title: Commentary: alternative burn care in Israel: and it is spreading to the States.
abstract: This article outlines effective at-home therapies for burn care, both first aid and post-hospital. Therapies for reducing the need for grafts and pressure dressings are proposed. The practice of rubbing the burn wound is challenged.
