Every part of body accounts for 9% of burns [ eg. *1 hand burn is 9% burn* ] and sum total crossing 40 % of body burns also may cause fatality.

First off all *pour some water* to burned area. Cut off clothes if sticking at burns site. Then use water rinsing for *20 mins* or so as time permits. Water being shital in nature according to ayurveda its of great use in burns.

              Apply *sandle wood* paste it is amazing cooling and healer to burns. One can keep *chandanadi tailam* bootles at home as you keep analgesics or anti pyratic pills at your hand.

*Alloe vera juice or* fresh alloe vera cut is also very effective in keeping the  probable rakt dushti away from the patient. One can also use *Shat dhaut ghrut* or asli ghee for this purpose. Other usefull application could be kapardik bhasm manjishtha or anant mool.

            Fluid replacement is good and necessary in more severe burns. *Drink water + suger or Milk + suger* for this purpose quantity should be according to severity. But give atleast 1 glass of above mixture. *Vanila ice cream* 😘 is also fine.
