10 Home Remedies For Burns
Home Remedy #7: Vinegar
Among the various uses of vinegar is its application as an antiseptic. This means that vinegar reduces the number of microorganisms such as bacteria on a surface where it is applied. In the case of burns, this is a beneficial effect as it reduces the chances of infections occurring following the breakdown of skin. Additionally, vinegar helps in the removal of dead tissues and debris, which facilitates the maintenance of a clean surface that promotes healing and further reduces infections.
To use vinegar, mix in a ratio of 1:1 with water and use the mixture to clean the burn site. Thereafter, you can soak a piece of cloth in the solution and use it to cover the affected area. You can change the piece of cloth every 2 to 3 hours until you get relief from pain.
