“…Oils were recommended in the first aid management of burn wounds in the 1900s, before the belief that this makes subsequent treatment more difficult [5]. Some groups have attempted to evaluate the pharmacological properties and mechanisms of action of a number of traditional remedies including Sulcona W , a traditional Siddha medicine originating from Southern India [6], and the mixture of olive oil and lime cream originating from Turkey [7]. The Amish community have been observed using traditional remedies such as a combination of burns and wounds ointment (typically aloe vera, lanolin, honey, white oak bark, comfrey root and lobelia) with burdock leaves [8].…”

Background: Burns are considered a serious health affection that leads to several consequences affecting a person both physically and emotionally. Herbal and traditional medicine have become popular remedies among patients worldwide. Aim: This study explores common practices followed in burns as first aid management. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia using a designed questionnaire distributed electronically through different social media. The questionnaire consisted of socio-demographic details, history of burns, causative material, and practices followed in response to burns. Results: 461 individuals have participated in this study. The commonest reason for burns was hot water or steam. The majority of the respondents (63%) had a satisfactory response to self-aid alone at home. The most common first aid options for managing burns at home were cold water alone 195 (42%), any sort of cream alone 177 (38%), or both 317 (69%). Overall, the result shows no statistically significant difference between the outcome of burn injury and the most commonly used burn aids. Conclusions: Most people use creams and water as the first-aid management of burns, while a good number of people use traditional medicine. Overall, people who receive hospital treatment after getting first aid at home give a better outcome.
