The sun is your friend but it can also be the friend you get too much of. Sun is something each and every one of us need each day. It is vital in the production of vitamin D as well as for a plethora of other functions our body carries out.

The sun draws toxins from within out so we must be sure to eat plenty of green leafy vegetables and drink plenty of fluids as well as nourish our skin to have these toxins removed.

In cases one receives a burn from the sun there are treatments in which one may administer to attain releif.

1. Drink water. Drink lots and lots of water.

2. Pure aloe. I am not referring to the fake stuff mixed with chemicals but I am talking about right off the plant aloe.

3. Lavender. Ancient Wisdom Essential oils offers the best I have found yet.

Always have some near by. It kills bacteria as well as soothes

4. Beer. Sit in a beer bath (the darker the better). The hops soothe and take the sting out of the burn.

5. Green Tea. Sit in a green tea bath. The tea soothes and takes the sting out of the burn.

These are just a few remedies which have been working time and time again.

In the future when going out in the sun make sure your skin is protected by light clothing. If at the beach or pool use a sun reflectant such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

Most of all, respect the sun and it will respect you.
