Burns refer to damage to the skin caused by heat of fire.

Burn symptoms vary according to degree. In first degree burns the skin reddens, but only the top layer of the skin (epidermis) is affected. The skin may peel away in several days and usually heals quickly.

In second degree burns blisters are created due to damage to the deeper layer of the skin. Second degree burns usually heal without scarring.

In third degree burns the full thickness of the skin is damaged by the heat or fire, causing the affected area to appear charred or white. Tissues below (bones and muscles) the burn areas may also be exposed. Case of third degree burns requires the attention of a burn specialist in order to be properly treated.

There are natural cures for burns designed to provide immediate relief, and aid the healing process. The key here is to prevent an existing burn from getting infected. There are also many complementary therapies that will help reduce the anxiety of the burn victim.
