Soothe burns

Depending on their severity, burns can be more or less serious; when the epidermis is destroyed or the surface is extended, a medical consultation is essential. For superficial burns, the priority is to relieve pain. After the rule of three 10s (10 minutes under water at 10°C, at 10 cm) and disinfection if necessary, you can apply aloe vera gel, especially for sunburn. Lavender aspic essential oil works remarkably well, possibly with St. John's wort macerate. Once the burn has calmed, healing is supported with rosehip oil and vitamins K, A and C.
