Potato Slices

Some people believe that placing thin slices of raw potato on a burn can help reduce pain and promote healing.

Tea Bags

Placing cooled, damp tea bags (black or green tea) on the burn can help soothe pain and reduce inflammation due to the tannins present in tea.

Milk

Soaking the burned area in cold milk or applying a milk-soaked cloth can help alleviate pain and reduce heat.

Coconut Oil

Applying a thin layer of coconut oil to a minor burn might help keep the skin moisturized and promote healing.

Aloe Vera Gel

Applying pure aloe vera gel to the burn could have a soothing effect and help promote healing. Make sure to use 100% pure aloe vera gel without added fragrances or colors.

Honey

Honey have healing properties for minor burns. Apply a thin layer of medical-grade honey to the affected area and cover it with a sterile bandage.

Oatmeal

Mixing oatmeal with water to create a paste and applying it to the burn might provide relief from itching and discomfort

Avoid Breaking Blisters

If blisters form, try not to pop them as they can protect the healing skin underneath. Keep the area clean and covered.

Hydration and Nutrition

Staying well-hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can support the body's natural healing process.

Cool Water

Hold the burned area under cool, running water for about 10-15 minutes. Avoid using ice or very cold water, as it might damage the skin further.
