The treatment is very simple: you need to apply 1 cm thick cottage cheese on the wounds, put a film on top and bandage it. After removing the bandage, the wound becomes clean and rosey. The cottage cheese does not dry out and comes off easily. Problems arise when applying cottage cheese to large surfaces of the skin - because it is liquid and spreads. Here you need to apply maximum skill and ingenuity. But the result is worth it.

How to treat apple burns
The boy burned his head with burning resin - he made a torch and fireworks. The skin came off the head along with the hair. Some of the skin peeled off my face. The pain was unbearable, we were afraid that they wouldn’t take us to the hospital, and decided to treat the burn at home. The whole family began to chew apples and put them in a bowl. This mixture was applied to all burned areas. The pain immediately subsided and the boy fell asleep. In the morning they again smeared the chewed apples on the skin and noticed that the wounds began to dry out. Three days later the burns healed and the bandage was removed. My hair grew back normally and there were no scars left.
(HLS 2001, No. 23, p. 18).

Treatment with celandine juice
The burned area should be lubricated with the juice of the celandine herb. Repeat several times at intervals of 3-5 minutes, and then lubricate every 2-3 hours. Do not apply a bandage.
To prepare the juice, you need to dig up the celandine with roots, rinse, dry, grind in a meat grinder and squeeze out the juice. After 7-8 days, fermentation will begin - carefully release gases from the bottle with juice. Store fermented juice in the refrigerator.

Whatever you say, an adult should know how to provide first aid for burns using folk remedies, because they are easily accessible and effective. No, of course, you can get pharmaceutical Panthenol or other pharmaceutical miracles, but for some reason they never helped me.

Life forced me to find and write down a whole arsenal of remedies for burns - they are simply irreplaceable in the kitchen. Every mother knows how difficult it is to cook with small children. While you're keeping an eye on everyone, you might drench your hand in hot steam, or touch a hot frying pan in a hurry, or... In general, anything can happen.

But that's us, adults. It is much worse when children suffer. Every mother should be able to quickly provide first aid for a burn at home, and only then consult a doctor if necessary. Therefore, first I publish proven remedies that can be used to treat children. And then I’ll move on to more complex compositions that successfully treat severe burns and non-healing wounds.

Burns: first aid for burns in children

√ At lungs household burns (boiling water, steam, touching a hot surface), the first thing to do is hold the affected area of ​​the body over running cold water. If it is a baby's face, then generously moisten the burned area with cold water from the palm of your hand over the sink or bathtub. You need to do this for a long time, at least 10 minutes, until the skin cools down sufficiently.

This is the simplest method that allows you to very quickly remove redness and prevent the appearance of blisters or wounds. If possible, after water you can apply ice wrapped in a towel made of natural fabric.

Most often, children are burned by boiling water or touching hot surfaces. In such cases, there are still many good proven treatments. So, instructions for mothers (and not only).

Burns from boiling water: what to do at home

These home remedies are suitable for both kids and adults:

♦ As soon as such a disaster occurs, you need to grate the potatoes with their skins and apply the pulp to the burn site. Change every 10-15 minutes for an hour or even two (depending on the degree of damage, the stronger the burn, the longer to apply and change more often). This is a quick treatment for minor burns that relieves pain and prevents wounds.

♦ The following good remedy has been tested on myself and children: as soon as one of the household members, immediately lightly beat the white of a chicken egg with a fork and apply it to the affected area. At first it will be very hot, but after 1-2 minutes the pain will subside. This method is good because even with severe burns from boiling water, blisters and wounds, as a rule, do not remain.

♦ If you are burned by boiling water, you don’t know what to do at home (panic, etc.), then remember about regular flour, which you probably have in the kitchen. Sprinkle flour on the burned area and the pain subsides instantly. To avoid blisters or peeling skin, the burn should be generously coated with flour in a thick layer and left for a long time.

♦ Don’t forget about simple laundry soap. If you immediately rub a piece of damp soap over the area of ​​a small burn, the pain and redness will go away very quickly. But only gray or brown soap is suitable for this; today’s newfangled white synthetic substitutes are completely unsuitable.

♦ What else is there in every home? Surely there will always be beets. So, for burns, grated beetroot gruel also helps a lot. You just need to cover the burn area with freshly grated pulp. There will be no burn marks left.

♦ Pumpkin also works. Grate the fresh pulp and apply to the affected area of ​​the skin. This treatment is especially suitable for children with ordinary household burns, because it quickly relieves pain and cools the skin. By the way, you can use warm pumpkin compresses and when you introduce dishes from this vegetable into the menu, you can cope with it.

♦ There is also this method: grind a Penicillin tablet into powder and sprinkle it on the burn area. There will be no pain or blisters. The tablet is simply crushed: put the pill in one spoon (hold the spoon in your hand), and with the other press on the tablet and rub it in a circular motion. Everything takes a few seconds.

♦ A friend’s little daughter scalded her shoulders with boiling water (she knocked over a cup of tea). The grandmother tore off several branches of aloe, cut off the thorns, crushed them and applied them to the burned areas. They did this 3-4 times in the evening, tied the scarlet plates with an elastic bandage at night, and the next day everything was fine.

♦ You can also lubricate the burn natural honey. The oven stops baking immediately and blisters are avoided.

♦ This simple method is suitable only for adults. For burns, cuts and non-healing wounds, a pharmacy tincture of echinacea will help. Simply soak a strip of bandage in the tincture and apply to the affected area. Do it several times a day.

Such simple methods help cope with minor burns. But there are serious cases and ordinary methods do not help. Of course, in case of severe burns you need to go to the hospital. However, even after treatment, many are left with non-healing wounds, ulcers or oozing cracks. And such people are discharged! Months, or even years of torment begin - dressings, lubrication, antibiotic injections, etc. But you can be healed, you just need to find a suitable folk medicine.

Treatment of severe burns and non-healing wounds

Egg yolk for severe burns

If the burn is severe, hard-boil 4 eggs (cook for at least 15 minutes to make the yolk harder). Peel the eggs, remove the yolks. In a preheated dry frying pan you need to fry the boiled yolks, mashing them with a fork. After 15-20 minutes, liquid will begin to separate from the yolk mass, which must be drained into a clean container. This is an invaluable medicine for severe burns.

Lubricate burn areas several times a day. If there are bleeding wounds, wrap a sterile bandage around your fingers and apply ointment to all affected areas. Healing will be quick, and the strength of the ointment is such that many will not even have scars. For a large affected area, you need to use 10-15-20 eggs, and store the jar of healing liquid in the refrigerator. Shelf life is unlimited.

Another variation of this recipe

One woman told me that she treated her adult son with the same ointment, but prepared differently. While working at a construction site, he scalded his leg with hot resin, the skin peeled off instantly and the pain was terrible. The mother immediately boiled 20 eggs, put the yolks in a duck pot and simmered them in the oven for about 4 hours. The result was a homogeneous mass, which was used to lubricate the wound. The treatment is painless, this man has no scars or scars. They say the ointment works flawlessly.

Oak bark for treating burned areas of the body

Grind 2 tablespoons of oak bark into powder and pour a glass of boiling water. Place in a water bath and cook until the liquid has reduced by half. Strain and mix with 50 g of fresh butter. Apply to burns several times a day. You can make bandages with ointment.

Ointment for burns

Melt 3 tbsp in a water bath. spoons of sunflower oil, the same amount of honey and natural wax(you can take a candle). Stir the resulting ointment and cool. Then add the raw egg white and mix thoroughly. Lubricate the burn frequently, at least 7 times a day.

Ointment for burns, fistulas, non-healing wounds based on spruce resin

Take equal parts of resin, beeswax and internal pork fat, mix, put on fire and bring to a boil. Cool. Spread the ointment onto a clean bandage and apply to the wounds. Carry out at least 5 procedures.

Burn of the oral mucosa

It happens that too hot food burns the tongue, palate and inside of the cheeks. The pain is not pleasant, and it’s impossible to eat afterwards. If this happens, just hold cold brewed tea in your mouth and the pain will go away. Do it several times.

Sunburn

We all know that sunburned skin can be treated well with kefir, sour cream, whey and fresh cottage cheese. However, aloe good helper: for severe sunburn, cut aloe branches, twist into a meat grinder and squeeze out the juice. Generously lubricate the burned areas. You can soak the bandage in juice and apply it.

We may never need these tips, but I still hope that in case of burns from boiling water, you now know what to do at home. And not only burns, but also wounds, cuts, cracks in the skin and even boils can be cured using these recipes. And ointments can even cope with trophic ulcers.

Health to everyone!

Now listen to a beautiful song performed by singer Enya. This Irish singer sings in a new age style. Well, very beautiful!

Every person has experienced burns at least once in their life. You can even get them at home by spilling boiling water on yourself or accidentally touching the iron. As a result of high temperatures, the skin becomes red and blisters. Damage may vary depending on the duration of contact with a hot object and the area of ​​the source.

When more than 15% of the body is affected, a person requires medical attention in a hospital. Less severe burns can be treated at home.

What is a burn This is a violation of integrity skin

• and mucous membranes under the influence of high temperature, electric current or chemically aggressive substances. At home, women often receive such injuries while cooking or ironing clothes. Children, due to their curiosity, often get burned by boiling water. Regardless of the cause, the burn is divided into several degrees: first
• – redness of the skin, which may become swollen; second
• – the appearance of blisters with liquid (blood plasma) inside; third
• – formation of necrotic areas on the skin; fourth

– necrosis of the skin, muscles and bones. Only the first two degrees can be treated at home.

• When skin necrosis develops, you should consult a doctor. Depending on the cause, burns are divided into several types: chemical
• – occur in close contact with chemicals; electric
• – are a consequence of the action of lightning and electrical appliances; thermal (thermal)
• – are formed after contact of human skin with steam, fire, hot liquids or objects; radial

– appear when exposed to ultraviolet radiation for a long time in a solarium or in the sun.

Treatment of burns

How and with what to treat a burn depends on the type and degree of skin injury. If the damage covers a significant area of ​​the skin and numerous blisters appear, you should consult a doctor.

• In other cases, it is possible to treat burn wounds at home. After stopping contact with the source of high temperature, you need to calm down and take action, because further tissue healing depends on first aid.
• instead of cold water, you can use a compress from an ice pack wrapped in a towel;
• if pain occurs, then you need to take a painkiller, for example, Aspirin or Ibuprofen;
• before touching the wound, you need to wash your hands with soap;
• During treatment, follow a high-protein diet with cottage cheese, cheese, chicken and eggs.

Treatment of thermal burns at home

After receiving an injury, it is important to monitor the location of the injury: whether the color of the wound changes to black, brown or red, and whether a greenish tint appears inside it. Slow healing may indicate infection and complications. Self-medication in this case is unacceptable. Mandatory hospitalization is required for the following symptoms:

• rough skin or softening of the skin in the wound area;
• the source of damage becomes warm;
• temperature rise to 39 or drop (below 36.5 degrees).

In the absence of such signs, the wound can be treated at home. First, first aid is provided, and then they begin to use burn remedies in the form of ointments, creams, and aerosols. Treatment is aimed at healing and disinfecting the injury site. With proper treatment of blisters, suppuration and inflammation can be avoided. The resulting bubbles will burst on their own and dry out in 1-2 weeks.

First aid

Proper first aid for burns at home helps to minimize complications and alleviate the condition of the victim. The main condition is the absence of panic, because only a calm and collected person can correctly provide first aid. It is as follows:

1. Stop the victim's contact with the source of high temperature. If this is an electric current, then you cannot touch the person with your hands; for this you need to use an insulated object. When, after cessation of contact with the source, the remaining heat or chemicals continue to destroy the tissue (i.e., the affected area increases), apply ice, snow, or expose the wound to cold water for 10-15 minutes.
2. If the victim experiences severe pain, then give him a painkiller: Ketanov, Ibuprofen, Aspirin.
3. Rinse the burned area with cold water or a weak solution of manganese. If the skin is damaged by alkali, treat the wound with a few drops citric acid, when damaged by acid - soapy water.
4. Apply a sterile gauze bandage made of a special material, for example, Diosept or Combixin.

How to anoint a burn

Treatment of burn wounds at home in the first couple of hours is carried out using a spray.

Further treatment of the wound is carried out:

• Olazol - it is especially effective if you have been burned by steam or boiling water;
• Betadine ointment - if you are injured from a hot iron, this remedy prevents infection of the wound.

The anti-burn agent should not only help restore the skin, but also relieve the pain that sometimes accompanies such an injury. Fastin ointment has an analgesic effect. It is used until the wound is completely healed. Additionally, you can make bandages with Methyluracil, which promotes cell regeneration. Solcoseryl ointment helps restore the skin. Balm Rescuer is used on early stage for minor burns of the hand or finger.

Home remedy for burns

For thermal burns, Levomekol ointment is often used. It has wound healing and bactericidal properties. Additionally, this ointment has an analgesic effect, which helps facilitate the wound healing process. As an alternative to this drug, Vishnevsky ointment is often used; it also has an antimicrobial effect. A gauze bandage that is applied to the burned area can be moistened with an antiseptic solution:

• Chlorhexidine;
• Furacilin;
• St. John's wort decoction.

Creams are used already at the stage of skin restoration and to prevent the formation of scars. When contact with the skin causes pain, it is worth using anti-burn agents in the form of sprays. They are sprayed directly onto the damaged area. Another form of release of anti-burn agents is gels, for example:

• "Apollo"
• "No burns."

Medications

How to relieve pain

With a first-degree burn, the pain is searing, the second is more pronounced and piercing, the third and fourth are the most severe and sometimes even unbearable. In the last two cases, you need to see a doctor.

Treatment of burns with boiling water at home using cottage cheese. Review.
A bucket of boiling water was thrown over a seven-year-old child. The entire side was scalded from shoulder to heels. They treated the burn at home for a long time using pharmaceutical and folk remedies, but without success. The condition was very serious. Knowledgeable people advised treating burns from boiling water with homemade cottage cheese. After starting treatment with cottage cheese, the child quickly began to recover, and after 2 weeks he began to get out of bed. It was possible to cure so that there were no scars left.
The treatment is very simple. You need to apply 1 cm thick cottage cheese on the wounds, put a film on top and bandage it. After removing the bandage, the wound becomes clean and rosey. The cottage cheese does not dry out and comes off easily. Problems arise when applying cottage cheese to large surfaces of the skin - because it is liquid and spreads. Here you need to apply maximum skill and ingenuity. But the result is worth it. Review from the newspaper Bulletin of Healthy Lifestyle 2001, No. 6, p. 15.
