Sunburns Happen

With sunshine comes the risk of sunburns. Whether due to deliberate neglect or accidental absent-mindedness, forgetting proper precautions can create a world of pain for the next few days. It’s common knowledge that you should apply sunscreen before heavy sun exposure, but sometimes burns still happen. If you do get sun-burnt, the most important thing is proper treatment. There are several simple home remedies and herbal solutions to ease your burns.

Part of the wonders of Chinese Alternative Medicine is the emphasis upon natural healing. The most recognized herbal treatment for sunburns comes from Indian Aloe, or Aloe Vera. Chinese Alternative medicine uses herbs like Aloe to help ease pain for those who are suffering. Aloe Vera gel pulled directly from the Aloe Vera plant works best. If you don’t have an Aloe Vera plant, over the counter creams with Aloe will suffice. As the Aloe Vera plant is made of nearly 100 percent water, its hydrating properties logically help soothe first to second degree burns.

Another natural choice and a favorite in Chinese Alternative Medicine is  sandalwood. Sandalwood is another herbal treatment that helps soothe sunburns. It has cooling properties and can actually act as a sunscreen. Vitamin E is another essential nutrient for your skin, and you can take it either by pill, or with a topical cream. You can wear these creams before you go outside and enjoy the weather. The properties like Aloe and sandalwood can help prevent burns as well as help you cope with them later.

With a sunburn, your skin is dehydrated. It is essential that no matter what cream or medication you decide to take, you drink lots of water. Chinese Alternative Medicine emphasizes getting your body back to its natural state. Your body needs as many fluids as possible after excessive skin exposure. Largely water-based foods, like fruits are great for hydration. Of course, the best way to beat sunburn is to avoid overexposure in the first place. Naturally, you can’t always avoid it, but staying conscious of the sun during the hot months can help. Wear preventative clothing like a hat or wear clothes that cover more skin areas when possible. Use sun block and stay hydrated. Prevention is the best medicine for sunburns.
