Soy sauce is a wonderful medicine for burns, but the trick is to get the soy sauce onto the burn immediately. Yesterday I burned my left thumb severely when I foolishly picked up the sealing wax stick that I had just used. It was melting and hot and painful. I ran downstairs to the fridge and immediately doused the owy with soy sauce. It was in pain nonetheless, and after soaking it in ice water and then bandaging it, I noticed later in the day that it was ALL better. My husband, Greg, learned this somewhere. It works every time.
Learn something new every day! I will definitley give this a try. I do use ice or ice water when I burn myself, but I am open to anything for faster healing. Glad that you are okay because a doll maker with a burned thumb is not a good thing! It must have really hurt.
