On the stove in our house is a bottle of lavender essential oil. Lavender immediately heals the pain and stops the blistering of minor burns and sunburn. I have a friend who treated a serious burn on her daughter's face with lavender (no scar) and when my 2 yr old placed his hand flatly on a hot wood stove, we all took rescue remedy and I treated his hand w/ lavender eo--no scarring, quick reduction of pain and very fast healing.

<<Rene Gattefosse was a French chemist who worked in his family's perfumery business.  Although the essential oils were being used exclusively for cosmetic purposes, his observations led him to appreciate their antiseptic qualities.  One day, while working in his laboratory, he burned his hand severely in an explosion.  Immediately he plunged his hand into some lavender essence that happened to be nearby.  To his amazement, the burn healed very quickly, without infection or scarring.  As a result, Gattefosse turned his scientific attention to the medical properties of essential oils and their beneficial effects on skin conditions.  His research led him to write the book "Aromatherapies>>

Also, arginine, vit e and zinc are essential for preventing scar tissue and noni and aloe vera are known to heal prevent scars from burns.
