Yesterday I burned my fingers with hot oil while frying some tofu. It was damned hot and painful. I instantly soaked them in ice cold water then smeared it with Ayurvedic Turmeric paste. Repeated it three or four times with this paste and today I can type again without any blisters or soreness. One can prepare turmeric paste the way my grandmother used to do but I can imagine, one needed courage for the mess it makes especially it is going to colour your fingers and nails for weeks! All the same if one is eager to try: * Fresh turmeric (one kilo) should be crushed or grind finely and cooked it in coconut oil (on very slow fire). This process might take between 4 to 5 hours. Cool it and if you want you can separate the tumeric particles by sieving it. Store in cool place so that it is creamy. I you do not want the intense coconut smell of it you can camouflage with other fragrance like sandals or jasmine etc. This is also excellent for women after childbirth: to wrap it around the stomach with thin cloth (like corset) for two to three weeks changing the cloth and washing it everyday while at the same time massaging the stomach. It shrink the surface muscles of the stomach without any vein marks left. (Doc. this is not my own experience because I was never given the situation but my grandma was a midwife and this was one of her method) Otherwise this turmeric cream she is using it almost on every itch and scratch and burns!
