Q. When we were at the beach a friend of ours burned her hand on a very hot pan handle. (I had just pulled the pan out of the broiler.) I grabbed the soy sauce and had her soak her hand in it after she ran the burn under cold water. She reported relief and the next day she was fine. I was really worried it would blister. She smelled like marinade but that’s a small price. We credited you for the save.
A. Thanks for sharing your success with soy sauce. We heard about this home remedy for burns from an Oregonian listener to our radio show.

I haven't had any experience with Soy sauce, but when I had a really nasty steam burn--and after soaking my arm in cold water for hours, it still burned--I poured honey onto it and wrapped a cloth around the arm. It burned for a little while, and then everything was fine. Also, I wasn't left with any scars.
I have had excellent results with vit E.: snip open a capsule and spread it on the burn. Also aloe is as good, if not better, for burns and wasp stings. I used to keep an aloe plant in the kitchen but find the aloe gel one can buy in a bottle is convenient and works well.
I accidently plunged my hand into boiling water and after running cold water over it a bit used the gel, reapplying when the pain started again. The next day my hand was fine and not even red. Usually relief comes almost instantly but this was a large area.
My son was stung by a wasp that got under his glasses. I administered aloe to the sting and it didn't take long to ease the pain. The quicker one can do this the better it works.
I burned my hand yesterday. After pulling a pan out of the oven (German Pancakes) I forgot for an instant and grabbed the handle on the stove. I'm sure I had severe 2nd degree burns on my palm and fingers. After 2+ hours of cold water/ice bag I remembered reading about the soy sauce. I put my hand in soy sauce for 45 minutes. And then on and off for about 2 hours as needed for the pain. When I went to bed last night you could see the burn and it was tender but did not burn. This morning it's still red but no pain -no blisters and only a little tender. WOW!! I'm amazed!!
