  1. How to treat it with oil?

    To treat boils, bath the area with hot water and a blend of 3 to 4 drops chamomile, lavender and tea tree twice a day. To treat burns apply ice-cold water for 10 minutes then apply a few drops of either chamomile or lavender directly to the burn. For a dental abscess, put 1 drop of chamomile oil on a cotton ball and apply directly to the abscess. Chamomile flowers also work wonders when used in a warm compress and applied to a swollen jaw, or painful ear.

    How to treat it due to the cause of oil:

    1. Make sure the cause of the burn has been removed. Try not to come in contact with it yourself. If the chemical is dry, brush off any excess. Avoid brushing it into your eyes. Remove any contaminated clothing or jewelry.

    2. Flush the chemicals off the skin surface using cool running water for 15 minutes or more.

    3. Treat the victim for shock if he or she appears faint, pale, or if there is shallow, rapid breathing.

    4. Apply cool, wet compresses to relieve pain.

    5. Wrap the burned area with a dry sterile dressing (if possible) or clean cloth. Protect the burned area from pressure and friction.

    6. Minor chemical burns will generally heal without further treatment. However, if there is a second or third degree burn (the skin has blisters covering an area more than 3 inches in diameter) or if there is a systemic (overall body) reaction, get medical help immediately. In severe cases, don’t leave the victim alone and watch carefully for systemic reactions.

  2. Rub some aloe vera on the burnt skin or a cool compress.
