The pain subsided quickly and the burn healed with no scarring. This incident may have led to the development of aromatherapy, the use in healing of various essential oils taken from plants. Other essential oils, such as camomile, camphor, eucalyptus, geranium, onion, peppermint , rosemary and sage , have also been touted as burn treatments . But aromatherapists I know reserve their highest praise for lavender oil. Consider placing a vial on your kitchen windowsill right next to the aloe plant.
Plantain is one of the most popular folk herbal remedies for burns in the United States.
Juice from the fresh leaves of this plant is applied directly to mild burns. I've used it many times and found it soothing. You may need to beat the bushes to find a salve containing this herb in America, but tinctures are readily available. Because everyone is different, a physician must diagnose conditions and supervise the use of healing herbs to treat individual health problems. Herbs and other natural remedies are not substitutes for professional medical care.
