Aloe for Burn:

How Aloe Jelly Made a Bad Oil Burn Disappear

by Josh Day

I hate frying anything in any amount of oil.

The crackling oil seems to find my wrist, face, or fingers no matter how deftly I approach the situation.

In fact, boiling oil finds my skin so attractive I've taken to wearing a full jacket and two pot holders whenever I do as much as sauté a batch of onions.

My wife Leah recently got splashed by the deadly napalm in our frying pan while breading some chicken. It was a bad burn and very painful, instantly flaring up and beginning to swell.

It was only a matter of time before the burned skin would bubble and form a blister.

Instantly she ran cold water over the burn and then applied ice.

Leah, in her popular blog Beauty and the Business, states:

My husband brought me some aloe jelly and I slathered it on quickly, but my hand still felt very hot and was really hurting after a few minutes without the ice.
So I grabbed another cube of ice and didn't bother washing off the aloe jelly. What happened next was really interesting: my hand cooled down and stopped burning completely.
Dinner was ready in less than 5 minutes later and as I sat down I applied more aloe jelly to the area. By this time the burn wasn't red or hot to the touch at all. In fact, it looked normal, like it has never been burned.

I really couldn't believe my eyes. I saw myself the telltale inflammation that's the precursor to a nasty and painful blister. I figured the aloe would help with the pain and redness, but I didn't think it would actually make the burn simply go away and dissolve to nothing in less than a day.

The healing process that came about due to the ice and aloe jelly intrigued us so much that we later joked about trying ad-hoc experiments by burning ourselves and one being the control (using cold running water) and the other using ice and aloe.

Leah goes on:

Once the heat is taken out, the skin is rapidly trying to heal itself. Most often it will create a blister to heal the skin itself.
Blisters are great, but they can take a long time to heal and can be particularly painful if broken. What if the skin could be healed without a blister while it's cooling down in ice water?
Aloe is known in Chinese medicine as a cooling herb. When combined with ice, Aloe should having the cooling capabilities to knock the heat out of a burn quickly before significant damage is done inside the skin.
Aloe is also one of the most healing plants found on earth. If aloe is applied any time after the skin is hurt, the healing properties will instantly go to work to repair the damage so quickly the skin will not form a blister.
