Natural Remedies For Burns

I have a small tissue burn on my lip from a cigarette. Are there any natural remedies that can heal it fast? Thanks.
Thanks everybody

Aloe vera. Break a leaf and squeeze the sap onto it. Then apply lip balm to seal the aloe vera in to the sore. That is the quickest way - I've suffered a burn or two myself like that, and aloe vera is the best.

Home remedies for treating burns include the use of aloe vera, raw honey and a liquid extract of arnica. Use home remedies to treat mild burns ...

I just burned myself (stupid curling iron!). Besides aloe vera, which I have already tried, what else has a natural soothing effect on burned skin? Thanks !
That toothpaste idea worked great! Thanks to every one of you

cold water until the skin and wound has chilled way down and then some aloe or antibacterial salve and wrap to avoid bumping it.
If you have a blister, do not pop it now but open it gently, tomorrow, on the side so the fluid drains. Do not peel the skin layer off the blister but allow it to collapse. Again, apply ointment and bandage lightly.
Its gonna hurt for a while no matter what.

i m suffering from heart burn and flatulence since last one year i tried every medicine but it only help for ashort time plzz tell me if therte any natural remedies for it.

There may be several factors that we don't know about you so it is difficult to give advice that will help.

When you get heartburn, immediately drink water to flush the acid out of your esphogus. I have had a problem with this also and take Nexium. None of the other medications help. My MD said to keep pepcid OTC on hand in case I have break through heartburn.

Flatulence is most often related to diet, and sometimes to those habits that cause you to swallow air. You can begin by trying to remove the problem foods from your diet. For many people, this is a trial-and-error procedure.

•This may take some careful observation to notice what foods cause increased gas. Keep a food diary and note excess passage of gas. Any of the gas-producing foods can be removed from your diet one group at a time until you see relief. Sorbitol and fructose are common offenders, so try these first.


•If this method does not work, a more restrictive approach is to start with a very limited number of safe foods, and add one new food every 48 hours in order to determine what food or food group causes difficulty. If the offending food is found, then you can avoid eating that food or be prepared for its consequences.


•If you suspect lactose intolerance is the problem, remove all dairy foods from your diet for 10-14 days to assess the effect on flatulence (using a diary). The enzyme lactase, which aids with lactose digestion, is available in liquid and tablet form without a prescription (Lactaid, Lactrase, and Dairy Ease are familiar brand names). Adding a few drops of liquid lactase to milk before drinking it or chewing lactase tablets just before eating helps digest foods that contain lactose. Also, lactose-reduced milk and other products are available at many grocery stores (Lactaid and Dairy Ease).


•If odor is a concern, there is also some reported success with charcoal filter undergarments.


•If belching is a problem, you should avoid the behaviors that cause you to swallow air, such as chewing gum or eating hard candy. Eat slowly. Make sure your dentures fit properly if you wear them.


•In general, avoid overeating because this contributes to flatulence as well as obesity. Limit high-fat foods to reduce bloating and discomfort. Your stomach will empty faster, allowing gases to move into the small intestine

Re heartburn:
For mild or occasional symptoms, simple lifestyle modifications can be helpful.

•Avoid large meals.


•Avoid caffeine (coffee, teas, some soft drinks).


•Avoid foods or drinks that reduce pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter such as chocolate, peppermint, caffeine-containing beverages, and fatty or fried foods.


•Avoid foods that damage the esophagus such as spicy foods, citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes and tomato sauces.


•After eating, beware of activities that force acid back into your esophagus. Such activities include lifting, straining, coughing, and wearing tight clothing.


•Use gravity to your advantage. Avoid lying down within 3 hours of meals. If you suffer from nighttime heartburn, elevate the head of your bed when sleeping. Place 6-inch blocks underneath the head of the bed, or place a wedge under the mattress. Simply using more pillows under your head will not help. In fact, it may worsen the heartburn by increasing the pressure on your stomach.


•Lose weight if you are overweight.


•Stop smoking.


•Limit alcohol intake.


•Antacids such as Maalox, Mylanta, Tums, or Rolaids can also be helpful. Antacids work by neutralizing acid. They should be taken 1 hour after meals or when heartburn symptoms occur.


•Low doses of drugs that block the production of stomach acid are available over-the-counter. Some examples include cimetidine (Tagamet), ranitidine (Zantac), and famotidine (Pepcid).

i have a few really bad burn scars on my arm from a week or two ago. i had an accident in the kitchen, and long story short i have four burns about 2 inches long each and maybe a centimeter wide on my arm. I don't really like using mederma or any of those products. what are some home remedies that will actually work enough to at least fade the scars?

Vitamin E rubbed into the skin helps considerably in reducing scars.

If the salt burns your mouth, you need to add more water. Also to get rid of it, you have to expect some pain.

Ice is good for bringing down the swelling. It won't get rid of t but it helps with the pain.
Drinking lots of water will flush dirt out of the ulcer!

I know you said you wanted natural reminies but I'd consider Corsydol mouthwash. Its great for ulcers! (the pink one, not the green)

Some things you can do to help with healing and pain are...
*Stay away from overly hot/spicy/sour foods
*Don't touch it with hands or tong
*Don't snack! Eating between meals (with an ulcer) means that the ulcer is being constanly moved, touched and will make the healing process longer!
