SunburnNatures Super Natural Remedy
Sunburn ~ Natures Health Foods
 Concern: Sunburn Remedy: Water Why it works: We've all had this dilemma which causes dehydration, making already compromised skin even drier. How to use it: Drink at least 64 ounces of water per day while you're recovering. You can also use water to reduce pain by applying it directly. Dip a washcloth in cold tap water, then lay the cloth over the affected area. Repeat up to several times a day. Other remedies to consider: Remedy: Zinc Why it works: Zinc helps stimulate the body's healing process. How to use it: You can take zinc in tablet or lozenge form or get it through food.
Where to get it:
Zinc-rich foods include wheat germ, oysters, bran cereal, pumpkin seeds, cashews and pine nuts.
Remedy: Aloe
This is my tried and true remedy for a sunburn.
Why it works:
The juice of the aloe vera plant has been used for thousands of years to treat skin conditions.
It is believed that the plant's mucopolysaccharides are the active ingredients that help soothe skin.
How to use it:
You can buy packaged aloe vera gel at most drugstores.
Many grocery stores sell large aloe leaves.
What you want to do is cut open a small piece and squeeze out the gel and gently apply to the sunburn.
You can also keep an aloe plant in your home for easy and immediate access.
What to watch out for:
It's possible to be allergic to aloe.
If you've never applied it to your skin before, test a small area and wait a few hours to make sure you can tolerate it.
Remedy: Yogurt
Why it works:
Yogurt is prized for its cooling properties in several cultures.
Indians serve raita and Greeks serve tzatziki, both made with yogurt, as a complement to spicier dishes.
It works just as well on the skin as it does in the belly to cool things off.
How to use it:
Apply plain yogurt to all affected areas.
Allow to dry, then gently rinse in cool water.
Pat dry with a soft towel.
