that helps keep burns infection-free; and esters, which reduce pain and pro- mote cell regeneration.” How to use: Mix 10 drops of lav-
ender essential oil with pure aloe vera gel (or a favorite fragrance-free lotion) and apply it to affected skin as soon as you notice the burn.
Summer bummer: Muscle strains To the rescue: Arnica
Arnica works for strains, sprains, bruises and superficial scrapes. Most people use it topically, but you can get faster results if you also ingest tablets, Zand explains. How to use: Take three tablets
orally three to five times a day for the first 24 to 48 hours; apply topically throughout the day. Note: Never apply arnica to an open wound.
Summer bummers: Bites, stings and cuts To the rescue: Hydrogen peroxide, yarrow tincture and latex-free bandages
“First, clean the bite, sting or cut with hydrogen peroxide,” advises Flint. “Then follow with a few drops of yar- row tincture, which acts as an astrin- gent to pull the tissue together. It’s safe to use on open wounds.” How to use: Douse the affected
areas with peroxide, then apply six to 12 drops of yarrow tincture.
Summer bummer: Athlete’s foot To the rescue: Grapefruit seed extract
“Compounds found in the inner rind and seeds of grapefruits have shown potent anti-fungal activity,” notes Marrone. “They attack the cell wall of fungi and prevent replication when applied topically.” How to use: Add 10 to 15 drops of
organic grapefruit seed extract to a tablespoon of water and apply with a cotton swab to the affected areas twice daily.
