Aaaah.
But just as you’re getting ready to nestle up in a warm blanket to catch up on the latest episode of The Voice, your dog decides to take a flying leap onto the couch to show you just how much she loves you. That rockin’ cup of tea spills all over your arm.
The pain is intense. You flinch, still in shock. A few seconds later, a pulsating, burning sensation sets in.
It hurts so badly you fight back tears. The burn isn’t bad enough to need medical assistance, but it still needs some kind of attention.
The question is: what home remedy will you use? Here are seven time-tested home remedies that just might help you heal from a minor burn.
1. Honey
We all know that honey makes for a tasty, gooey option on a peanut butter sandwich. But did you know that honey can help heal burns too?
According to Medical Daily, “honey also has some anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and is probably the only home remedy backed by science.” That’s because studies show that honey has the ability to heal burns faster than traditional burn treatments.
