Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 I very much enjoy hearing the experiences of others. Thought I would share mine. Would you believe that just yesterday I managed to burn my finger while taking a turkey out of the oven? I'm still wondering if subconsciously I wanted to test this warm water theory and also try lavender on burns. Anyway, it was one of those burns that is very minor. It was just a quick touch to the oven grill. The first thing I did was run cold water on it and then I thought just for fun (and to cover all my bases) I'll run some lukewarm water on it too. I couldn't quite make myself use hot water, but figured lukewarm would be enough to increase circulation if indeed that is one of the benefits to warm/hot water. Plus I reasoned that even lukewarm water was cooler than the actual burn so that I would still be reducing the temp at the burn site. Can't say that I noticed any difference in how the burn felt with either the cold or the warm water. I didn't leave the finger under the water for long though because I was anxious to get the essential oil lavender on it. So I put two drops of lavender oil on the burn and immediately felt a sense of relief, but then within seconds the burn sensation returned. However, within minutes I forgot about the burn and went on with my day and the next time I thought about it - it didn't hurt. One day later, I can't even see a mark where the burn occurred and still no pain.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 We were just tlaking about this on the vaccinations list and I told them the same - use as hot as can stand. Well, burned the end of my index finger today on the woodstove with a party of people here! Wow - it was intense. Ran to the kitchen as my friend said - run it under cold water. I said, no,hot water - she said what? I said its homeopathic. Actually put it in a cup of as hot of water as I could stand. The end is still sensitve but no blister and nothing like it would have been!

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Thank you for passing this great information on to us. has been one of my past students from my beginner courses in homeopathy. She heard me speak of this in a past posting as well as in a First Aid & Emergency Class that I taught in 1995 in Canonsburg, PA at Bond Chiropractic Center. A Burn Hi Phyllis, Thank you. On Christmas Day, I burned the sides of two fingers of my right hand while pulling a hot casserole from the oven. At first, I put cold running water on them , then remembered your e-mail a while back on using hot water.... as hot as you can stand it on a burn. (Like cures like), After the cold water, (only a minute or so, it was still hurting and stinging badly, but after using hot water, it barely stung after I stopped the hot water and the pain went away completely within a minute or two.. I then put Vitamin E on it and forgot about it as I finished preparing Christmas dinner. I didn't think about the burn until the next day and all I saw was a slightly red patch on both fingers.....no blisters....... and a few days after that, you could not tell I even had a burn. Thank you so much. That is the first time I tried " your remedy " and will never forget it. IT WORKS!!!! Happy New Year, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
