Sunburn Remedies

Written by Thomas Corriher Wednesday, 04 November 2009 11:46

For typical sunburns, we recommend alternating topical treatments of Apple Cider Vinegar and Colloidal Silver.  Colloidal Silver can be found in health food and herbal stores.  Silver products are actually used by hospital burn centers, because silver has an astounding steroid like neutralizing effect upon burns.  Aloe Vera is useful of course, but it cannot be found pure in regular retailers, and its results are not as rapid when used alone.  It is worthwhile to purchase pure Aloe Vera gel while visiting a health food or herbal store.  Of course, since Aloe Vera gel is another natural ingredient, it can be used safely in conjunction with the Apple Cider Vinegar and Colloidal Silver, although we recommend waiting upon full absorption before switching from one of these remedies to another.  We have seen the incredible results of combining these remedies ourselves, in which sunburns that would have taken weeks to heal were gone overnight.  The pain is often gone within an hour of using them.  Results like this cannot be had with commercial products.

    You can get actual aloe vera at Whole Foods, and probably other fruit stands. Shave, blend, apply!

    I'll try the silver/ACV thing this summer. Thanks.

    avatar

    I tried organic cold pressed coconut oil on my sunburn and the moistenned skin felt better. I tried putting an aloe gel mixture on at night and woke up with dried out skin and in tons of pain. I rinsed off the aloe as best I could (in the middle of the night!) and reapplied my coconut oil and was immediately relieved. I have also read that the tannins in black tea help relieve pain, heal and prevents peeling. I made the mistake of believing that coconut oil can act as a natural sunblock ... but it helps heal in the aftermath. Your thoughts.

    You should be wary of aloe "mixtures" that are found in stores. They often contain petroleum, and chemicals that you don't want on your skin. In the article above, we were referring to purchasing a natural aloe leaf, and then extracting the gel from it naturally.

    the only way to take the sting and heat out of a sunburn is to ( try it before you think i'm crazy and thank me when you prove me right) is to take a hot shower that is hotter than the burn.I promise you if you can handle 5 to 10 seconds more of heat you will have no heat in your new tan.

    I have been using my grandma's recipe (we are Mediterranean) for as long as I remember: if I ever go to the beach and get burnt, I generously apply olive oil to my skin and allow it to sit for 15 minutes before showering. I wash it off with mild conditioning body wash, and I apply aloe vera afterwards or any conditioning cream. If it persists, I repeat. It usually doesn't, and I feel comfortable immediately. Some people say that olive oil has high acidity, but I find good olive oil (extra virgin) to be immensely gentle on the skin.
