Oh man...I have to share this with you guys!

But, first let me say sorry you burned yourself, Deb and also, I'm not saying what I used will work now (not sure).

I burned my thumb on the oven rack (the oven was 220C - that is 450F!) and it was such a bad burn. Part of it was third degree and the pain was EXCRUTIATING. I went down on my KNEES CRYING LIKE A BABY!

Anyhow, in recalling what GM told me once about a burn for my daughter - to use for the pain....Echinacea (I believe it was 30x).

So, being in so much pain - I RAN for the rem's and took a dose. WITHIN half an hour 95% of the pain WAS GONE!!! NO kidding..and this burn was 2nd and 3rd degree (the whole thumb pad).

I have three friends who are nurses here who saw the burn and guessed that it was maybe a month old in the healing process - guess how many days it really was????


6.

They were absolutely impressed and asked heaps of questions.

I know too that on D Little's site - you will see the first-aid room - and in there you'll see a link for burns - and I found that very helpful.

Hope you feel better soon!!
Take care,
Lisa
