When a minor burn happens, the first thing to do is to get it under cold running water as quickly as possible. The sooner the burning process can be stopped, the better. You need to put out the fire, so to speak.
The second thing to do about a minor burn after it has been held under cold running water and the burning has ceased is absolutely nothing.
Leave it alone. The skin isn’t broken, and the body is designed to take care of the problem. If a blister forms, do NOT pop it.
Leave it alone. The fluid will be absorbed back into the body and help with the healing process.
Cover the burn with a clean porous bandage-like gauze and leave it alone for a full 24 hours. After a full day has passed, you can start applying the aloe vera gel to the burn.
Aloe vera gel is found in the middle of the leaves of the aloe vera plant. Simply cut a leaf open, extract the gel, and apply it to the burn.
Or you can use the universal oil, Lavender oil. This oil can help eliminate allergies and other types of burns.

Companion Animal “Heart Talk” with Young Living Essential Oils (Part 2)
The ABCs of Heart Talk
Heart Talk is also about keeping pollutants low; exposure to too many environmental poisons is known to not only affect our pets’ health, but their behavior as well. Here is a simple approach that can cement the bond of trust and love between you and your companion.
A. Start the introduction of essential oils, especially for smaller animals, by first using Thieves® Household Cleaner to clean your home. This is an easy way to assist all immune systems. Thieves cleaner is safe to use in homes, aviaries, barns, and all other places where our best friends live.
B. Use Young Living’s TheraPro Diffuser for environmental modifications. A simple method of establishing a healthy environment is to set up the diffuser with 5 minutes on at low volume and 20 minutes off. Set this way, a bottle of essential oil can last for several weeks.

Health and Home Remedies
Contrary to the popular belief held by many, it really isn’t necessary to run to the doctor for all of the minor problems that affect health.
There are, of course, times when a doctor is needed, and at those times his help should be gotten as quickly as possible. But for the minor problems, hurts, and ouches that just come with living in this world, you don’t really need a doctor — a little common sense and a few home remedies can take care of most of them.
Bruises: Arnica is often used for muscle soreness, but it is also effective for healing bruises. Arnica is a homeopathic cream.
Simple rub a little on a bruise and it will help the bruise to heal very quickly.
Minor Burns: A little lavender oil. The lavender oil will take the sting out of a minor burn and prevent scarring as well.
The lavender oil needs to be diluted. Use one part lavender oil to three parts of olive oil.
Clean the burn first with soap and water, then apply this mixture about three times each day and don’t cover the burn.

Diaper Rash and Home Remedies
Most babies will get diaper rash sooner or later. They have been getting diaper rash since diapers were invented.
You can use the universal oil, Lavender oil, for the healing of diaper rash. This oil can help eliminate allergies and other types of burns.
And if you are asking of other remedies, here’s the best home remedy (or any other remedy), it is simply to give the baby’s bottom some air. Wash the baby with just plain warm water, place it on a sheet with waterproofing underneath and let the baby go without a diaper at all as long as possible.
The very next thing to do is to quit using perfumed baby powders on the baby’s bottom. They will simply irritate the diaper rash.
