Sea buckthorn oil is a very effective remedy in the treatment of external and internal burns of thermal (exposure to high temperatures), chemical (exposure to acids and other active substances) and radiation (exposure to radiation during radiation therapy against cancer) origin.
The value of this product lies in the fact that it contains active substances that have good healing properties that affect the affected tissue and its cells. In this case, the process of restoration of the affected area occurs quickly, and the painful sensations are significantly reduced.
The method of using sea buckthorn oil for burns is quite simple and consists in the following:

- if healing proceeds normally, the dressing is changed after 3 days;

Scald egg
Egg burn treatment can be done in several ways:
- In the case of light thermal external burns, a thick protein separated from the yolk is used and applied to the treated skin surface. The resulting film is not removed, it must fall off by itself.
- In the treatment of more complex burns, whisk the white and yolk and apply the resulting gruel to the affected area. The course is repeated until the skin is completely restored.
- Egg oil has long been used in folk medicine to treat severe burns.
Get it like this:
- boil an egg for 15 minutes, peel it from the shell and separate the white from the yolk;

Badyaga from burns
The use of badyagi for the treatment of burns is allowed only in the case of combating the consequences of this phenomenon - scars.

When getting rid of burn scars, it is advisable to use badyagi powder mixed with vegetable oil until sour cream is thick.
