Aaron, sorry I didn't read your post earlier. This is a home remedy personally used by me many times. Get some Vitamin E capsules, or liquid Vit. E. When you burn or cut yourself, wash the wound gently and apply the oil immediately. With burns, it prevents blisters from forming if you can apply it within 5 minutes. Also the pain will disappear within 5-10 minutes. With cuts, it stops the bleeding and helps them heal faster. I once cut a chunk out of a finger while trimming bushes. I applied E and covered the hand so I would remind myself not to use the hand and reopen the wound. It healed with barely a scar, and when I say chunk, I mean CHUNK. But the best part is that the pain goes away. Keep some nearby!
