A study from South Africa compared the cooling and healing effects of a tea tree preparation (Melaleuca
Hydrogel with tap water on fresh burns. Both were used immediately following the burn for cooling and
healing. It was found that both tap water and Melaleuca Hydrogel increased wound healing compared
with no treatment, but there was no difference between two treatments. The reference is: Jandera V,
Hudson DA, de Wet PM, Innes PM, Rode H. (2000). Cooling the burn wound: evaluation of different
modalites. Burns, 26(3):265-70. Essentics note: Lavender is normally used for healing burn wounds.
