Home remedies for Burns

• If you burn a finger on a hot stove, immediately place your finger on your earlobe for instant relief.
• Put some banana skin on the burnt area.
• In the event of a burn (oven, boiling water, oil etc.) pour a raw, beaten egg over the burn. Very important! Don’t wash the burn in water even though this is the instinctive reaction. As quickly as possible, spread the egg and leave it in place for as long as possible. It creates a protective layer over the burn, neutralizing it in the process.
