Then i decided not to be a baby, put some more on, kept it on, and watched some TV to get my mind off of it.

Four hours ago while I was making some green tea, I boiled some honey accidentally letting it warm too much. My telephone rang and I answered it with the cup of honey in my right hand. The motion of grabbing the telephone spilled the honey all over the tops of my right hand, my thumb and my fingertips. Initially I resorted to running cold water, then immersing my right hand in a big plastic bowl of ice water. While this did initially stop the pain, it came back sooner than later and was quite irritating and uncomfortable.

I used coco butter on that. My sister swore on that to get rid of scars. I put the mustard on like I would put it on for a hot dog and instantly the pain was gone. Then I wrapped it in gauze and I guess that was a mistake. The pain came back in about 10 min. I put more mustard on and again, the pain gone instantly. Thought I would try that, but thought I would add ice to it. No pain as long as in iced mustard soup, but as soon as I took it out, instant pain.

So now I have just mustard on it, but it is still very painful. I noticed if I keep bending my arm back and forth,the pain lessens,but I will probably have a sore arm tomorrow. Sure hope so. It is , the fresh mustard is on. I think the reason it helped when i moved my arm back and forth is due to the gait therory. That is the belief that the nerves that send pain messages can not compete with other messages at the same time.

So,if you move some part of your body or concentrate on how another part of your body feels, you block the pain messages from going to your brain. Well, sorry to say, as I was typing this last bit, my pain came back already.

My daughter is 3, she rolls out of her bed onto the floor from time to time, my husband and I put a lot of padding on the floor to cushion her fall. Our house is older, so it has baseboard heating, my poor daughter rolled out of her bed, but she rolled so far that she was near the baseboard heater, which the heater is on the other side of the room.

She must have raised her little arm up until her fingers were in the heater touching the heating element because the heater was above her head. My husband and I were out in the living room watching tv when we heard her scream. I ran in her room to find her near the heater and I immediately new what had happened. I brought her out into the living room and looked at her fingers. She had burned the very tips of her 4 fingers — they were white.

It sorta neutralized the pain but I could feel the burn coming back. I looked up burn remedies on the web and came across this. Need to try it, now!

I tried aloe and baking soda paste, neither worked. I finally found this and tried mustard! After applying mustard the pain immediately decreased. Fingers crossed…. Hey Everyone — I can testify to mustard as remedy for burn. Last night, I seared steaks on the burner then put the frying pan in the oven to finish them off.

After removing the pan from the oven, I later grabbed the handle — forgetting it had been in the oven. I kept running cold water over my hand. It was fine as long as the water was running, but without the water it was an awful burning. My daughter Googled burn relief and found this reference to mustard. I slathered mustard over my fingers and hand and there was almost immediate relief from the burning.

After I rinsed the mustard off, there was no burn. Through the night, it was fine and this morning, I can hardly tell of the burn — just slightly swollen, but no burn and normal coloring. Very thankful! I spilled rapidly boiling water on my foot. I had to apply it twice, and I continued to dunk my foot in ice water and it took 45 minutes to relieve the pain. I slept with mustard on my foot and have blisters still from the initial burn, but there is no pain.

The worst thing that could happen to a girl happened to me… I went to get my eyebrows waxed and came out the salon looking like a monster not even being able to open my eyes because of the pain. I got home, cried, and then applied aloe vera from a plant I had in the back… the pain was still horrible and I went online when saw this mustard remedy for burns.

Mother was H-O-T!! I turned to the sink and turned the cold water on and plunged it under the faucet. All five fingers were burned from finger tips to palm. My palm was also burned horribly. I could tell from the pain that this was going to be BAD and I started to cry. After 20 minutes, I could see that all of my fingertips were full-on blisters, as was most every bit of my palm. I realized my evening was over, and took refuge on the couch with a huge bowl of cold water and a pile of towels.

I took mg of ibuprofen and settled in for a good, long, miserable, tear-filled night, as my hand was throbbing and burning even while in the water. I had my husband bring my laptop to me, and I began searching for help on the internet. I was beginning to think I would have no choice but to go to the ER.

The official medical sites said no home remedies would work…. So I suffered for about 2 hours, downing additional Ibuprofen and even stronger pain meds.

Eventually I could bear it as long as my hand was submerged in cool water. But as SOON as I removed it, even for a second, an intense pain that made me sob and fall to my knees would begin. I had a constant struggle convincing my primary-care doctor to prescribe the natural treatment, though.
