Blog Post
This was initially written for a client of Klazema Communications while I was a freelance writer for
them. The client was a European medical company that wanted a blog post on burn ointments and
how they are applied. I was not provided any further information, even suggested keywords.
NOTE: This is written in Australian English as that was the target audience of the blog.

The 4-Step Burn Treatment Home Remedy That Works with Any Burn Relief Ointment
Burns are among the most common of household injuries. Burns include everything from cooking
without caution and splashing yourself with hot oil, to knocking over a candle and singeing the hair on
the side of your arm. They are just a part of every day life. But regardless of the circumstance, you
should give your burn immediate medical attention. Since most burns do not require hospitalization,
there are a number of burn treatment home remedies that can be effective. Depending on the severity
of your burn though, it may be necessary to acquire a burn relief ointment to relieve the pain and
reduce eventual scarring.
When it comes to treating burns, it is important to diagnose your burn before selecting the appropriate
burn treatment home remedy. But regardless of your specific burn or the burn relief ointment you
choose, these four steps will effectively reduce your recovery time.
1.
Determine whether or not you need to be hospitalised
A majority of household burns qualify as first degree burns, indicated by a tender area of red skin. If
that is all you see, you should be fine. If the area is blistery and looks as though it will require a
bandage, hospitalization should be considered. If the area is relatively small and the blister doesn’t
seem very deep, it is probably just a minor second degree burn. But if the wound looks deep or covers
a large surface area, do not rely on burn treatment home remedies or burn relief ointments. Get to a
hospital!
2.
Rinse the burn in lukewarm water
This step is fairly simple and self-explanatory: run some lukewarm water over the wounded area. This
will provide temporary relief from the pain and will also clean the wound if there is any risk of infection.
It is important to note that lukewarm water will be better for a burn than cold water, which victims tend
to crave right when the burn occurs. Cold water can feel nice in the moment, but can actually worsen
symptoms in the long run!
3.
Apply Burn Relief Ointment
There are a number of burn relief ointments on the market. Depending on the nature of your burn and
your specific medical preferences, any of the following could be good options:
-Antiseptic Cream—The purpose of antiseptic cream is to dress the wound to prevent potential
infection, rather like rinsing it. This is the most common burn relief ointment and can be bought over the
counter as Neosporin (Johnson & Johnson).
-Tea Tree Oil—This could be considered the all-natural alternative to Neosporin. The purpose
of tea tree oil is also to cleanse the wound to reduce the possibility of infection. Remember when using
tea tree oil to dilute it with water.
-Aloe Vera—This is one of the most common skin ointments of any kind. Completely natural
and very effective as a skin moisturiser that aids regeneration. As a result, applying aloe can
significantly reduce scarring.
-Theresienol—This lesser known over the counter burn relief ointment is possibly the most
effective because it is a cleansing therapeutic oil noted for aiding skin regeneration, reducing scarring,
and preventing infection.

Enjoy Long Walks in the Woods with Park Trek on One of Our West MacDonnel Range Walking
Tours
If you’re feeling pent up in your apartment or townhome and are in need of an extended weekend, now
is the time to take advantage of the walking tours available in the West MacDonnel range. With
summer right around the corner, the weather is perfect to let your outdoorsy side take hold and treat
yourself to an adventure to remember. The increasingly popular four-day tours of the West MacDonnel
range and the Larapinta trail are becoming a go-to escape for natives and tourists in Australia. So join
the masses and indulge yourself in that much-needed escape from day-to-day city life.
As medical experts will testify, everyone needs to be outdoors on a daily basis. On top of being a
healthy way to balance the long hours we spend indoors in this day and age, being in the sun actually
alters your body’s chemistry in many ways that benefit your health. So be wary of the hours you spend
in your office or at home glued to the television and give yourself the gift of nature with one of our West
MacDonnel range walking tours.
Be Fully-Immersed in Nature with a Small Group on Our West MacDonnel Range Walking Tours
One of the benefits of having an expertly planned and guided tour for an outdoors expedition is that you
don't have to worry about researching what the best or most appropriate trails are for your travel needs
and level of experience. Our experts have already taken care of that, pre-planning the trips we know
Australian natives and tourists alike are eager to see.
One of the problems with many services that offer similar expeditions is the size of their trips. With Park
Trek, you will never have more than ten or fifteen people with you, allowing you a full escape from the
bustle of the city you sought in the first place. With a small group, it is easier to appreciate the quietude
of nature and to truly remove yourself from city life.
Enjoy the Outdoors with All Your Basic Needs Taken Care Of
Everyone loves the outdoors. But few of us are true survivalists ready to take on the wilderness as our
ancestors did before the reigning in of agriculture and the dawn of organised society. That’s why our
walks on the West MacDonnel range tours are fully equipped with all your meals and tasty treats
provided, while still not demanding casual hikers to don heavy travel packs with camping gear. We also
keep the distances on any given day to a modest distance readily achieved by the average adult.
So whether you are an experienced outdoors specialist or a hiker in training, at Park Trek we are
prepared to show you a side of nature you've never seen before. With all your basic needs provided,
we offer an authentic outdoors experience accessible to everyone. Regardless of what your
background may be, at Park Trek we are committed to shining a new light on nature for anyone willing
to take a look. Join us today on a four-day walk in the West MacDonnel range!

Cooking and Home Decor Resources
Snippet Sales Copy
These were initially published on resource pages that went along with kindle books. I’ve provided
samples from four items off of two posts that can be viewed live on the following links.
Link one: http://homemaderecipes.com/deals/homemade-christmas-recipes-resources/
Link two: http://youresopretty.com/creating-your-dream-home-resources/
Note: I was not responsible for all of the copy on those pages.
Scrappy’s Exotic Bitters
Bitters have, as of late, blown up on the market, a bit like craft beer has. For those unacquainted with
the world of mixology, bitters make up the spice cabinet of any true bartender. There are classics like
Angostura or Peyschaud’s that will always get the job done, but this exotic set is what you need to
really spice things up!
Luxardo Maraschino Cherries
When you think of maraschino cherries, I’m sure what comes to mind are the sugary, neon red balls of
corn starch that can be bought at your average grocery store and are used in casual dive bars. If you’re
serious about mixing, don’t settle for anything less than Luxardo maraschino cherries. Once you give
these a try, you will never look back!
Deco Bros 3-Tier Spice Rack
They call it a spice rack, but really you can use this convenient wall-hanging storage for just about
anything. In fact, I currently have mine in the shower. The point is it’s a versatile item that both looks
good and helps you clear up a bit of that much needed cupboard space.
Hotel Luxury Bed Sheets
These are for a queen size mattress, but other sizes are available as well. When it comes to bed
sheets, the biggest factor is thread count. Typically, the higher the thread count the higher the quality,
and the higher the cost. These sheets, though, sport a whopping 1800 thread count while remaining
affordable!
