Lotion for Burns
January 22nd, 2019
Olive oil and an equal quantity of boracic lotion (half pint boiling water and one teaspoonful of boracic powder). Mix the two together and keep in a bottle. Apply to the injured part and cover with lint.
This is considered better than carron oil for keeping, as the latter becomes rancid if kept too long.
