Essential Relief for Minor Burns and Heat-Stressed Skin
Accidents happen—whether from a splash in the kitchen, a hot pan, or a little too much sunshine, your skin deserves immediate, cooling care. Burn Balm is a specialized herbal formula created to soothe sensation, reduce redness, and nurture the natural healing process after minor household burns. Rich in botanical allies celebrated for their ability to clear heat and generate flesh, this balm forms a protective, nourishing barrier to help restore comfort and speed recovery.
 
For practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Burn Balm can be applied before direct moxibustion to prepare the skin and provide a natural protective barrier during treatment. Should accidental moxa burns occur, the balm is equally valuable for calming the skin, reducing redness, and supporting healthy tissue repair, helping to prevent blistering or scarring.
 
Cooling Herbal Support
We have combined potent herbs used in TCM trauma medicine with gentle Western healers to create a formula that addresses the complex needs of burned tissue.
 
Why it works:
Clears Heat: Ingredients like Gardenia Seed (Zhi Zi) and Chinese Goldthread (Huang Lian) are renowned in Chinese medicine for their powerful ability to drain fire and clear toxic heat from the tissues.
Promotes Regeneration: Gotu Kola and Rehmannia Root work to "generate flesh," supporting the repair of damaged skin cells and reducing recovery time.
Soothing Protection: A base of Organic Beeswax and High Oleic Safflower Oil creates a breathable seal over the injury, keeping it moist and protected from infection while herbs like Lavender calm the sting.
Reduces Stagnation: Herbs such as Dang Gui and Rhubarb Root move blood and fluids, helping to prevent the stagnation that causes pain and swelling around a burn.
 
A Fusion of Herbal Traditions
This formula represents the intersection of clinical TCM practice and traditional herbal wisdom. It utilizes the "cool blood" strategy of Chinese dermatology—using roots like Zi Cao and Di Yu, which are key in many TCM burn formulas, for their renowned ability to soothe and repair burned tissue.
This balm bridges the gap between the clinic and the home, offering professional-grade support for moxibustion safety while remaining gentle enough for the family first aid kit.
 
How to Use
Apply immediately after heat exposure for best results.
For Minor Burns: Run the affected area under cool water, then apply a thick layer of balm to soothe pain and protect the skin.
For Moxibustion: Practitioners should apply prior to performing moxabustion, or to any area where moxa heat has become too intense or caused redness/blistering.
Ongoing Care: Reapply 3-4 times daily until the skin has fully recovered.
