You can apply goose fat to the burn.

Goose fat is a universal medicine of natural origin that contains a large amount of fatty acids, vitamins (especially E and A) and essential mineral salts: chromium, zinc, selenium and bromine. Goose fat can be used to treat diseases of the respiratory system (for example, bronchitis, pneumonia, acute and chronic tonsillitis) and skin lesions. The product has proven itself to be an anti-burn medicine, so even many representatives of official medicine advise patients not to abandon this method of treatment.

Beneficial properties of goose fat

For burns, goose fat is used as a healing and pain reliever. It helps speed up the process of restoration of damaged dermal tissue and normalize metabolic processes in the affected cells. This is especially important to prevent acute hypoxia of the skin, which can lead to cell death and the development of purulent necrosis. Goose fat helps maintain the necessary level of moisture in the cells of the wound surface, and also regulates lipid and electrolyte balance, increasing local immunity and promoting rapid healing of the wound.

Unsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and cholesterol contained in fat have the following therapeutic effects:

• stimulate the formation of a local immune response;
• restore the structure of damaged epidermal cells;
• increase the regenerative activity of epithelial tissue.

Important! The product has a pronounced analgesic effect, so goose fat for burns is considered one of the most effective folk remedies, with virtually no contraindications for use.

Chemical composition of goose fat

The following beneficial components give medicinal properties to goose lard:

• selenium, a substance that improves the absorption of iodine, has a beneficial effect on the endocrine system and protects against cancer;
• cholesterol, in small dosages this substance is useful because it helps the absorption of vitamin D and stimulates the process of cellular renewal;
• tocopherol - vitamin E is important for immunity and promotes the synthesis of collagen, which is responsible for skin health;
• oleic, stearic and palmitinoleic acids, these substances contribute to the rapid restoration of the epidermis after damage and maintain water balance in the body.

Goose lard contains fatty acids and healthy cholesterol.
Since lard is a very fatty product, it should not be consumed internally in large quantities. But if used wisely, it will help improve your health.

Features of use

Treatment of burns with goose fat is allowed only if a small area of ​​the dermis is affected. If there is a large area of ​​the wound surface, the product cannot be used : fat creates a thick film on the surface of the wound, which prevents the penetration of pathogenic microorganisms and impedes the access of oxygen, which can trigger the onset of a purulent-inflammatory process.

Goose fat for burns is especially effective for 1st and 2nd degree injuries. For more severe burns, it is necessary to consult a specialist before use - self-medication can worsen the patient’s condition and provoke serious complications.

In some sources you can find recommendations about opening blisters and blisters filled with liquid (if any) and further applying the product. Under no circumstances should this be done. Opening a blister on your own can lead to infection of the wound and infection of healthy areas of the skin, so any manipulations should be carried out only in a hospital setting.

Rules of application

Burns vary depending on the degree of damage to the skin and the method of injury. Depending on these indicators and associated complications, the doctor determines treatment methods. You can get burned by boiling water, sunlight, chemicals or poisonous plants such as hogweed.

But experts do not recommend using lard for domestic geese. It contains pathogenic microorganisms that contribute to the development of infections and the occurrence of purulent inflammation.

Rules for using goose fat:

• The drug will help with the first or second degree. It is not a first aid remedy for burns, but is quite effective at the wound healing stage.
• You can only help with skin injuries with a pharmaceutical preparation that has gone through several stages of treatment.
• Use on large areas of the face and open wounds is prohibited.
• Before anointing the wound, you should wipe the skin with an antiseptic.
• After spreading the product, the affected area should be covered with a sterile gauze bandage. You can change it 2 times a day.
• The drug must be used with a break of 3 days.
• Do not ignore the use of other medications prescribed by your doctor.
• Follow the doctor's orders.
• Apply lard after a full examination and consultation with a doctor.
• Do not self-medicate.

For burns, goose fat can be used during the healing stage. To do this, doctors advise treating the skin with a special ointment. To prepare it you need:

• 100 g of pharmaceutical lard;
• 15 g sea buckthorn oil.

Apply the resulting mixture to the affected area, then apply a sterile bandage. This procedure, according to reviews from people who have used the ointment, must be carried out within 3 days.

The drug treats purulent wounds. To do this you need to prepare a special ointment:

• 115 g lard;
• 20 g oak bark powder.

After mixing the components, anoint the wound with the resulting mixture and apply a sterile gauze bandage or wrap it with a bandage. The procedure is carried out once or twice a day. Long-term use of the ointment is not advisable.

Do not apply lard immediately after injury. Such actions lead to the formation of a film, creating a favorable environment for the proliferation of microorganisms and infection.

A similar medicine can also be used to treat children. The dermis is nourished with nutrients, moisturized, and heals quickly. But doctors recommend its use in small doses to avoid allergic reactions and other negative consequences.

How to use?

In most cases, a classic recipe is used to treat burn wounds. The skin at the burn site should be generously lubricated with goose fat, and then a sterile gauze bandage should be applied on top. The bandage must be changed 2 times a day. The duration of use should not be less than 3 days . You can stop using the product after the wound has completely closed and healed.

To treat burns at the healing stage, you can use an ointment made from goose fat and sea buckthorn oil. To do this, both components must be mixed in the following proportions:

• goose fat – 100 g;
• natural sea buckthorn oil – 15 ml.

You need to smear the burn 3-4 times a day until the wound is completely healed. If necessary, you can apply a gauze bandage and bandage the affected area.

What to pay attention to

What rules must be followed when treating lesions?

The list of special instructions that the patient should familiarize himself with before using an unconventional medicinal composition can be presented as follows:

1. Goose fat can only be used to treat minor lesions.
2. It is prohibited to use the composition for deep and extensive lesions - after application, the product leads to the formation of a dense film that impedes the access of oxygen to the affected area. The drug can provoke the development of a purulent process.
3. The product can be used without fear only for 1st degree burns. If blisters appear on second degree burns, it is not recommended to use the composition.
4. The use of the product for grade 3 lesions is prohibited. The composition can only be used at the recovery stage; in the acute period, only a doctor can recommend the use of the product.
5. It is forbidden to apply the composition directly after opening blisters filled with liquid. In this case, the composition may cause secondary infection of the wound surface.

Important! Independent use of the composition is possible only with minor lesions of the 1st degree. Before using the composition for massive lesions, you should consult your doctor.

Use in childhood

Many parents are interested in whether it is possible to use goose fat to treat children. Experts do not prohibit the use of the drug in childhood, but parents should closely monitor the child’s condition and monitor possible reactions. The fact is that goose fat is a fairly allergenic product, so the possibility of intolerance cannot be ruled out. If during use the child develops a rash, redness or other allergy symptoms, use of the product should be discontinued.

What fat should I use?

If possible, it is better to purchase the product at the pharmacy, since poultry fat may contain pathogenic microorganisms. The entry of bacteria into the wound will lead to an inflammatory process with a possible purulent course, so it is important that the fat used is as free from harmful substances as possible.

If it is not possible to buy the drug at the pharmacy, you can also use domestic goose fat, but for this it must be melted . The result is goose lard - a completely sterile (subject to all conditions) and safe product. It is prepared as follows:

• Grind the fat in any convenient way and place it in a large saucepan with high walls;
• put the container on low heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes;
• strain the resulting mass and pour into a glass container;
• cover with parchment paper and place in the refrigerator.

Note! To prepare lard, you can use subcutaneous or internal fat of poultry. It is very important not to bring the fat to a boil - it should be heated. Cooking (even short-term) destroys the structure of fat and impairs its healing properties.

You need to store the fat in the refrigerator, but before applying it to the skin you need to keep it for a while at room temperature (no more than 3-5 minutes).

Goose fat is a natural and effective remedy that will help cope with skin pathologies and damage of various origins. In the treatment of burns, goose fat is considered one of the most effective remedies (together with sea buckthorn oil). Preparations based on goose fat are well tolerated and suitable for young children. Despite this, it is better not to start treatment without consulting your doctor, as there may be individual contraindications.

How to choose the right product

If possible, it is better to purchase the composition at a pharmacy. Poultry fat does not have the necessary sterility and can cause infection of the skin surface. When bacteria enter the wound, a process of purulent inflammation can begin.

If an allergic reaction occurs, stop using the composition.

Important! If it is not possible to purchase a purified product, you can use rendered poultry fat.

Simple instructions will help you melt fat correctly:

1. The fat is crushed into small pieces and placed in a basin with dense and high walls.
2. The container with the mixture is placed on the stove and the product is heated for 30 minutes.
3. The mixture is poured into a glass container and placed in the refrigerator.

After this treatment, the lard becomes sterile.

Important! The main goal in the heating process is to prevent fat from boiling. Lard loses its structure and beneficial properties even with short cooking. The finished product is stored in the refrigerator, but should not be frozen. Before application, a small amount of fat is heated at room temperature.

Harm and contraindications

There is a sufficient amount of animal fat, but only goose fat has an optimal composition for the human body. The drug should not be used only by patients who are personally intolerant to it - an immune reaction occurs in extremely rare cases.

Lard should be heated immediately before use.

Important! The possibility of using the product in pediatric practice is not excluded, but parents should carefully monitor the child’s condition. Goose fat can cause allergies. If a rash is detected, use should be stopped immediately.

The list of relative contraindications to the use of goose fat for the treatment of burns can be presented as follows:

• children under 3 years of age;
• lactation period;
• pregnancy period.

External use of the product is not dangerous. The instructions do not recommend taking the composition of these groups orally. During use, it is worth remembering the basic rules of personal hygiene.

If a doctor recommends the use of a different composition to treat a burn injury, the patient should listen to his recommendations. Failure to follow the treatment rules described by the attending physician can cause dangerous consequences.

If treatment using goose fat does not produce results, you should contact a specialist; the cost of delay in this case can be extremely high.
