Yesterday lunch time our maid had a nasty hand burn. She was serving scalding hot soup and shrieked with pain as the soup had burned her hands. I think she was preventing the bowls from falling to avoid them being broken and endured the hot soup instead.
Think quickly: What do we have in the kitchen that can alleviate burns?
I’ve got a big bottle of colloidal silver left over from our daughter’s tooth decay bout. Silver is the active ingredient in burn ointments. But it’s in water. I need a carrier oil / ointment to make it stick.
We just ran out of ghee so that is out. We have lots of virgin coconut oil. So I got a small bowl and quickly poured some colloidal silver and some virgin coconut oil in it. Mix vigorously. Ta dah, instant burn remedy in 30 seconds.
I quickly had our maid dunk both her hands in the solution. Told her to keep them both moist in the burn remedy of colloidal silver and virgin coconut oil.
Follow up in the late afternoon… hand is fine, no more pain. This remedy seems to work.
If we still had our old aloe vera plants or if the neighbors still had their aloe vera plants, those could also have been useful, but they were all destroyed in last year’s flood.
