Wow, I had a nasty burn this week, but the next morning you wouldn't have known it! We really thought the skin was going to fall off! Here's my story:
10-6-10: Trip to the emergency room tonight...burned half my hand with a cup of HOT bacon grease. Sprayed LavaDerm..poured on YLTG Lavender & iced it. Dr. was impressed & the nurse wanted to know where to get Lavender like that. I've never burned myself this bad before, but thankfully Young Living came through for me once again.
10-7-10: WHAT BURN?! Burn update-Took off the bandages & slept great! I went thru 40ml of Lavender last night & 1 bottle of LavaDerm (from the moment it happened, on the way to the hospital, sitting at the hospital, on the way home & right up till bed time) Woke up @ 4:30 & realized I wasn't in pain! Turned on the light: no red or blisters! AM: anointed w/Lavender, then Helichrysum & sealed it in w/Animal Scents ointment. Taking Longevity caps, OmegaGize, Sulfurzyme caps & MegaCal for supplementation. Did NOT fill Vicadin perscription & I'm not going to continue using that "propylene glycol" cream they gave me! It kept burning me, when I wasn't feeling any more pain! The nurse & technician said the whole emergency room smelled amazing & was relaxing everyone in trauma.
The moral of the story: It's important to have your essential oils first-aid kit fully stocked BEFORE an emergency happens. Thank God I did!!

| 2. | Associated topics: burns — "Burn Healing Potential of Nigella sativa seed oil in rats.... Nigella sativa L. (Black cumin) has shown a broad spectrum of pharmacological effects like antipyretic [fever reducing], analgesic [pain reducing], anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial.... The present study suggests the burn wound healing action of seeds may be due to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of major compounds in the oil." | Link |
| 3. | Associated topics: burns — "Melaleuca Alternifolia [tea tree] Hydrogel... was compared with tap water as a coolant following application onto a fresh, deep, partial-thickness hot water burn.... Effective cooling of the burn wound and an increased rate of wound healing was achieved by both repeated tap water compresses and by immediate or delayed application of Melaleuca Hydrogel. Cooling is an effective means to reduce tissue damage and increase wound healing." | Link |

In vitro studies characterized Helichrysum as an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agent. Its flavonoids and terpenes were effective against bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus aureus), its acetophenones, phloroglucinols and terpenoids displayed antifungal action against Candida albicans and its flavonoids and phloroglucinols inhibited HSV and HIV, respectively.... Regarding Helichrysum italicum in vivo activity, the highlight goes to ...the anti-inflammatory properties exhibited by its flavonoids, acetophenones and phloroglucinols, as seen in animal models." | Link |
