For minor burns, aluminum foil can provide relief. First, cool the burn with cold water for 5 minutes and pat dry. Apply a moisturizing ointment and wrap the area in foil. If the wound is open, cover it with gauze before applying the foil. Leave it on until the pain eases.
This technique, while intriguing, should not replace professional medical advice or treatment. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider for persistent or severe pain.
