Use the highest measured IU's for Vitamin E Oil only. Put it directly on the sunburn without bathing the skin. Put is on often as soon as it soaks in. Usually the next day the burn will begin to heal rapidly and not a lot of peeling. I read this at MD Anderson in the skin cancer center that if you can heal the sunburn without peeling you reduce the damage and it gave this treatment. Use Tylenol for pain. Aloe Vera only works immediately after the burn. Sunburns occur over a period of time so by the time you realize you are sunburned, it has been several hours so it won't work. I used this on my young children and myself and it works every time.

Is peppermint oil is good for shingles and what other essential oils can be used?
I have had direct experience using this for client care and hearing uniformly positive feedback. One DOES NOT , however, apply pure peppermint oil- far too harsh. Making a strong peppermint tea (say 4 bags to a pint) and apply compresses and as a wash to the affected area as needed. One could add a very well mixed DROP of therapeutic grade peppermint essential oil, which is widely available. This is a situation where "more is not better". Other oils may be caustic, and essential oils use necessitates at least SOME education and awareness, so I would caution not to experiment. A drop of lavender essential oil could be helpful, added to a water infusion, but peppermint seems to win all around for most .

Is it OK to put peppermint oil on your penis?
You should never apply an essential oil directly to your skin as they are highly concentrated. However, if it's contained in a carrier oil with a ratio of 1 drop peppermint oil per 1 tsp-tbsp of carrier (coconut, olive etc.) then yes it's perfectly ok, but peppermint oil will always tingle/burn slightly due to its menthol content. Different peoples skins are more sensitive to peppermint oil than others so test it on a less sensitive part of your skin first, (wrist, neck, cheek) and use a less concentrated ratio if you experience irritation.
