Vanilla Extract for Burns: Natural Relief & Blister Prevention

Many people who accidentally burn themselves suffer with the burn while they go to get medication from a drugstore. However, relief that could even help deter blistering may be in your kitchen cabinet. Read on to learn how to relieve burns with vanilla extract.

Instructions

• 1

  Grab a bottle of pure vanilla extract from your kitchen pantry or cupboard. Common kitchen burns are typically treated with vanilla extract.

• 2

  Determine if you need a cotton ball or swab by examining the size of your burn and the need for controlled application. If your burn is located in a crease in your skin, opt for the cotton swab. You should use a cotton ball if you burned a sensitive area.

• 3

  Moisten the cotton ball or swab with some vanilla extract by holding the ball or swab over a sink, generously pouring some vanilla extract over it and soaking it. Try to avoid placing the cotton ball or swab against the bottle's opening, as they may contaminate the extract.

• 4

  Roll the swab or cotton ball over your burn gently. Squeeze out excess vanilla extract over your skin if you chose a cotton ball for application.

• 5

  Wait for relief. Reapply the vanilla extract as needed.
