AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON SKIN BURNS
If you have ever wished for a quick natural remedy for sunburn after lingering too long at the beach you’re in luck. Ayurveda, India’s 5,000+ years-old natural health system, can help.
The other good news is these remedies are just as effective for other types of skin burns.
The key is to have the necessary ingredients on hand so you are always prepared.
Let’s take a look at eight natural sunburn (and skin burn) remedies.
1. Essential oils (like lavender, which is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory) can help prevent a skin burn from becoming infected.
2. Aloe vera reduces inflammation of a burn by reducing nitric oxide.
3. St. John's Wort may help heal nerve damage from a burn.
4. Rosewater is a cooling anti-inflammatory.
Now combine these remedies (Source: Jill Stansbury) to make a spray to heal skin burns. Sprays are preferred on burns because they don't require touching the painful wound.
- 30 ml rosewater
- 14 ml aloe vera gel
- 12 ml St. John's Wort tincture
- 4 ml Lavender essential oil
The following are topical applications for sun and skin burn:
5.Egg whites help remove pain and speed healing.
6. Amazingly, honey does the same. Studies on Manuka honey show it significantly reduces the time it takes for a burn to heal.
7. Or try this: Place a slice of red onion or its crushed pulp onto the burn.
8. Tea tree oil. During her 2nd pregnancy, my wife suffered a kitchen burn that quickly became infected with a spreading red rash of cellulitis. A dangerous condition that sent us immediately to urgent care.
They confirmed the diagnosis and suggested starting a course of antibiotics right away. We decided to give essential oils a 24 hour trial.
Five drops of tea tree oil in a 1 tbsp coconut base eliminated the infection within several hours.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic,
systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda
shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them
using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't
take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you.
Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.
HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your
body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of
biocharacteristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
