Fire burn - Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has been traditionally used for burn healing but clinical evidence remains unclear.
We conducted a systematic review to determine the efficacy of topical aloe vera for the treatment of burn wounds.
As generations of mothers already know, Aloe Vera really is a miracle plant when it comes to treating burns from fires but many people don’t realize that Aloe Vera is also a great treatment for nearly any type of burn, including sunburns, burns from hot surfaces and liquids, steam burns and even to some extent radiation burns.
Even the FDA (food and drug administration) has acknowledged the amazing healing properties of Aloe Vera when it comes to the first-aid treatment of a wide variety of burns.

\ways to treat mosquito bites


Summertime may be everyone’s favorite time of year, but mosquito bites can cause a great deal of irritation.

Here you will find a list of ways to treat mosquito bites.

  • Calamine lotion, otherwise known as the pink stuff, still works.

  • If you think it, it will disappear! It might sound crazy and those around you might think you’ve lost it, but this really works for some people. Just close your eyes and say “I feel no pain” or “I do not itch”.

  • Try tea tree oil. You can find this almost anywhere thanks in large part to the internet, but you can also find some at a health food store.

  • Rub raw garlic over the bites.

  • Make a paste of water and baking soda and put a dab of paste on your bites. Other pastes that you can make consist of: salt and water or salt and butter.

  • Apply cold compresses. Whether you use a face cloth, a towel, or you fill a ziplock bag with ice, make sure it’s cold.

  • Aloe vera, whether in gel form or straight from the plant itself, works magic with mosquito bites. Simply apply it to the bite and forget about it.

  • Toothpaste or hemorrhoid cream works on the bites as well.

    The more you scratch a bite, the worse it is. The scratching can also lead to scarring and infection of the bite. If the bite gets infected, contact your doctor for proper treatment.
