Burns

There are different methods of treating burns.

For example, I taught my son to apply baking soda to affected area (moistened) immediately, if he touched anything hot.

However, if you got a wound, you have to use other solutions.

Urine, aloe and wheat grass juice are all very effective as well.

Young Living offers many products for quick healing.

The ones I found to be the most gentle and effective to apply on an open wound are: Helichrysum, Myrrh, and Lavender. Helichrysum heals immediately. Lavender prevents scarring. Cypress oil applied anywhere on the body stops bleeding immediately. Myrrh feels very soothing. It is a thick oil and therefore stays on longer than other oils.

Essential OIls Desk Reference also lists vetiver and cistus "for inflammation due to tissue and capillary damage and bruising." LavaDerm combines Lavender and aloe gel.

I had the most amazing experience using Lavender on a 1-year old girl when she bumped her forehead on a table. In front of my eyes, just a dab (much less than a drop) of Young Living essential oil of Lavender made the formidable bump disappear!

When my tongue felt inflamed, I put Myrrh on - it felt so soothing! It healed by the morning!

Here is a copy from the Essential Oils Desk Reference:

A great testimonial to the healing powers of high quality essential oils is given in a very inspirational book written by Gary Young, The Gift.

Please read testimonial from the letter forwarded to me by my group. You will be astounded!

Keep in mind that therapeutic grade essential oil of Lavender is cooling to the skin and promotes tissue re-generation.

LAVADERM COOLING MIST

I was there at the training when Gary introduced LavaDerm Cooling Mist.

He asked for volunteers to recieve a burn, to test out the new product. Of course no one volunteered so Gary said he would have to be the volunteer.

He called Dr. Friedmann to come up and witness how bad a burn he would recieve when he placed a hot burning iron on his arm.

I was clear in the back and when he touched it to his arm I could hear it sizzle. Gary dropped his arm immediatley from the pain of the burn. Everyone let out a cry for Gary.

We could see the smoke and smell the burnt flesh. Dr. Friedman said it was 3rd degree burn and then he sprayed the LavaDerm Cooling Mist on the burn.

Instantly Dr. Friedman said that he could see tissue regenation. Gary sprayed his arm 3 times before he started to pat the burn. We all "ooo"

thinking that has to really hurt. But he kept patting harder and harder. Saying it didn't hurt any more.

He came down off the stage to show us his arm and when he stopped by me I decided to touch below the burn on his arm and above the burn to see what the arm felt like. The arm was was very cool. Then I touched the burn thinking that I would feel great heat but the burn was just as cool as the rest of the arm.

I was really amazed.

As you look at the pictures you can see how it cooked his arm and a week later the hair was growing back and 6 months later you could hardly see the scar.

Keeping the fluid insider the blister as this hand shows with the Lavender and LavaDerm Cooling Mist and also you can use the grated potatoes with the Young Living Products makes the skin toughter so it won't break so easily.

The fluid has healing properties to help heal the burn and the longer the fluid stays inside the blister the better off it is because you will have a better chance of not scarring.

The Deadly Dehydration of Burns

The reason that burns tend to swell and blister is due to fluid loss from the damaged blood vessels. That is why it is important to keep the burn well hydrated and drink plenty of water.

In cases of serious burns, fluid loss can become so severe that it sends the victim into shock and requires intravenous transfusions of saline solution to bring up the blood pressure.

Eugeniya's comment: This is where immediate application of urine is so crucial.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) has 187 constituents and synthetic lavender only has 4 constituents . How can you get any benefit from using over the counter lavender? Adulterated and mislabeled

essential oils present dangers for consumers.

One woman who had heard of the ability of lavender

oil to sooth burns used lavender oil from a local health food store when she spilled boiling water on her arm. But the pain intensified and the burn worsened, so she later complained that lavender oil was worthless for soothing burns. When her "lavender" oil was analyed, it was found to be lavandin, instead of Pure Therapetuic grade lavender Lavandin is a hybrid lavender that is chemically very different from pure Lavendula Angustifolia. Lavandin contains high levels of camphor (12-18%) and can itself burn the skin which intensified her burn.. The YoungLiving Lavendula Angustifolia, contains virtually no camphor and has a burn soothing agent which is not found in lavandin.

My husband Blaine was putting wood in the new stove we bought and a block started to fall out. He reached to grab it and grabbed ahold of the frame inside the fire box burning his fingers. Literally cooking his fingers white. I grated the potato and got a bowl with ice-cubes and added the Lavender oil to his fingers and mixed lavender into the grated potatoes.

He kept his fingers in the bowl of ice and lavender- potatoes. When the potatoes got hot I replaced them with cold lavender potatoes. He fell asleep with his fingers in the bowl and when he woke up in the middle of the night the pain was gone.

The next morning you could hardly see where his fingers had been burned. Nancy Sanderson

Keith Bartholowmew Writes

I thought you might be interested in an experience I had. Yesterday a co-worker got mixed up with a large grinder here at work. It peeled the hide off three of his fingers, one finger nail was ground clear through. I called Delene (my wife) and had her bring the lavender over. He wasn't sure he wanted to put it on because it might burn. I told him that if anything it would take the burn out of the burn. We applied it and it really helped. The pain was mostly gone and the stiffness went out of it. I applied the lavender about once an hour and as he was going home offered the bottle. His response was, that's ok, we have some at home. I explained that the training I had, had warned us about some of the "cheap" lavenders and what they did to burns. He assured me that he had "good" stuff and left.

This morning as soon as he got here he looked me up. Seems like his "lavender" isn't the good stuff. He said that when he put it on it about set his hand on fire.

He has to fly out to Washington state tomorrow and says he is going to stop at the farm on the way and get some "good" lavender.

Jancie Writes

One I was cooking and when I transferred the soup to a serving dish, some soup spilt on the stove. I took a cloth and wiped it, but my baby finger wiped the stove as well, causing the whole side to turn white with the burn. A concerned mother-in-law called for ice and cold water, quite worried that I'd have a massive blister. In pain, I quickly got out my Lavender that is always handy in the kitchen, and put some on the burn. It stung for about 40 seconds and then I had no discomfort. I kept applying the lavender every so often and that evening, I showed my mother-in-law my 2 baby fingers and asked her to tell me which one had just 4 hours previously been white with a nasty burn - yes, to her astonishment, there was novisible sign I had ever been burnt!

Needless to say, she asked where she could buy this magical oil and I gave her the bottle as a gift to take back home with her.

Nandini Weitzman Writes:

Last summer my husband Efrem and I were visiting friends at Cape May NJ for a week. My husband picked up and cupped his hand around a metal teapot which had boiled dry on the stove, not even realizing the stove was on. He severely burned the entire palm of one hand, and our hostess ran for the aloe vera plant which she had growing in the kitchen.

I came into the house a half-hour later and heard this story and rather loudly said: "Why in heaven's name would you go for aloe vera when we have lavender!" and immediately poured lavender all over his palm. (By this time the entire palm had blistered up and was quite painful, even with the aloe) Every 10 minutes or so I poured lavender on. I banned the aloe from further use as both my husband and friend (not "into" the oils) kept wanting to use it as well. I told them it would not even have blistered had they used the lavender immediately. After awhile his palm stopped hurting, but the blisters remained.

Two days later when we had come home we went for our usual chiropractic adjustments and our chiropractor, who NEVER suggests anything medical, saw Efrem's blisters (which were quite formidable and covered his entire palm) and recommended we go immediately to the hospital emergency room, as "blisters like that always break and then one is very susceptible to infection". Of course we didn't go, as we knew lavender had not only handled the burn but would handle any infection - and we had the other oils besides. I actually didn't know what would happen to the blisters, and was so excited and pleased to see that they never broke but shrank back onto the hand and eventually peeled off, revealing new completely un-infected skin!

Efrem's hand looked like this except the whole hand was a blister.

Several months later Efrem again grabbed something still hot on the stove and again burned his hand severly! This time we poured lavender on immediately. It took 3 or 4 times to eliminate the pain entirely - and the hand NEVER BLISTERED AT ALL, because we got it on immediately. The healing this time was much faster!

Has my husband learned not to grab hot pans from the stove? I'm not counting on it, but we do always have lavender nearby!

Thank you, Nancy Sanderson, for inspiring me to share this! Your newsletters are a treasure, and the Dastrups also!

Richard & Shauna Writes:

Seems like every few months one of us has to have something unusual happen to Us so we can really test our oils again.

Last Friday late afternoon, Shauna accidentally put her left hand on the electric Stove at our summer home in the mountains. Needless to say she was in much pain.

Between a second-degree and third-degree burn. She burned her full hand and some On her fingers. You could see the 1/2 the circle of the hot plate.

She immediately yelled for help as she put her hand under cold water. Always having My peppermint in my pocket, I dropped a dozen drops and ran to get the lavender.

Searched the cabin for LavaDerm with no success. We did have a bottle of Aloe Vera Gel which she added.

This large of burn can cause dehydration and mineral loss. She said her hand felt better If she kept it in cool water. She added to the water helichrysum, lavender, and Idaho Balsam fir oils to support tissue regeneration and to reduce scarring and skin discoloration.

When her hand wasn't in the water she would add all the oils listed above along with Aloe Vera gel. It took about 10 hours before the hot painful heat subsided. When this Happened she could finally sleep. Not finding our Rose ointment at the cabin either, she Used Tender Tush to help keep her hand moist and alternated it with her YL hand and Body lotion.

By Saturday noon, she could rub her hands together without any pain. By Sunday most Of the half circle from the heating element had disappeared along with most of the larger Blisters.

She continues to use the YL oils and supplements of Longevity capsules, Sulfurzyme, And Super Cal to support her body.

Today, Monday, she is using her hand like nothing happened. But she will have to continue Using the products to reduce and remove the scarring.

Always grateful to have our Young Living products.
