Simple sunburn relief herbal remedy; and another for heat rash too! From M

[Guest guest]

Hi group, here are a couple of solutions for sunburn and heat rash. Enjoy!

It's summer time and sunburns are experienced by many people daily. My son gets

them on his head (he doesn't have alot of hair to protect his scalp). There are

several things that he does after he's been outside in the sun without his hat

on (which isn't very often).

Remedy #1

Aloe Vera Leaf

This herb is probably the most important herb to have around the house. Simply

cut off a 2 inch section of a leaf from your plant. If you don't have a plant,

your local drug store should have some in a bottle.

Aloe Vera juice is very beneficial for your skin providing pain relief, it

contain anti-biotic properties and promotes the removal of dead skin while

stimulating the normal growth of living cells.

Remedy #2

Emu Oil

The Australians have been using emu oil for centuries. Some studies show that

emu oil contains properties that absorb directly through your pores without

clogging. Even though it isn't an " herb " , it aids the skin heal from burns,

while also promoting the growth of new, healthy skin.

My son tells me that if he gets it on his skin in time, he avoids all of the

skin peeling that usually happens when he gets burned.

I have mixed these two together in a small mixer and it works somewhat, but

since one is an oil and the other is water based, they can be difficult to get

them to mix properly.

Heat rash can be very painful and is usually caused by sweat ducts become

blocked and swelling. There are several methods to treat this, but as far as a

natural remedy, I use a combination of Black Walnut extract combined with aloe

vera. The black walnut has natural iodine in it which has antiseptic and healing

properties and the aloe has soothing properties to help take away the pain. Make

a small amount and use as needed to bring relief and comfort to a painful

condition.

Hope these help.
