Yes! Yes to Foil for Burns - On Christmas day, I burned four finger tips while grabbing a plate that had been sitting on a hot burner for quite some time. While in excruciating pain.. My awesome sister-in-law looked up what to do on earthclinic.com and recommended wrapping my hand in foil. "Excuse me?! ?! "... But I trusted her and did it. I could definitely feel the throbbing coming and going, but after only 30min I can honestly say that the pain had gone away. So much so... When my husband asked me how my hand was 45 min after the incident... I actually held up my hand to check on it for redness or blisters.. And he laughed because it was the 'OTHER' hand that had been burned. Big Time Believer.

This is so crazy! I can't believe this works. I burned two fingers on my dominant hand about four hours ago and I'm going nuts! I read about the aluminum foil trick and I will say it's been about five minutes and already I can at least stand the pain. I did the cold water thing, but I couldn't take it out for even a few seconds without the pain coming back - I kept it out for about 20 minutes while pacing and talking to myself and now the aluminum foil! Magic. I feel like the pain is slowly easing up!
