any natural cures for minor burns?

Answer 1

For first degree burns, rinse with cool water from the tap, pat dry then apply apple cider vinegar to stop the pain. Pat dry and apply pure essential oil of lavender as an antiseptic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Works wonders! Usually prevents blistering, too.

If you don't have Lavender on hand, you can substitute Chamomile (German or Roman) or Tea Tree oil.

I like Aloe, too, but mainly to relieve pain and speed healing. Lavender is best (IMO) for preventing infection.

Answer 2

Superficial burns can be treated easily at home, the best way is to cool and soothe the burn with water for 10 - 20 minutes until the burning feeling stops, usually by having a cool shower or bath. Small areas can be cooled under a running tap. Do not use ice to cool the burn, as if the area goes numb it may cause frostbite, leading to more damage to the skin. When the burning sensation stops, leave it to heal on its own
There are many home cures for soothing small burns, including anti-inflammatories (eg, aloe vera - best if straight from the plant) and cooling agents (eg, mint, but not mint toothpaste). However, many of these do not help burns at all, and some can even damage them even more (toothpaste can actually open up wounds). Aloe vera gel, lavender oil and lemon juice are home cures for burning that are pretty well foolproof, though these should not be used for burns where the skin has been broken because they can infect the wound. Never put greasy substances such as butter on a burn, because these will trap in the heat and don't allow the burn to cool down. Honey has antibacterial properties and will promote healing. After applying honey cover the area with some gauze. Or apply regular yellow mustard to the burn. Once it dries, wash it off and this will prevent it from blistering.
Another is vitamin E cream applied to affected area and taking vitamin E supplements will help also. This will not cure the burn but it will help reduce itching and will speed recovery.
Coconut oil and camphor: In case of minor burns that leave scars, this is a good recipe. Take 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and add to it one teaspoon of camphor powder. Rub thoroughly into the burn mark or scar at least 10 minutes before your bath. Use regularly for quick results. There will be a marked lightening of the scar after a few days.

Answer 3

Dandelion Tea cures most minor colds! For more serious colds use Eucalyptus or Ecchinecea!

Answer 4

Aloe is really good; especially directly from the plant itself. Its a common house plant.

Some people use butter; but don't ever do that. It can help breed an infection.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Speaking Homeopathically you should use Calendula 30c, both topically and orally. Esp. if the wound is in danger of infection. Other rx's to consider are Cantharis and Hypericum, depending on the type of pain and accompanying sensations.
