Burn Home Remedies

When your skin is burned or scalded, the best way to relieve it is to put aloe gel on the affected area as soon as possible. You pick up a whole aloe leaf and peel off one side by knife and collect the gel with a spoon. Spread this gel on your skin burn. The gel will absorb heat from the burn. You had better replace it with new gel periodically in order to absorb extra heat from the burn. If necessary you can use a bandage. Aloe gel will not only absorb heat to reduce pain but also protect the skin. When my mother was scalded by boiling water on her hand, she spread as much aloe gel as possible and frequently replaced as much aloe gel as possible and frequently replaced it. She successfully treated her scald by herself and no scar was found on her hand.Ê This is applicable only for small size burns. If you are heavily damaged, you must ask a doctor. Aloe is an easy plant to grow. I advice you to grow aloe in your home.Ê
