[Herbalist] Aloh

[Alicia Whitecotton]

It seems like all burns turn red/purple and swell after a few hours. . .Aloe
Vera promotes new skin cell growth, so this could be why the skin looked
slightly thickened (or it could just be the puffy swelling that accompanies
a burn).  Anyway, it doesn't sound to me like anything out of the ordinary.
Yes, Aloe is great on burns, and you should continue to use it.  When I have
a burn, I usually use Aloe from my plant, and after the burning/stinging
goes away, I use Calendula ointment with a little vitamin e rubbed in.  That
seems to keep me from scarring.

Hope this helps.
