Severity of Burns
Extensive burns or burns causing more than minor discomfort should be treated by a healthcare professional. For superficial burns caused by temperature (picking up a hot object, for example), natural medicine may be helpful after the burn is cleaned with soap and cold water and gently dried.
A burn is damage to your body’s tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight or radiation. Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns.

Forty years ago, when I was a kid (and a vegetarian newbie), vegetarianism was not common. The statement “I am a vegetarian” was met with a simple “Oh”. Then came the 1980s when it became fashionable to be vegetarian for health reasons. With this fashion came confusion…
If you are a long term vegetarian like me, you will no doubt have been asked “do you eat chicken and fish?” Answer: polite yet emphatic “No, I am a vegetarian”. This question is usually followed by “how do you get enough protein?” Answer: polite yet emphatic “Easy!”
