Burns

Please note that the burns being talked about here in this section are small burns that might happen in day-to-day life like touching a hot pan on accident and so on. These will not be effective for serious burns.

Common Mistake:

• Application of any fatty substance to the burn.
• Do not bandage the burn. Keep it open. If you absolutely have to bandage it, to prevent the rubbing off of the medicine, bandage it with some light gauze.

The correct formula: 

Apply something cold immediately - such as cold water, ice cubes etc.

Remedies:

• Apply cold water or ice. After the burning stops, apply bitter ghee to it.
• Apply a paste made of ¼ tsp of sandalwood and ¼ tsp of turmeric in 1 tsp of aloe vera gel. 
• Blend a handful of fresh coriander leaves with about ⅓ cup of water. Strain and drink 2 tsp of the juice thrice a day. Apply the pulp directly on the burnt skin.
