Experience:

I used it on my 3 yeaar old son who had an accident with a hot pressing iron. I fresh aloe vera to apply on his burn and within a week the burns dried and he is fine now.

Fresh Aloe vera is natural, therefore it has no chemicals in it and I would recommend it to others to use it as I am a proud user who has seen positive results within the shortest period.

Andrew Raff from Australia used Aloe Vera for Burns and Sunburn

Did it work?

Yes

Were there side effects?

Brand Used:

Fresh from the leaf

Form Used:

Fresh gel from the leaf

Timescale:

The same day

Experience:

Relief of pain within 5 minutes. Rapid recovery of burnt tissue - within days. Sunburn - almost immediate relief. I had a 3rd degree burn to my left palm; Aloe vera applied as a whole leaf mix relieved the pain within minutes; and, applied several times a day over 7 to 10 days gave significant healing. This wound finally healed over a short period (4 to 6 weeks) and now has no scarring what-so-ever. Any cuts, burns, stings I apply the whole leaf and always have relief within minutes. My wife has used the "gel" on sore gums with immediate relief (taste is not so good though).

Recommended?

If you have no medical contra-indications, use this plant. Categorically for burns there is nothing better* *Serious burns should always have a doctors consultation immediately. Always have an Aloe vera plant, they require evry little care, and can give much reward.

Salil Gupta from India used Aloe Vera for Burns and Sunburn

Did it work?

Yes

Were there side effects?

Brand Used:

Forever Living Products

Form Used:

A jelly cream or lotion

Timescale:

Several months

Experience:

All of us in my family have been drinking 30 ml of Aloe Vera Gel for past 2-3 years now.
My son, while brewing tea, accidentally spilled boiling water on his upper thigh. When other creams did not work, we recommended that he use Aloe Vera Gelly twice/ thrice daily. In matter of two weeks, the whole thing heald completely.

Recommended?

Drink Aloe Vera Gel and apply Aloe Vera Jelly on the burnt skin. The first nourishes skin beneath, regenerates new cells and cleans the dead cells from within.
Aloe Vera Gelly helps in regeneration of the new skin from outside.
