Burnt Cream by Devendra Ayurved Ashram

10 g: ₹50

Burnt Cream is a traditional Ayurvedic ointment in an oil-and-beeswax base, with camphor, Dugdh pashan and three classical lead preparations — Sindoor, Safeda kashgari and Murdasang — that were long used to dry and protect sores.

The pack lists it for burns, cuts, boils, pimples, wounds, cracked heels and other skin complaints. Because lead can pass through damaged skin, use it only on small, minor areas for a short time, and see a doctor for any real burn.

Used for

  • Small cuts & scrapes
  • Boils & pimples
  • Cracked heels
  • Minor skin irritation

How minor wounds heal

A small cut or blister heals in stages: bleeding stops, inflammation clears debris and germs, new tissue fills the gap and the skin closes over. Keeping it clean, moist and protected lets that happen fastest; infection and repeated rubbing slow it down.

Ayurveda calls a wound Vrana and treats it in two steps — cleansing (Shodhana) and healing (Ropana) — often with ointments that dry discharge and protect the surface.

A traditional ointment, used with care

  • Protective, Drying Film (traditional) — The lead oxides and carbonate were classical drying, astringent ointment ingredients; modern medicine no longer uses them because lead is toxic and absorbed through damaged skin.
  • Cooling & Soothing — Camphor acts on the skin's temperature receptors to soothe itching and stinging.
  • Emollient Base — The oil and beeswax base softens and seals the skin — useful for cracked heels.

Key ingredients

  • Kapoor (Camphor) — 5 mg. Applied to skin, camphor activates the warmth and cold receptors TRPV1 and TRPM8 and then desensitises them — a counter-irritant effect that eases muscle and joint pain and itching. Toxic if swallowed.
  • Sindoor (red lead) — 5 mg. Red lead oxide, used in traditional ointments to dry and heal ulcers and burns. Lead compounds are toxic and can be absorbed through damaged skin, which is why modern medicine no longer uses them.
  • Murdasang (litharge) — 5 mg. Litharge (lead monoxide), a traditional drying, astringent ingredient of ointments for ulcers, eczema and burns. Lead compounds are toxic and can be absorbed through damaged skin.
  • Safeda kashgari (white lead) — 5 mg. White lead (basic lead carbonate), once common in ointments for burns and rashes for its drying, soothing film. Lead compounds are toxic and can be absorbed through damaged skin.

Full ingredient list

  • Karpoor (camphor) — 5 mg
  • Murdasang (lead monoxide) — 5 mg
  • Sindoor (red lead oxide) — 5 mg
