• 2

  Pat the area dry and do not rub the area.

  Rub honey (preferably organic) onto the burn. Use a generous amount so that the layer is a few millimeters thick on your skin.

  Wrap the burn area in plastic wrap tightly to ensure the honey on the skin will stay on that area.

• 5

  Wrap a cloth bandage wrap around the plastic wrap to keep entire bandage secure.
