Soy Sauce and Burns

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.

  1. 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.

    Happy holiday weekend!

  3. So sorry to hear about your nasty burn! I didn't know that about Soy sauce. How interesting and good to know! I always just use ice if its really bad or cold water if its just a sting burn. Aloe Vera is wonderful for a burn too. If you have the plant you can break a stem leaf off and let the juice run over the burn. Takes the sting right out!
    Happy you are better!
