A member asked:

Are there any good ayurvedic therapies to help with my bad sun burn?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Mix 1 drop of chamomile essential oil or lavender oil into 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt . Apply to affected skin. If essential oil is not available you can do this with yogurt alone.

Bad Sunburn: Although holistic treatments for skin injuries are available. If someone has sustained a "bad" sunburn then a medical evaluation may be appropriate. Secondary infections, fluid loss and scarring could result from a "bad" sunburn.
