Hi! My name is Chels and I wanted to let you know that I linked to two of your posts yesterday on my blog: http://fantasticfind.blogspot.com/2009/09/baking-soda-and-cornstarch-home.html I saw your Quick Bee Sting Relief post in July and had just used a home remedy on my daughter with cornstarch. I wanted to make up a post of a few great true stories with home remedies and sent your post to my springpad for when I needed it. So when you posted your husband's burn story (ouch!) I liked that story too! Thanks for sharing and I hope you're okay with having links on my blog! Chels http://fantasticfind.blogspot.com

Wow! I'm impressed. Thanks for passing this along. I never would have thought to try baking soda to treat a burn and I use baking soda for all kinds of things.

Loved your tip but hated that your poor hubs had to go through that. Isn't the Internet wonderful! Wanted to pass on a remarkable tip I found on the Internet when my DH was in severe pain late one evening. We were almost certain it was a gallbladder "attack". I went on the Internet & found two natural remedies, apple cider vinegar & lettuce. I just had regular vinegar, so I made him a little bowl of lettuce, sliced apples & vinegar. Literally within minutes the pain was gone! Hope this helps someone.

Wow! I can’t believe how well this worked. I also added a bit of honey and a couple drops of lavender essential oil to the baking soda mixture. Pain was bothering me for an hour.. baking soda, and the pain was gone immediately! I love baking soda!

This remedy was used on my Grandmother during WWII when her oven exploded in an unexpected bomb drop blowing out the gas mains. She had her face in the oven. Her face was saved, flawless in fact. I’ve used it for serious burns myself with 100pc success. But you MUST follow the rules. Always keep the soda wet. ALWAYS. If it dries out you’ll damage the healing. Use two layers of bandage. The first sealing in the soda (which should form a wet thick and sticky paste). This doesn’t move until you change the soda (once every 24-48 hours depending). The next layer is removable. Remove this and wet the lower bandage/soda every 2-3 hours. Then replace the top dry bandage. If the burn area is big you may want a waterproof middle layer but DO NOT just put a bag over it and seal without air holes because it forces the temp to artificiallly rise over the burn. When a burn heals the skin is pink (in white people) for example – but this is not fully healed. Leave on until fully healed and to avoid scarring, leave it for a day/week extra (Depending on size/degree) when the skin ‘seems normal’. Don’t stop treatment at this point as the extra time helps to prevent scarring. Don’t think ‘old remedy’ for this. This is the BEST remedy for burns. I would reject standard treatment with dry dressings in favor of this based on the serious burns I’ve treated myself with. Note: this treatment does not work for cuts.
Swinging from ropes over a lake? I’d say that’s silly! My husband would say it’s fun (as long as you don’t slide down the rope). Ryan actually wanted to be a stuntman growing up, so I’m not surprised that he had no issues with swinging over the lake.
Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an very long comment
but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing
all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say excellent blog!

I wasn’t a believer in this remedy working on other types of burns, but I am sitting here with baking soda paste on two fingers that I burned very deep with hot glue and it is amazing. I had been using ice just to make the pain bearable, but now it is gone completely! Thank you!
