Burns

Sun, cooking, carpet/rug, water, steam, engine, even the trampoline. Burns are going to happen one way or another so here is a resource list of what you can do to stop the burn and start the healing. Every time we have a burn issue, I reach for my burn spray, followed up with burn salve. They work wonders.

• Flush skin with cold water until pain stops. Keep clean, rinse with lavender water.

• Burn Soother Spray

• Burn Salve

• Comfrey Salve

• Raw honey

• Redmond clay gel

• Vitamin E Oil

• Raw potato or cucumber - slice and apply to burn.

• Egg white, applied to burn in layers.

• Witch hazel or apple cider vinegar (dilute vinegar with water ½ and ½)

• Dr. Christopher Burn Ointment: equal parts raw honey, comfrey powder, wheat germ oil.

Prepare by making a tea and putting in a spray bottle to spray down burn, this is especially effective for a sunburn. You could also use a compress, poultice, oil, salve, or bath. 

• Aloe vera (slice open a leaf and apply directly to burn)

• Calendula

• Comfrey

• Lavender

• Marshmallow (root and leaves)

• Plantain

• Rose

• St. John’s Wort

Apply directly to the area of concern with a little carrier oil.

• Lavender - in my opinion the best burn remedy

• Helichrysum

• Ravensara

• Eucalyptus

• Geranium

• Melaleuca

• Peppermint

• Roman chamomile

• Spikenard

• Balsam fir

• Rose
