Naturally Treat Blisters







Blisters


Blisters are not a bad thing. They come as a result of injury, like a burn. The fluid inside of them is mostly collagen, which is used to repair the body, and white blood cells, which fight off infection. So you don't necessarily want to get rid of blisters. You do, however, want to help them go away so that you know you are healed.


Instructions


1. Put a bag of ice over the wound you have received, whether it is a burn, friction wound or a cut. This is more of a preventative measure, as doing this will help the wound heal immediately and therefore cause fewer blisters to form as a result of the wound.


2. Wash the area that gets blisters with soap and water. Be very gentle and use a dabbing motion rather than a scrubbing motion in order to prevent the blister from popping.


3. Dry off the blistered area with a cloth using the same gentle motions you used to wash them.








4. Apply some aloe to the blister, especially if it is caused by a burn or friction wound. It helps moisturize the skin and also has healing properties.


5. Brew some echinacea tea and drink it throughout the day. It will drastically boost your immune system, which means your blisters will do their jobs faster and then be gone.
