Question:

My son burned his foot on the exhaust pipe of a motorcycle. Any suggestions on how to help with healing?

It is a 2nd degree burn in the arch of his foot. He's only three.


Answers:

Major burns should always be treated by a medical practitioner; however the homeopathic remedies Cantharis and Causticum can assist in burn healing. A number of botanical remedies, applied topically, can also help burns heal. These include aloe (Aloe barbadensis), oil of St.-John's-wort (Hypericum perforatum), calendula (Calendula officinalis), comfrey (Symphytum officinale), and tea tree oil (Melaleuca spp.). Supplementing the diet with vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc also is beneficial for wound healing.
