This patient is very deficient. Never heard the complaint before but we

all know its worse in pale skinned people. She is definitely blood xu

at that weight, also probably has eating disorder. Longterm

tonification and nourishing cooked food diet may help if it is not

genetic.

Hey All,

I have always used Red vinegar on Sunburn. It works great and is always

available. Somethign even better is Fresh Comfrey pulp. Takes pain away in

seconds. Also, Comfrey salve is great. Any good recipes for it out there?

I am new to the list and would like to offer this tidbit that might help.

When ever my husband gets sunburnt and he burns easily...I always bath his

sunburn with lukewarm oatmeal milk it not only takes the sting out but also

moisturises the skin. Hope this helps I am just lucky I have not had to do

that this ummer....btw I am in New Zealand and we are in our summer......

I burn horribly and so do two of my children. ( I only have to be in the sun a very short time) So during the summer I make this salve-it's only good for about 4 days- but we use it up before that. This keeps my skin from peeling or blistering. 1/2 cup cucumber juice 1/2 aloe ver gel 10 drops vit E oil 4 drops lavendar oil 4 drops peppermint oil 4 drop eucalyptus oil Cut up cucumber and squeeze out the juice.Strain out pulp and seeds.Put all ingredients in blender, Blend well. Store in frig. If I don't have this on hand and need relief I use baking soda as Penny does.June What is the QUICKEST way to reduce the burning and sting of a very recentsunburn (on the face).

I have been useing aloe vera for sunburns. If you have the plant you can use

directly from the plant. I read that the plant must be 3-4 years old before

useing it.

Maybe a combo of the two? The coconut oil has sure worked for me (ingesting

over time and applying topically). Was in the sun today for about 2 1/2 hours

(FLORIDA heat...whew!) and didn't get burned at all. My Vit C intake is very

moderate right now, so I would safely assume that it is the oil. Check out

Bruce Fife's book, " The Healing Wonders of Coconut Oil " for info on this.

just plain old vinegar will make you feel nice and cool. Of course you'll also smell like a pickle, but it's always been worth it to me!! :)

[herbal remedies] Sunburn

 

Okay, what's the best thing for sunburn? I've never had one before, besides a little red that turns into a tan, but this is a little painful, and I went out and did it again today--over yesterday's sunburn. I didn't think I could burn.

 

I found a note in the archives from Doc stating that Panther Piss works for sunburn, so I'm going to try that. I hope the vinegar in it doesn't sting. I wonder if something else cold like cucumber or apple would be soothing and healing at the same time.

 

Please, let me know what has worked for you.

Cheryl,

 

I always use Aloe Vera gel. I like to keep it in the frig, so it's nice and cold.

 

Also, an ACV bath might work, too.

Thanks for the suggestions, Kristen and Lynette. I did apply some Panther Piss earlier, which felt good (too bad I don't have any aloe vera), and it's feeling a little better tonight. I think it really wouldn't have been so bad today, but I wore a different bra for a while this morning and the straps were right on the sunburn, so I think that rubbed it a little raw. And I figured out why I burned.... more of the lighter skin on my shoulder blades was exposed to the sun all day due to the cut of the new tank top I wore yesterday while putting in the garden.

 

Thanks again!

I've used aloe gel kept in the refrigerator - in liberal quantities.

What has worked wonderfully for me is one ounce apple cider vinegar,

one ounce aloe vera juice & 30 drops lavender essential oil. If it

is a particularly fiery burn, add a couple of drops of peppermint for

cooling. This mixture can be rubbed or sprayed on the areas 3-4

times a day. It reduces the pain & redness and helps prevent

peeling, thereby keeping you tan.

Last summer my sister had a very bad burn (1/4 inch scabs all over her back). She could not stand anyone to touch it and everything hurt. What her husband had her do is sit in lukewarm to cool water for as long as she wanted to. He'd come in and refresh the water every so often and bring her something to drink while she "enjoyed" her bath. In just a few days it healed remarkably and she said it was the only time she was virtually pain free.

My son had a terrible sunburn on his back. So I had him sit in the bathtub and made a strong strong solution of tea and poured that over his back. It took the burn out completely.

Hi Rachel,

I put aloe vera gel on sunburn, and it sooths it and might also keep it from peeling. I apply aloe vera gel generously to sunburn. I guess aloe vera being good for sunburn is pretty much common knowlege at this point.

Peace,

Cathie

Just take some good ol' apple cider vinegar and pat it onto the burned skin with a soft cloth (a washcloth is fine). It'll stop the burn AND take the redness away.... and keep it from peeling :)

 

Hope this helps :)

Tomatoe. Cut it in half and rub it on the sun burn as soon as you come out

of the sun.

One thing I tried that seemed to work better than aloe gel was just a pureed cucumber. Took the burn away immediately from a bad sunburn, didn't cause itching, and all symptoms stayed away. Within about an hour the red was completely gone, I kid you not ;)

For sunburn what I would do if a cucumber is not on hand would be mix aloe juice or gel, a few drops of calendula tincture, some st. john's wort oil and lavendar essential oil. That's what I put in my "burn spray" ;)

Prevention:

Eat a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste per day for about 3 months, as it

reduces the damage done by sunburn, thanks to lycopene. Saw this successfully

tested on The Truth About Food - BBC Science Unit. 

 

 I noticed a product that Mike Adams sells - AstaZan. I had already bought some

elsewhere for a family member who doesn't use cancer-causing sunscreens because

he had contact dermatitis as a child after an ignorant teacher applied some to

his skin. Well, he got through our southern hemisphere summer without burning

despite working as a volunteer in a community organic garden. He is a red head. 

It may work out cheaper than a large supply of tomato paste too. One could

easily get tired of such a daily dose! It contains astaxanthin, Vitamin E,

lutein and GE free safflower oil.

Oddly enough, the same programme above mentioned that eating spinach for its

lutein content, for 3 months, increased a lady's macula by 10%  - she had macula

degeneration. The average improvement in the rest of the group was 17%. In one

lady, there was no improvement, but there was nothing wrong with her eyes to

start with.

 

Afterthought:

The cancer-causing sunscreens are promoted by the Cancer Society in NZ, to raise

funds for their quest to find a cancer cure. :o

 

All the best,

Maracuja
