Using Aloe Vera for Burns and Sunburn

However a burn is caused it needs to be cleaned thoroughly. If the burn (such as Sun burn) is to sensitive to touch spray the area with a solution of Pure Aloe Vera. Otherwise clean with a 99% pure Aloe solution.

If it can be touched the whole area should be thoroughly covered in a Aloe gelatine solution (where Aloe Vera is the number one ingredient).

If the area is in danger of infection apply a mixture of Aloe and Bee Propolis (Bee Propolis is the most powerful natural antibiotic known to man).

The Aloe Gelatine should be applied hourly in severe cases or as often as needed otherwise.

If the burn has penetrated the skin completely a pure Aloe Gel should be drunk on a regular basis. The Aloe will increase the rate at which skin cells are produced and push from the bottom of the skin upwards. Because Aloe will push upwards and not attempt to cover the wound with a scab, weeping may be experienced.

To avoid scarring continue to apply the Aloe Gelatine and drink the Aloe Gel until there is no sign of the burn. For Sunburn continue to spray with an Aloe and Herb mixture and Apply large amounts of Aloe Gelatine.
