BURNS · Skin Recovery

homeopathic

Homeopathic medicines can help lessen the pain from a burn and heal it as well. While second- and third-degree burns or extensive first-degree burns require medical attention, homeopathic remedies can be used concurrently.

6th · 12th · 30th potency

Consider using internal and external applications to speed the healing of burns. External applications should be applied whenever a dressing is changed. When using a tincture, make certain to dilute it in at least three parts water so that the alcohol in the tincture doesn’t burn the skin. Internal remedies should be given every 2 hours when there is severe pain and every 4 hours with most first-degree burns. Take these remedies only as long as pain from the burn exists. Don’t forget to give several doses of Arnica in the 6th or 30th potency for second- or third-degree burns to help relieve the shock of injury.
For second- or third-degree burns, seek immediate medical attention.
