This is a first aid trick that I learned from an active duty EMT who was also a long-time missionary in a third world country. While there are a few people who do know about this, it's certainly not widespread knowledge. So, the title is somewhat hyperbole, and a little tongue in cheek.

The reason given for using foil is completely wrong. Aluminum foil reacts with the vinegar in mustard. You could use any "condiment" with vinegar (as long as it also contains less sugars) and this will still work. As the mustard (i.e. vinegar) dissolves the aluminum, a transfer of positive ions flow from the burn away to the foil. Positive ions are a big factor in feeling pain. If you make positive ions from a painful injury flow away...pain decreases. This has been known, and used, since WWII by Japan in the Pacific. They'd get burned and have no bandages (when napalmed by the USA while trapped on little islands)...so they would wrap burned limbs in corrugated roofing material which would react with the oozy burns resulting in just this chemical reaction. AND, a very small electrical charge also occurs which reduces (by a lot) infection setting in...

I use a foil hat, because when carefully crinkled and folded, creates a quantum entanglement field around the brain, causing a disturbance in the fabric of spacetime that confuses any mind-reading technologies. The irregular surface of the foil serves as a diffraction pattern, making it impossible for advanced sensors to distinguish any coherent brainwave signals. It’ ultimate brainwave protection!

YEP! I'm an old lady now and I learned this stuff way back in the day working in diners. A young fella was going through the kitchen putting up dishes and such and he was leaning and slipped a little bit and when he tried to catch himself his hand off the cooking counter and dipped into the deep fryer🤯! Yikes! It was horrible! But an old lady and gentlemen, both cooks in the kitchen, immediately grabbed a big jug of yellow mustard and put his hand all the way in it and then pulled out and loosely wrapped the whole hand in the aluminum foil. It was incredible. We was all freakin' out but those folks knew what to do. They took him to the hospital themselves and later we found from the doctors that the mustard had save his hand 😅 . I NEVER forgot that day, and luckily enough, I've never had to use that method on such a grand scale as that. Important note here: NEVER throw a wet towel on a burning person thinking that the moisture will put the fire out quicker saving the person from damage. The Truth is the moisture steams the flesh burning it several layers deeper than it would if you had used a dry towel. Be careful out there kids! As I always use to tell my youngins; Be Cool, be Kind and be Careful and have a Great Day!🌻🐝🌻

I was just thinking about my grandmother telling how they would use a "mustard pack" against their chest, under their clothes, when they had a chest cold. I think she said it was to clear up the mucous in the lungs, and to try to prevent it from turning into pneumonia. People died back then from pneumonia. She had a cousin, he was 15 years old and he died from pneumonia. She was born in 1910.

When I was a kid, my mom managed a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Nashville, TN. She would take me to work with her when she worked early weekends. Put me to sleep on a 50lb bag of pinto beans. When I got up, I would go help the cooks in the kitchen. I burned myself once when I grabbed a pan of biscuits out of the oven without a mitt. The cook immediately put my hand under cold water to stop the skin from cooking, then applied a nice amount of yellow mustard on my burned fingers. Completely did the trick. Been using the remedy ever since, over 40 years now.

Makes sense in the fact that the mustard is sterile (has to be to last in the packaging) and it’s an isotonic solution that will draw fluids out of the burned area. This is one of those cool things that has either been forgotten or ignored because it’s “folk medicine”. Friendly hint, folk medicine is generally in existence because it works. There are certainly cases where it doesn’t, but the majority of it does. Thanks for the awesome video!

Been treating burns for years using the age old Mediterranean way…. Tomato purée. As a chef you can’t just sit it out when you get a burn. So, smother immediately with the purée, wrap in kitchen towel, then cling film. By doing this the wound won’t blister or leave a scar. It also cools and cleanses the wound, protecting it from infection.

I think that is because it's rich in vit C. My son was cooking something fatty when he burnt his fingers when picking up something that fell out of the frying pan when flipping the food. There wasn't time to get ice out and treat the burn... he just kept prepping while the food was cooking. He needed sliced tomato and the moment he picked the slice up he noticed instant relief. Since then it's a go to medication in our house. Raw, grated potatoes also helps especially if Aloe Vera gel is mixed with it.

Just this week, I saw your video, and I even told a friend about it last night! It must have all been prophetic because this morning, when I was broiling a turkey, I got a burn on my hand from direct contact with the oven heating element...could actually smell burning flesh! I went immediately to the fridge, whipped out the yellow mustard and put some on the burn. Then, I covered it with foil. Left the foil on for about 45 minutes to an hour. I could feel the heat coming from the burn through the foil. Now, about four hours after the burn, there is no heat, no pain and only a small open area, on which I have reapplied the mustard.

The trauma center where we used to drop a lot of patients had a 5 gallon tub of mayonnaise on hold in the cafeteria in the event we brought them a patient with asphalt burns. Apparently applying it to an asphalt burn allows the asphalt to be removed without further damage to skin. Also, there’s a Chinese burn salve called Ching wan hung that is absolutely miraculous when used in the treatment of burns and soft tissue injuries. 25 years as a paramedic and having people telling me to never to put anything on a burn and I watch this stuff stop scarring and pain on second degree burns.

I've heard of using yellow mustard on burns and have done it many many times but I was always told to NOT wrap it for at least a few hrs ( I believe it was about 3-4). And then rinse the mustard off and reapply if needed. Then if it needed protection wrap it loosely with a light price of gauze but not tape it down. The yellow mustard ( the vinegar in it) help draw out the heat from the burn. That's the way it's been done in my family for generations. Great video. Thank you for helping so many people.

Also cools fat in the skin.Saliva is very good if lack of water💧 🎉😂❤.Done it many times.Lastly if there's nothing nearby press against a very cold surface like metal...etc & change it to a cold spot after every few seconds to keep skin cool.

Great video (from someone with the proper letters behind their name). One point of correction -- 3:15 "first degree burns, even the ones with minor blistering" Medical tidbit -- "blistering" is a second degree burn. If there are a few scattered blisters, then it is a mild second degree with surrounding first degree. There is never only a second degree or only a third degree anyway. The reason it should be used with caution in second degree burns is the increased chance of infection with broken skin. While the vinegar does help this, the sugar and other non-sterility of the technique can promote it. Whenever you are doing this, every time you remove it, even if putting on another layer, wash it with soap and water very thoroughly. (If you don't have soap in your first aid kit, don't call it a first aid kit.)

Thank you for sharing this. I would like to add something. You might consider changing the mustard for honey. My wife is beekeeper and judge in beeproducts. She attended a course on apitherapy whitch is based on the benefits of honey, propolis and other beeproducts. Honey is besides other very affective as a medicin against burns. I poured half a liter of boiling water over my wrist. We covered the burned spot (about 5 x 5 cm ) almost immediatly after with honey and covered it up with bandage. Normally such a spot will be irritated and tense like tearing. The honey cooled and the enzymes in the honey did its curing work. Two weeks afterwards nothing was to bee seen from the burned spot. I heared storys about jam and ketchup but they for sure are not that healthy and would not recommend those. Nice addition is the aluminium foil!

One of the reasons this works well it's that yellow mustard has tumeric in it. Tumeric is has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Growing up, if I sprained my knee or had a muscle ache, my mom made a simple paste using tumeric powder and water. It's applied on as a thick paste and wrapped with a gauze or cloth. Been used in India for hundreds of years as a good home remedy!

Another little known remedy is ground red pepper. I live near an Amish community and was at a sawmill and noticed a large tin of red pepper. I asked who liked the pepper and they informed me that it was for cuts. A few weeks later I cut across 2 fingers. I cleaned the wounds and applied a triple antibiotic on one finger and ground red pepper on the other one (was concerned about burning but there was none). Three days later I removed the bandages and the antibiotic treated finger looked like a clean almost fresh wound. The peppered finger had knitted back together and was well on its way to being healed. A month or two later the Amish guys brother cut off the tip of his finger in a wood shop. I asked if he put red pepper on it and he said no it was hurting so he used lavender oil and then black pepper. I have not tried this one. If I cut my finger off I plan to go to a doctor, at least for now. Since Covid I have lost confidence in the second oldest profession.

My son is a Corpsman and he carries mustard for his Marines. When someone is hypernatremic, squirt a mustard packet down their throats and they'll being improving almost immediately. I was already home, and seriously considering a trip to the emergency room, when I got that prescription from him. Two mustard sandwiches later and I was fine.

What is Hypernatremia? From Mayo Clinic … “Hyponatremia occurs when the concentration of sodium in your blood is abnormally low. Sodium is an electrolyte, and it helps regulate the amount of water that's in and around your cells. In hyponatremia, one or more factors - ranging from an underlying medical condition to drinking too much water - cause the sodium in your body to become diluted. When this happens, your body's water levels rise, and your cells begin to swell. This swelling can cause many health problems, from mild to life-threatening.”…

Good tip and easily added to any kit. Here's another one. Tea bags, several of them in your kit for bee stings. When stung, soak a tea bag with water and press onto the sting. Hold for 5 minutes or so and by then the sting should subside. The tannic acid in tea neutralizes the venom. It will feel as if you hadn't been stung.

Black tea bags (the usual "iced tea" kind), wet and warm, are my go-to for "there's something in my eye/or maybe it's allergies" feeling. Make a cup of tea, let the bag cool a little, gently squeeze into your eye to rinse it out. You'd think it would sting but it doesn't and even seems to reduce the redness. My stepdad was told to rinse with and drink strong black tea after having his teeth pulled to make way for dentures and for a wonder he listened and was amazed at how quickly he felt better. Not a doc/not medical advice/blah blah don't sue me.

When my son was 11, he was lighting a propane stove. Apparently, there was a crack in the propane pipe that we were not aware of. When he bent down to light it, the flame engulfed his head. He immediately ran for the bathroom, stopped, and turned around to go back and turn off the propane. As he ran for the bathroom, he wailed to his older sister, "Is my face on fire?" He jumped into the shower on all cold water. I was out making funeral arrangements for his father's burial. My daughter called to tell me what had happened. When I returned home, he was over the kitchen sink pressing his entire face in a container of ice. I took him to the ER, and he kept a gallon bag of ice on his face. When the hospital removed the ice he started screaming for the first time, since it had occired. There were big blisters on his cheeks, ears, lips, and entire face. He had done all of this on his own without anyone telling him what to do, within seconds of it happening. At his father's funeral he had his face covered in a white nitrate cream. One month later we had a family portrait done, and he had absolutely no markings from the extensive burns to his face. I am so glad I taught my kids at an early age first aid, and that at such a young age, he reacted quickly and calmly.

NPR a few weeks ago had an article about treatments used in 3rd world country hospitals that don't have modern equipment. For 2nd and 3rd degree burns, they apply fish skin and leave it on until the burn heals. Our hospitals apply bandages and remove them daily and apply fresh bandages. This is extremely painful and actually tears the new skin which slows healing. The skin heals more quickly with less trauma under the fish skin which also protects from infection.

JUST as you were saying you learned this from an EMT friend I was typing that I am a NP (Nurse Practitioner) and have worked on 3 Continents and in 11 Countries, most of them 3rd world. THIS was one of MANY things I LEARNED from those I was there to teach and serve…..there is never a time in my life that I have EVER thought my education taught me “everything”…..I learned MORE from people with ZERO “formal” education than I feel that I did obtaining my Masters Degree. You NAILED it Brother! Mustard is a natural pain killer and being a vasodilator, it also brings down a fever which most of us remember our parents or grandparents telling us they were about to put a “poultice” on and before we could ask “WHAT is a Poultice?” in our fevered stupor, we were usually losing consciousness from the smell of the Mustard Poultice LOL! I am SOOOO glad I stumbled across your channel (or rather that YT’s algorithm worked for the FIRST time in a LONG time because I REALLY do NOT want to see a load of junk about how to make a wreath out of plastic flowers or braid my dang hair one more time!!!🙄) as I had forgotten about this one and it a GREAT item to put in your “Go Bag” or “SHTF Bag” as my Hubby calls it. Remember to add a few packages and CHECK THE EXPIRY DATE on these (they are usually on the crimp so grab that magnifying glass!) and to also add a couple pairs of rubber gloves (one for the person applying it and one for the unfortunate patient if it is a hand injury) as it will help to keep it as clean as possible depending on where you are. Also add some sterile water to rinse the area first as removing ANY dirt is imperative to the mustard reaching the highest efficacy (the best ones for a ‘go bag’ are those single use sterile eye drops that come in a pack of 10 with the tear off tops.) and also some sterile 2x2’s or 4x4’ and a roll of sterile gauze and tape. ALL of which should be in your “go bag” too (or your trailer if you are camping). THANK YOU so much for sharing this as I had forgotten about it and it WORKS! One of my ER docs is Ice Climber addict and he got an “ice burn” (look it up, they HURT much like a steam burn they burn twice, once when the ice/steam goes IN and again when it comes/melts out.) and he immediately grabbed this out of his waist bag and used it and he said it saved a large part of his hand. He took biopsies of the skin each time he changed the ‘dressing’ and that IS absolutely a pun…which he said from his personal findings and what he saw under the microscope for bacteria counts, that it would be best to change it every 12 hours if possible. Just an FYI as most people will react in different ways to mustard and some people it is completely ineffective on so if you want to know if mustard will work for you or not, the next time you get a paper cut (shiver), put some mustard on it and then a bandaid so your wife doesn’t kill you for leaving yellow all over the house, and change the bandaid and mustard every 12 hours and see how it heals but most importantly, you SHOULD know if it does work for you within the first hour because of the pain killing factors of yellow mustard, if that paper cut (shiver) doesn’t hurt after an hour, you are most likely a good candidate for this treatment if the chips are down (again, pun intended lol) if the mustard takes the pain away in the first hour or less of application of the mustard. GREAT JOB!!! (And new sub!!! We can NEVER stop learning or what’s the point in living?!❤🙏🏻).

When you cut off oxygen to the nerves that is what stops the pain. Mustard appears to be similar to turmeric which is an anti inflammatory. You could also keep mustard seeds or powder and mix with water which causes the chemical reaction. If able to keep Saran Wrap it will work as well. Blisters are formed due to the depth of the burn not lack of oxygen, as one posted below. Blisters are your bodies own Saran Wrap so to speak! If you haven’t looked into honey doing the same or more it is amazing. It never expires, even though they post use by dates, that is because they can crystallize, just stir or heat up. Honey is natures miracle, could save a diabetic in low blood sugar, is anti inflammatory on wounds, and anti microbial. In veterinary medicine we put it on de-gloving wounds and the results are amazing! The attributes of honey is endless. It does not need to be Manuka honey or a medicinal honey , it can be any kind. It should be unpasteurized, or gamma zapped if worried about botulism, but do your own research. If you had to choose between mustard and honey, I personally would choose honey, since it is a sugar as well as a wound dressing, more uses. Studies revealed that the healing effect of honey could be classified by its antibacterial, antiviral, anti- inflammatory and antioxidant properties of its components. Read this and do your own research. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3941901/

Honey doesn’t expire, but they put expiration dates on it, probably because of the unknown things they add or do to it! Remember crystallize honey doesn’t mean it’s bad, but honey can be contaminated. It will hinder most from growing, but not if care isn’t taken.

Former EMT here as well, The vinegar also helps draw out the heat. Try dipping a rag into a bowl of white vinegar then laying it on a sunburn. It will draw out the heat so well, the vinegar you squeeze out of the rag will be HOT. Just squeeze the vinegar back into the bowl and redip the rag in the vinegar and repeat. You will be stunned at how well vinegar draws out heat from sunburns. (You might smell like a pickle for a while, but hey, if you like pickles, that’s okay! )

Thanks for this video, as I was one of the people who "didn't know" about this. And I love mustard and aluminum foil, so I will always have this at home. If someone doesn't have these at home, but has pure honey (made in the U.S.), this can help "band aid" the burn while drawing out the heat (or something like that). I accidently poured boiling water on my thumb and forefinger and after an argument with my roommate regarding which methods are best for this (between honey and professionally produced burn spray medicine), I applied honey to one half of the burn, and the spray to the other. The honey half experienced more pain while the heat was drawn out of it (or something like that), BUT it healed about twice as fast as the burn spray side. Next time I accidentally burn myself again like that, I will use honey on one side, and mustard/aluminum foil on the other and see which works best. Thanks again.

After a few days, it got better, but I did continue to use it until I felt better. Just throwing this out there for anyone who may have, or get a sunburn. 😎✌️

Lots of good information in the comments list. I was told by an ER doctor after a bad cut to my fingers, whereby I had lost so much blood because I don’t coagulate very well. I’d been out bush and they had to drive me in. He told me, in future to find a new clean spiders web, and lay it over the cut, the blood will react to the stickiness of the web and coagulate around it, thus stopping the bleeding, it also has antiseptic and anti fungal properties. Good one to know, as with the mustard for burns.

Cool! We use unsweetened applesauce. My husband got a second degree burn from touching the side of his hand on a very hot pan - immediate large blister. We dumped a mini- carton of unsweetened applesauce on it, loosely wrapped his hand in gauze to hold the applesauce in place, and covered it with a plastic bag taped in place further up his arm. Two days later, we removed it all, washed it off, and presto - no more burn, no more blister - his former burn wasn't even pink. My husband’s father from Amsterdam was an engineer on a cargo ship. He accidentally cut off the end of a finger while operating machinery in the 1920’s. The ship’s Chinese cook/medical officer put warm olive oil un the ends of the finger & severed piece of the finger (no bone involved), pressed the severed part back in place, slipped a brass bushing over his finger, wrapped it up, left it for a few days, and his finger was mended.

Very cool trick heres a little science as to why. Aluminum itself let alone metal, acts very strangely when it comes to heat transfer/ conducting, so when it's (on) a warm surface, it pulls/draws the heat away from the warmer surface, but the metal itself cools quickly as well. That's why they use it in computer cooling components, for heatsinks aka heat fins/ cooling system. Because they draw the heat away and even the slightest breeze or outside air cools it quickly the metal and surfaces its touching, it makes alot of scientific sense.

It really helped if your nose was all plugged up. It would really help your breathing. But you cant buy it anymore. It stunk but really worked. Something stupid I did was burn my hand with my flat iron. It was about 370 degrees. I immediately soaked a papertowel in alovera gel & wrapped my affected areas, left it on for like 3 hours. The blisters I had were really deep. But I kept putting on the alovera on everyday. Those blisters healed up & never came to th he surface.

Try using white toothpaste like colgate or crest. My go to in the kitchen. Keeps sting and throbbing away and prevents blistering. Also for blisters, I thread a needle with white thread, pierce the blister and allow for thread to extend on both sides of piercing. This allows for the blister to drain and adds a wick effect that keeps the blistering from repeatedly filling with fluids, thus minimizing throbbing and helps with healing.

Try a fresh cut onion next time. The only problem is you have to hold it in place for about 30 minutes. But, this has been found to take the burn almost away. It does work really well for bad kitchen burns. I love the mustard and going to try this too... with the onion on a different spot to see which one works better next time. I loved the foil wrap idea and this makes sense to me and will be adding this to my kit too. Keep comfrey oil in your kitchen. If you didn't get to the burn fast enough.. use this to heal the wound in half the time. Just a few drops. Always seek professional help if possible. Nice to know alternatives just in case help isn't available. I have had deep cuts from accidents and used the comfrey and it healed my wounds almost overnight. Also, oregano oil is great for infections. This works better then triple antibiotic cream. Hope this helps. Love his videos.. always nice to learn something new.

ADDITIONALLY IF YOU HAVE ANY EGG'S, GRAB ONE, USE THE WHITE PART ONLY IT WILL STOP THE PAIN IMMEDIATELY, NO SCARRING. THANKS FOR THIS INFO

Interesting! Knew about mustard packs on the chest because of personal experience…but didn’t know about it for burns. This would be harder to do out in the field, but if at home, coconut oil is incredible for burns. Several years ago I was making a thermos of tea. As I was pouring hot boiling water into the thermos, I slipped and it nailed me in the web of my left hand (between the thumb and index finger). I immediately got it under the cold running water for as long as I could stand it (it was winter time in Montana). When I couldn’t take the cold water any longer, I immediately started applying the coconut oil. As soon as it soaked in, I added more to the area. Did that the remainder of the day. By that night, the redness and soreness was gone. The next day, just to make sure, I put the coconut oil on probably 4/5 times throughout the day. No peeling, no scar…no indication that I had poured boiling hot water on that area.

I put a drop of 75% DMSO on small burns, cuts, and infections. Immediately kills pain, aids healing, prevents peeling/blisters

Good info. I have seen fresh sliced tomato work very well on a burn also. The pain instantly goes away, but comes back as soon as you take the tomato off of the burn.

I suppose you could use mustard on that as well.

It is the vinegar in the mustard that is the active ingredient, we did also put vinegar on sunburn, one folk medicine that works.

Actually it's the mustard and tumeric, as I understand.
