Sometimes burns are inevitable. Whether it be a curling iron or hair straightener or the oven or stove. There are many ways I can find to carelessly burn myself when I am just not paying attention. It happens and the best and quickest remedy I have found to work is traditional yellow mustard. The stuff is magical for a burn!

There are times I have mentioned this trick  to people and I get weird looks but I promise it works for us! It has been used by myself, my son, my fiancé and my father-in-law on more than one occasion and it’s worked every single time! It makes sense to me being yellow mustard is derived from mustard seed and mustard seed has been previously used for healing properties. 

Here is how I use yellow mustard for our burns:

1. Apply yellow mustard directly to burned area.

2. Allow to sit for approximately 2 full minutes. You may begin to feel instant relief. 

3. Rinse off with cool water and continue on with your day. If you feel necessary, feel free to bandage up. 

*For extra protection I love this Silver Gel. I will apply as soon as a few hours after the burn but definitely the next day.
