding hot water on tender skin on the underside of my wrists and was in terrible pain, I used egg white. Please note that the skin was not broken. First, I ran cool water over my wrists for 30 minutes, which took a lot of the initial heat out. However, unless I kept icy compresses on my wrists the pain was extreme and my wrists were still bright red. Even homeopathic cantharsis did not reduce the pain or redness. I decided to try egg whites, applied with a cotton swab. Pain was reduced to a tolerable level and redness diminished.
I did this several times, rinsing egg white off with cool water and reapplying egg white and allowing time for it to dry. With every application of egg white the pain diminished more and the color finally went to pink instead of red.
At this level of discomfort, I was able to sleep. When I woke the next morning the pain was totally gone. The area still remained somewhat pink, but there was no blistering and I was able to function completely normally. After coming home from work, I applied more egg white and did so again this morning. I'm writing this 48 hours after the injury and am still pain free, but the burn is still pink. There was also some swelling initially, which is gone this morning.

By this morning I had completely forgotten the incident. Then I noticed a few small blisters but a few hours later they all but one disappeared.
There is redness on the skin but no pain. I had similar burns before, but never have they healed so quickly.

I had a crock pot full of hot soup that I was putting in the fridge. Just as I got to the shelf the crock broke in half. Luckily I had an oven mit on my right hand. No so lucky I only had a pot holder in the left hand Well my left hand got toasted I immediately put it in a ice bath for some time. I then applied home grown aloe I applied the aloe for a couple of days. Then hurricane Irma hit I kept
The wounds covered with antibacterial gauze and antibiotic gel and wraps while doing yard work the next 3 days. The pain level was high Then Thursday after Irma hit Ft Myers FL a friend told me about egg whites I thought ok why not. So glad I did, the healing process has been quick. Not totally healed yet but the pain level has gone down greatly and healing seems faster than the antibiotic gel.
I'm a waitress so I have to put bandages on the affected areas They're not pretty. But now using two bandages instead of three. The top of my left hand, three fingers and the bottom of my wrist were affected. I only have to bandage the top of hand now. Love natural cures! Stiil have some time to heal as I believe 3 Rd degree burns were incurred. I thank my friend for the advice. Wish I had known a few days earlier.

Back in the 80's I foolishly opened my truck radiator cap. The fluid burst up hitting the hood and came down on my right arm. Burning me from shoulder to wrist with second degree burns. We found a hose and began rinsing my arm. A friend sent his daughter into a nearby store and had her buy 1/2 dz eggs. As the skin on my arm was literally sliding off he applied the whites and the pain stopped. I applied egg whites for several days afterwards. My arm completely healed without a single scar.

I had the opportunity to test out a natural burn remedy. I was pulling a very hot dish out of the oven with a damp rag because it was handy. I know better. The heat went through that damp towel fast and a burned my hand. I was in a hurry (thus the foolish potholder alternative) and didn't want to go get the healing salve or lavender. I just kept cooking. I had a raw onion sitting thought that might help. I rubbed it on the burn. Nope.
Next I was cracking eggs and I recalled reading about egg whites for burns here at Earth Clinic. I quickly wiped some of the white onto the burn and carried on. I let it dry.
Sure enough, it stopped the pain! I don't know the chemistry behind it but it worked.

My mom used this as a remedy for me growing up. It absolutely works for minor kitchen burns. It forms a nice "fake" skin over the area too, protecting the burn from the air. Just separate yolks and fill a small container with the whites.

I had the unpleasant experience of being burned to the second degree in my face and even my eyes by boiling water. Fortunately, my wife remembered having heard about egg white as the best cure. Indeed it was. She applied many coats of egg white all over my face immediately after the accident. In all she applied at least 20 coats, leaving each coat to dry for a few minutes. It creates a second skin that cuts 100% of the pain in a minute, so much that I was able to sleep the night it happened.
That new egg white skin contains an amazing amount of natural important vitamins. A friend also told her to give me abundant doses of vitamin C, D3, and E. I took at least 20,000 mg of Vitamin C per day, devided in 2000 to 3000 mg every hour. I didn't mind taking it at night. I had the best surprise after less then 5 days, to see my face completely healed, although I had lost the original skin. It was amazing, not even a single scar. My face skin looked even better than before as it's brand new. All my friends couldn't believe their eyes how fast it healed. I lost only 3 days of work. I have to mention that we went to the doctor, but only after I was healed just to double check if everything was ok. He said he wouldn't have done better and he even took note of what we did. Don't ever forget that amazing natural cure that can save pain and problem for you or your loved ones.
