Minor burns

Minor burns — red sting from a hot touch; big burns to hospital.

Food Remedies

Main remedy
Hold the burn under cool running water for a full ten minutes — nothing else works as well. After it cools, aloe pulp or a light honey layer soothes and protects. Never ice, ghee or toothpaste on a fresh burn. Blisters bigger than a coin, or any burn on the face, see a doctor.
एलोवेरा
एलोवेरा · Aloe vera
Fresh pulp on the cooled burn, twice daily.
Documented
Aloe applied to burned skin has trial evidence behind it.
CautionNot taken internally in pregnancy — it is a strong laxative and stimulates the uterus. Applying it to the skin is a different matter.
