One of the things that I have always managed to do while just "doing" life is to burn myself.

Maybe it was just a steam burn from lifting the lid carelssly off the meal I was cooking, spilling the coffee as you moved to find a seat....

Almost always when I got round to doing the ironing  (subconscious message involving  lets not do it)....

Lighting the fire in winter, occasional riduculous behaviour - standing very close to a heater because it ws soo cold ,  and not forgetting summer's sunburn

My classic was checking a pie in the oven and not ensuring the rack was secure.....let me tell you vegetables in a hot white sauce  can defy the law of gravity and stick to your leg despite it being  vertical!!

As I have Cantharis 30c around anything that has the posibilty to burn.. two or three doses in relatively quick succession,  made a solution of calendula and hypericum which I applied to a clean (  sterile if possible, failing that a hot iron of the piece to be used) cloth laid over the area and I was back in business.

When ever the pain started to reappear I took another dose of Cantharis, kept the cloth damp ( for about 12-15hrs) with a  solution made with body temperature water and hypercal,  and did not try to remove it at all and while not completly pain free I was comfortable  and by the next day  80% of the pain was gone.

Never try to remove dry material from the burnt area as it will adhere to the skin and damage it  as the cloth is removed leaving a site that is more vunerable to infection.

Remedies that are  useful

Apis 30c-  blisters skin rosy red and worse for hot applications. Often useful in sunburn

Cantharis 30c one of my favourites. Take as soon as possible repeating every 5- 10 minutes for about 5 doses

Causticum 30c more useful for older burns when the skin has started to pucker.

Hypericum/Calendula and or Urtica Uren Mother tincture. These are made from the herbal solutions and are diluted before applying. For burns you use these diluted (5 drops in half a cup of water) onto a clean cloth ,reapplying to prevent it drying out which will help the skin heal and go along way to preventing infection.
