Acid burn, boiled burn, wound, infection, traditional remedyAbstract
Burns are one of the most traumatic incidents that one can experience. Burns are of various types, depending on the severity and depth of the burn wound. The patient undergoing treatment tolerates a lot, including excruciating pain, infection, and burn scars-related issues. Traditional approaches are one of the most effective methods to treat burn injuries. Traditional remedies have the ability to reduce the risk of infection additionally they are cost-effective and free of side effects. Despite the fact that there are many advanced technologies for burn care, natural treatments are needed to avoid more complications because these technologies can have significant side effects and toxicity. The aim of this review is to provide readers information on traditional and herbal treatments for both boiled and acid attack burns. This article focuses on natural resources. This is an effort to investigate and study the pathophysiology of acid and boiled burn wounds in order to learn more about how to treat them effectively. Further scientific studies on enlisted natural resources would be useful for better future management of the above mentioned conditions.
