There are a lot of different ways in which a person can get burned at home. Some of these will require a trip to the emergency room, but many are completely treatable at home. This can be accomplished with some common household items and plants.
One of the first things that you should consider to soothe your burn is milk. Whole milk works best for burns because of the fat content. All you need to do is soak your burn in milk for about 15 seconds. If this is difficult, you can soak a towel in milk and lay it on the burn for the same amount of time. This will soothe the burn rapidly.
Another option is an aloe vera plant. Simply break off one of the leaves at a thick point and rub the gel on your burn. This is very soothing and works quickly.
A more unusual remedy is Preparation H. This hemorrhoid cream is used for soothing burning sensations. As such, it is just as useful for soothing the burning sensation caused by burns. It is also important to keep your burn elevated.
