Bur ns/ Sunbur ns
Special not e bef ore w e get t o t he remedies in t his sect ion: Though t he Mayo Clinic says most f irst and second degree burns can be t reat ed at home, serious burns should be t reat ed prof essionally. Please do not use any home remedies on serious burns.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Though t here is not a consensus on w hy t his w orks, t his st udy concluded t hat apple cider vinegar support s healing af t er a burn. Some say it is because t he apple cider vinegar rest ores damaged skin?s pH, w hile ot hers say it ?s due t o t he high percent age of ?pect in, succared, vit amins (B1, B2, B6) (A, E, C), salt , mineral[s such as] as (sodium, calcium, magnesium, aluminum, phosphor, cobber, [and] silicon).? (source) W hit e vinegar is also considered helpf ul.
To Use: Some people add one cup of apple cider vinegar (or w hit e vinegar) t o a t epid bat h, w hile ot hers pref er t o dilut e it (50%w at er and 50%vinegar) and spray it on or apply w it h a sof t w ashclot h.

Baking Soda
For sunburns, Seat t le Children?s Hospit al recommends pouring 1/4 cup of baking soda in a bat h t o help w it h discomf ort . Soap should be avoided as it can be irrit at ing. (source)
To use: Add t o t epid w at er and soak f or 15- 20 minut es, t hen allow skin t o air dry or gent ly pat it dry. Bat he once or t w ice per day as needed. (Personal not e: Because baking soda is alkaline and healt hy skin has a slight ly acidic pH, it might be a good idea t o f ollow t he bat h w it h a dilut ed vinegar spray t o balance skin pH.)
Coconut Oil
W hile usually considered benef icial, moist urizers like coconut oil can t rap heat and delay healing f or sunburned skin. It is generally recommended t hat it be avoided unt il t he skin is cool and healing is underw ay, alt hough a small amount of oil used t o dilut e essent ial oils may be appropriat e. Af t er t he skin has cooled it is considered helpf ul f or rest oring lost moist ure.
To Use: Apply a t hin layer as needed.
Honey
As I ment ioned in t his burn salve recipe t hat blends honey w it h lavender essent ial oil, t here is a lot of research t hat support s t he use of honey f or common kit chen burns, sunburns and more.
The st icky st uf f ?s been used as a t opical burn salve since Egypt ian days. ?St udies suggest it may w ork bet t er t han some ant ibiot ic creams at speeding up healing, reducing inf ect ion, and minimizing pain,?says Kat hi Kemper, M.D., aut hor of The Holist ic Pediat rician.? (source)
It ?s not my f irst choice f or larger body applicat ion simply because it ?s st icky, but it is an opt ion.
To Use: Apply honey t o t he af f ect ed area and dress w it h gauze if desired.
