Instructions

• 1

  Apply 1 tablespoon of honey to the area that has been burned. With the tip of your fingers, rub in the honey and allow it to sit for 10 minutes before rinsing clean with cool water.

• 2

  Rub 2 tablespoons of unflavored pure yogurt directly on the burn. Allow the yogurt to soak into the burn for 15 minutes. To remove, take a soft linen cloth and dab the cloth in cool water. Use slow motions to remove the yogurt from your skin.

• 3

  Break open an egg and strain out the egg white. Apply only the egg whites directly on your burn for immediate relief. Allow the egg whites to soak into the burn for 5 minutes and gently wash clean with cool water.

• 4

  Cut an onion in half and place the open half directly onto the burned area. The odor of an onion can be quite strong; however, you will have immediate pain relief with the onion juices. Keep the onion on the burn until the burning sensation is gone.

  Mix pure aloe vera gel with three drops of lavender oil. Stir these ingredients to ensure they are properly mixed and with your fingers slowly apply this solution to your burn. This treatment will stop the burning sensation and will heal the burn fast.
