Remedies for sunburn 🥵
A couple of weeks ago I got sunburnt badly, I had forgotten to bring my (natural) suncream with me. I thought I was in the shade but turns out it wasn’t shady enough!
A good lesson for a Celtic skinned red head to always leave the house prepared. 🫡
It also gives me the opportunity to share my top 4 remedies which are good for sunburn, so I hope this is helpful for anyone else that may get caught short like me…!
So thankful that once again homeopathy can help in a minor acute situation like this.
4 remedies for sunburn ⤵️
Cantharis - No 1 remedy for burns of any kind. Intense burning sensation which is better for cold applications.
Belladonna - Think red, hot & throbbing sensation, if you have these symptoms this remedy will help. Sunstroke w/ dilated pupils. Worse for heat & motion & better for being lightly covered. This rx really took the edge of the sunburn off for me!
Causticum - Sunburn feels raw & sore, may blister and makes you feel melancholy & restless. Feels worse at night and better for cold drinks.
Sol - This one will be coming to Spain with me in the summer. I plan on taking some before sun exposure (along with using my non toxic suncream). It is also great to take after sun exposure to mitigate effects of too much sun. If sunburn is more intense I’d go for one of the above remedies.
I also liberally applied organic aloe vera post sun exposure which helped greatly. It’s important to stay hydrated and seek medical help if the burn is very severe.
Hope this helps.
