10 Home Remedies For Burns
Home Remedy #9: Lavender Essential Oil
Minor burns can also be treated using lavender oil. This essential oil has pain-relieving as well as antiseptic properties. An added unique benefit of using lavender oil in managing minor burns is that it reduces the scarring associated with burn wounds. The skin can, therefore, be restored quicker without extensive damage.
Use the essential oil as a compress by soaking a piece of cloth in a container in which you have put a few drops of the oil mixed with water. Apply the piece of cloth to the burn site. Another effective way to use the oil is by mixing it with honey and applying it to the affected area at intervals throughout the day. In this case, the patient benefits from both the effects of oil and honey.
