Egg Whites for Burns--Best Remedy

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.

Yes, egg whites are shockingly effective for burns and can almost magically break a fever when applied to the soles of the feet. But here’s the thing: the secret lies in the prep, and most people miss it entirely.

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!

Cancer patients take note: egg whites work for radiation burns as well:

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.

First time I heard about egg whites for burns was from the book “Brotherless night” set in Sri Lanka. I followed that up with a medical study from Iran, then found this thread.

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.

Egg Whites: Great healer for a scalding burn

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.

Burned my little finger on my hand quite thoroughly. Here in Mexico Melipona Honey (from stingless bees) is predominant (over Manuka). This is an awesome remedy, BUT for quick relief, Egg Whites are the thing!!

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!!

I once was trying to light my cigarette (I know not healthy) and it was windy outside I thought I was using my regular lighter but picked up a torch lighter and ended up burning the inside of my hand that was right next to my thumb and forefinger and boyyyy did it hurt. I remember running into the kitchen grabbing 2 eggs separating the yolk from the egg whites and taking a paper towel and soaking them in the white and placing it right on my hand . I then got a zip lock and put some ice cubes in and a dry hand towel and wrapped the bag of ice and placed in on the paper towel to keep the egg whites cold on the burn had to reapply after 20 mins and then after about another 15 the pain was completely gone. It was red but no longer hurt.. I run to this remedy now whenever I accidentally burn myself.and the best thing yet I never got a burn blister or a scar...

I used egg whites on a sunburn a few years back. I used a blush brush and brushed it on several times creating a layered effect. The egg white completely took the burn out of the skin and I was no longer in pain. It works great and I'll always use it for every burn from now on.

Egg whites really work. My mother was moving a corning ware dish with boiling water in it and the handle came off. Boiling water all over my leg. I whipped the jeans off (pain, pain, pain), my mother quickly broke some eggs, took the whites, and covered the large red burned area. Later there was still some red but 90% was clear. Thank you mom...and egg whites.

I got a hot water burn on my hand. Treated with THC Honey and essential oils, which were all great and very soothing.

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.
