Treatments to Try Out
‘Can I really trust your simple natural remedies?’ you may ask at first. ‘Will they encourage me to consult you whenever I am in need?’
‘Of course,’ the ‘Nature Doctor’ replies, ‘try them and see for yourself!’
Burns from flame or fire and scalds from boiling liquids call for quick action. Immerse the affected part of the body immediately in cold water. Where this cannot easily be done, apply a cold compress. Cover the burn with gauze, or with a clean cloth if a large area is affected, until medical help can be obtained. To avoid infection, do not puncture any blisters. In cases of third-degree burns, immediate medical attention should be sought if complications are to be prevented. St John’s wort oil has also proved to be an effective remedy for burns and scalds.
