Caution should always be exercised and considered when a burn is present. It is important to know what degree of burn you may have before administering treatment at home. If a third degree burn is present it is very important to seek out medical attention immediately. It is also very important to note how large the burn is because even though the burn may only be a first degree burn medical attention should be sought out immediately if it takes up most of the body.<\/p>\n
It is always important to cool the burn site as soon as possible as well as removing jewelry and restrictive items from the body as soon as possible. Do not remove anything if you have a third degree burn as it may cause more harm than good. Seek immediate medical attention and they will be able to remove all of the items properly and safely.<\/p>\n
When it comes to using essential oils on any burn be sure to test the essential oil or essential oils blend on a small test area first to ensure there will be no adverse reactions to the treatment. It is important to test on a healthy piece of skin prior to use on the burn to ensure there are no sensitivities to the essential oil(s) or any allergies.<\/p>\n
It is also important to note that essential oils should be diluted prior to applying to the skin. This will help to decrease sensitivity and reactions to the essential oil(s). When diluting the essential oil do not dilute with a vegetable based oils or any oil that may contain fat as these types of oils can increase sensitivity and can increase the burning sensation of the burn. Olive oil has been shown to help improve the healing process of the burn when applied topically or taken orally.<\/p>\n
Caution should always be used around children and women who are pregnant or about to become pregnant. Caution should also be used around women who are breast-feeding as well.<\/p>\n
Caution should be exercised around pets especially cats as they are unable to process essential oils properly causing the essential oils to become very toxic to them. Dogs are more easily able to process essential oils; however, some essential oils can be toxic to dogs as well.<\/p>\n
Always do your research on the essential oil(s) you intend to use. Remember that not all essential oils are made equal from company to company, manufacturer to manufacturer. Research the company and manufacturer you are purchasing your essential oils from to ensure you are purchasing pure and true essential oils and not blended essential oils containing more carrier oil than essential oil.<\/p>\n
When doing your research it is also important to look into their harvesting processes to ensure they are harvesting the plant at the correct and peak of growth to ensure the highest quality of essential oil as possible. It is important to also check into to their extraction process to ensure they are extracting the essential oil from the plant properly and safely.<\/p>\n
Doing your due diligence will help to ensure you get the best quality of essential oil as possible to ensure you will have the purest form with the correct healing properties you desire for healing you burns and preventing scarring of the burn.<\/p>\n
