Cold tea is good for sunburn too. I guess it's the tannin.
I don't mean that iced tea drink, I mean proper leaf tea brewed and allowed to go cold.

I use aloe vera for burns and stings and such. Just snap off a bit of the leaf and squeeze out the juicy bits.

Vinegar has been mentioned, but I'll mention it again because it's quite the wonder cleaner and it's so inexpensive. (white vinegar I mean, not balsamic or redwine vinegar LOL ! )

Vinegar is helpful to reduce the pain of marine stingers too.

When I used to get splinters as a child my auntie used to make a bread poltice and I thought it was gross and I still do, but it always drew out those nasty splinters.

Lavender oil or whole cloves are good for keeping insects away in cupboards

Gosh, I have more but can't think of them at present.


Melody, there are natural practitioners who do that cupping thing and they sure do leave huge red circles. lol.
