Home Remedies for First Degree Burns - 8 Natural Treatments

The mildest type of burn is known as the first-degree burn. Only the top layer of the skin is burned and the area becomes red and painful but doesn’t result in blistering or anything of serious concern.

Never use ice on burn as it can restrict blood flow to the skin, and further damage tissue. Instead immediately place the burned area under cool running water for at least 5-10 minutes, which helps the injury from spreading.

Using these home remedies for burns can help relieving the pain and also preventing the after effects: Honey  Cover the entire burned area with organic or unfiltered raw honey.  Honey is a natural antibiotic, which helps to prevent burn from becoming infected.  Honey will cool the burn, relieve pain, and help the skin to heal.

Milk

 Apply a cloth soaked in milk to the burnt area and repeat every few hours to relieve pain.  The fat and protein content in milk soothes burns and promotes healing Aloe Vera  Cut a small piece of the aloe vera leaf and apply the fresh gel directly on the burn.  For better result add some turmeric powder in aloe vera gel and then apply.  Aloe Vera has tissue-healing properties that help in healing burns.

Raw Potato  Rub a slice of raw potato on the burn, so the juice from the potato is releasing over the area.  Raw potato can treat minor skin burns due to its anti-irritating and soothing properties.

Onion Juice  Cut a fresh onion and apply the juice on the burn.  Onion juice has components like sulfur compounds and quercetin that can relieve pain, help in healing the burn and reduce the chance of blistering.  Onions lose their medicinal properties after few minutes so use only freshly cut onions Vinegar  Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar and apply it to the burn.  Vinegar works as an antiseptic that has potential to offer immediate relief.  pH factor in vinegar prevents infection by killing potential pathogens and help burns to heal faster.

Mint Toothpaste

 When we accidentally touch something hot without a potholder, or get splattered by something that's boiling, mint toothpaste is the best to get relief.  Run the scalded area under cold water, then gently pat it dry with a paper towel and cover with a layer of the toothpaste.

Baking Soda  Baking soda is another simple option that could dissipate the pain away.  Add some water in baking soda to make a paste, apply it to the burned area.  After drying, rinse and repeat.

If the burn lasts more than twenty days and is not healing, it requires medical attention as there may be chances of complications with the immune system.

Also burns that are worsening instead of healing or showing signs of infection should be treated by medical professionals.
