I am one of those who always struggle in kitchen with everything and end up either burning or cutting themselves carelessly. Ever since I can remember, each time I have entered the kitchen I haven’t come out without causing damage to me and the kitchen. Skin burns caused by electric irons, cooking (frying, baking, boiling, roasting), etc are part of everyone’s life and I want share with everyone how to deal with them immediately so that it doesn’t form a dreadful boil full of puss or leave any ugly marks. If you have fatal burns these quick remedies are sure to provide you with temporary relief till you can visit a doc. Check out these effective home remedies:

Aloe vera: It is my favourite. If you don’t already have some aloe vera, first thing that you have to do is plant an aloe vera, for it has numerous herbal uses. To treat burn apply a freshly cut aloe leaf. It is said to have astringent and tissue-healing properties which cures all sort of skin problems very easily.

Turmeric: Turmeric paste is the best home medication to avoid infections in addition it keeps your skin flawless. Magic of turmeric are so powerful that it has received a special status in Indian marriage rituals. About two days ahead of wedding each bride is covered with piles of turmeric paste (turmeric powder, besan or gram flour, curd and water).

Honey: Turmeric-honey mixture heals burn faster diminishes pain and no scarring at all. Easiest of all the home remedies.

Olive oil or Lavender oil: Lavender essential oil is an efficient antiseptic and also acts as a smooth pain relieving agent that aids in quick healing. Also it reduces eventual scaring. Apply it regularly and over a few weeks, you won’t even remember that you were burnt. If the burns are terminal keep applying it every few hours for few weeks. While Olive oil helps remove all the blemishes left by burn leaving your skin smooth and shining.

Vinegar: Diluted vinegar relaxes the muscles of affected area and relives you from all the pain. Dip a piece of cloth in it and apply. Keeping repeating it until the pain complete subsides.

Do not ever bandage a fresh burn. Skin requires air to heal, I am told.
