First, to stop the burning run your hand or affected area under a tap running with
cold water. Next apply one of the remedies for continued relief from pain (some
also help fight infection or blistering):
Egg White: A treatment of cool egg white applied over a burn is a
favored old-timers trick that will bring relief from pain, but many also
believe it helps prevent blisters from forming. Allow to dry then reapply as
needed.
Tea Bags: A wet teabag applied to a burn will bring relief as
well as healing properties from the tannin in the tea. Dunk a fresh teabag a
few times in a cup of cold water then apply to the burn.
Raw Potato: Either grate a bit of raw potato (peeled) or slice off
a piece and apply to burn…you want the juice of the potato to cover the burn
for best results.
Vinegar: Either white household vinegar or apple cider vinegar
will do the trick, just pour a bit over the burn for relief or saturate a cloth
with vinegar and hold over the burn. It also cleans the wound and prevents an
infection caused by bacteria.
Baking Soda & Water Paste: Make a thick paste with cool water then apply to burn
for near instant relief. Reapply as needed (wash off once dry).
Aloe Vera Leaf: This is where having an aloe vera plant growing in the
home comes in handy. Once your plant is large enough, you can regularly snap off
a leaf to keep in the refrigerator–a dab with the cool gel from this plant
brings relief like no other! But aloe vera doesn’t need to be chilled first to
work, break off a piece of the leaf and apply to the burn–you’ll still be
impressed with how fast it works to relieve pain.
