Sunburn

Sunburn — red stinging skin that later peels.

Food Remedies

Main remedy
Cool (not ice) water compress, fresh aloe gel or cold curd on the skin, and watery foods inside — the burn calms in days.
एलोवेरादही
एलोवेरा · Aloe vera
Fresh leaf gel straight on the 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.
दही · Curd
Cold curd layer 15 minutes, rinse — lactic acid soothes and heals.
