While at a friend's house my daughter burned her hand with hot grease splatter and after holding her hand under cold water it still felt like it was burning. Her friend wet a green tea bag and told her to hold it on her burn. DD said the burning sensation went away within minutes and no blister ever formed. I had never heard of this treatment before and dd and I thought we should pass this one on to you all. Another reason to keep green tea in the house!

I keep an Aloe Vera plant in my kitchen for burns or cuts. Just cut off a small part of a fleshy leaf and put the extract from the leaf on the area that is burned or cut. Works great and no blistering!!!

You could try some lavender essential oil also.
Smells good and works like the tea bag.

GREAT idea. I have some green teabags and never thought to try them on a burn. Thanks for the info. |
