Question:
Home Remedies for Helping Burns Heal Faster? Earlier this week, my sister suffered a small but severe chemical burn. It's about 4"x6" and is composed of 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her upper thigh. She's been to the hospital, and they've put her on pain killers and antibiotics. Unfortunately, she's a slow healer and we're worried if she doesn't heal fast enough she'll have to get a skin graft, which would just cause more pain and scarring. So I'm wondering, does anyone know of any herbal/home remedies to help speed the healing? Anything she can take or put on the wound would be great.
Answer: The best treatment I have ever found for burns is ALOE. If you can get the plant just cut off a leaf and slice lengthwise across the width. The inside of the leaf is very sappy and juicy. Lay that juicy side on the burn and tie it so it stays there. Change the leaf out when it starts to dry out. The healing power of the plant is tremendous. I've seen some real bad burns that didn't even leave a scar when treated with the Aloe.
