Remedy from burns
Three years ago I fried chichen in oil and along with it two fingers on my right hand.. lol! Instantly, I had a 3rd degree burn, the skin on both fingers turned into one huge blister, so it was painfully even look at it. My pain level was 11 on scale 1 to 10, so I had to fill an emergency prescription for Vicodin... In short, my burns very very severe. The doctor prescribed some medicated ointment which did nothing but to prevent an infection. I had to wear a huge bandage on my fingers, so I couldn't type or write. Two weeks passed by and I didn't see ANY improvement. The blistered skin deflated and ripped, and the naked flesh was very painful to touch. It was a torture to change bandages every day. So after two weeks of no improvements I started searching for alternative cures. I came across a website, which claimed that natural HONEY is the best remedy for burns, and some individuals treated their severe burns in a week time. It sounded crazy, but I had nothing to lose. So, I've bought natural honey at Jewel, sterilized cosmetic scissors and removed dead/blistered skin to expose unprotected flesh (this step is essential in order to prevent scars). It was brudal and gross at the same time... I've applied generous amount of honey DIRECTLY on the burns and then bandaged them. I've changed bandages twice a day, reapplying honey again (there is no need to clean the area before each application, because honey sort of melts and part of it gets absorbed by flesh and a bandage). Only seven (7) days later - I've got new skin and din't have to wear any bandage anymore! It was like a miracle! Evidently, honey is a natural antiseptic, that is why it helps to heal as well as to prevent an infection. But the best part was a surprize after my skin was healed - I have no scar whatsoever! Looking at my hand no one can tell that I had any kind of burns on my hand.
If any of you need to ask more questions about my experiece - please don't hesitate to email me: devchonkat@yahoo.com.

This sounds a little crazy but it works! If you burn your tounge, immediately dump a sugar packet into your mouth. Let the sugar sit on your tounge until it's disolved. You won't even notice you burned it. Since I heard this, I never leave home without a sugar packet in my purse.

Came across your site and thought i'd submit something.
I know of an exceptionally effective natural remedy for healing burns and lowering a fever: egg whites.
Egg whites are by far the best method to lower a high temperature within MINUTES! When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I had acquired a fever so high that I started to hallucinate. My mother was in a panic, she feared brain damage if something didn't lower the fever and FAST. My grandma told her to soak 2 cloths or hankerchiefs in egg whites and put on the soles of the feet (cover with socks). The egg whites instantaneously start to draw the temperature DOWN from the brain (where it is dangerous) to the feet (where it can do no damage). After that incident my mom used this method successfully every time I had high temp.
The egg whites are also a miracle cure for burns, even severe ones. Soak or coat affected area in egg white. While the egg white is still wet you will feel no pain from the burn. As soon as it dries up the pain comes back so reapplication is necessary. This method not only aleviates the pain it actually heals and prevents scarring from the burn.
I submited this remedy to earthclinic.com and there has been a lot of positive feed back: http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/fever.html
I would like to let more people know about the miraculous effectiveness of treating fevers and burns with egg whites so please post this on your site if you deem fit.
Best regards,
Ani from Ontario, Canada

Colgate toothpaste is a great salve for burns.

Clean with household anti-bacterial soap (aka Dial or Safeguard) then take a bowl of COOL, definetly not cold, and soak a few regular grocery store black tea bags into the water for a few minutes (during this time, take an Advil or other ibuprofen type based pain reliever to reduce swelling as well as the pain). When the tea has steeped into the water, soak the affected area (the tannic acid naturally found in black tea dramatically reduces the pain associated with household burns that do not require professional medical treatment). Once the area begins to feel better, do NOT rinse the tea off the skin; however, just GENTLY bandage the area with NON-STICK breathable (aka no plastic bandages). I hope this helps you should you ever have to endure the pain of burns. See also, the topic of sunburn.

There are many treatments for burns. For small burns i would recommend icing immediately even though everyone else says not to. I'm 75% burned from a large fire. Severely burned. I keep getting minor burns and i find that immediate icing with quick removal when icing burns and re-ice when that calms. Keep a happy medium of comfort for at least a half hr or so and keep away from heat for a while. If blistering i'll have add another remedy.

Burns:
If you have a small burn, take witch hazel and put it on the area where the burn is..if u keep the witch hazel there the burn will not hurt, but once u move the witch hazel ur gonna feel that pain again..it helps for temp. relief..
Also for burn use a aloe vera plant, take one of the leave type things open it up to where the gell type stuff is out and rub it on the area where the burn or cut is...

For small superficial burns use a slice of onion. I use to work at a returaunt and would get burned all the time my boss would always say ' slap some onion on it' . Also I just burned myself trying to putout my husbands cigarette and it worked for that too. it stinks but the pain is gone. ;)
