TREATING BURNS

I am used to small burns as I’ve worked as a cook, cooked many many times for large-ish groups of people, and always cooked from scratch. Usually I just tolerate and go on with my business.

Then I learned more and more about natural healing methods.

More than 20 years ago I was cooking for a group of friends who were coming over and grabbed the handle of the iron frying pan without a potholder. Forgot...

A burn the size of a quarter appeared and while not very big, the pain was almost intolerable. I had read about Lavender essential oil healing burns, so I applied some. As the oil went across the burn, I could see its progress, the pain disappeared. I was quite amazed.

In some minutes the pain came back, so I took a small piece of absorbent cotton cloth, soaked it in Lavender, and taped it on. No more noticeable pain.

The next morning there was a very faint, almost unnoticeable pale pinkish spot where the burn had been. I had never seen a burn heal that fast, with no blistering, open weeping sore type thing.

Later I’ll tell an even more amazing burn story, with a much worse burn.

Hat tip to Larry et al, he pinged me to the article below. Discuss! I may add a bit or two on this thread and maybe copy to the other thread. Interesting topic, one size does NOT fill all in the fasting arena, but some kind may help most people. There are many kinds of fasting and some are heroic and few people can (or should) do it - like water for a month. Some are easier on the system and more accessible and in the long run, works just as well or better.

Then there are temporary mono-diets - not fasting entirely, but eating only one thing for a day or more days, that can also be very detoxifying but easier. People with blood sugar problems should of cousre never do juice or water fasts. (IMHO).

Now I’ll look for the other ping someone kindly sent me about Alzheimers, trying to find it. And later, the second Burn Story.
