Growing up, all of the women in my family had an Aloe Vera cactus in their kitchens. It was the "go-to" in case of a burn of any kind. The soothing jell in one of the "leaves" (which look like an octopus tentacle) can be released after breaking it off the plant. Then, trim any spikes away that are along the edges. Then by cutting across the leaf and squeezing the outer covering of it the soothing jell will ooze out to treat your burn.
Most of the time the Aloe Vera plant lived near the kitchen stove.
Do you have one ? This is the season when you can find them easily and affordably at nurseries.
