Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and early Byzantine medical pharmaceutical works show a fairly sophisticated array of simple and compound remedies for burns and scalds. Chief among ancient writings that provide specific botany, minerals, and similar substances used in burn treatment are several Egyptian papyri, the Hippocratic On Wounds, and writings by Celsus, Dioscorides, Pliny the Elder, and Paul of Aegina. Over 70 plants and minerals are identified according to modern nomenclatures. The ancients sought especially those ingredients that would promote rapid healing with a minimum of scarring.
埃及、希腊、罗马以及早期拜占庭时期的医学药学著作展示了一系列相当复杂的用于烧伤和烫伤的简单及复合疗法。在提供用于烧伤治疗的特定植物、矿物质及类似物质的古代文献中，主要有几部埃及纸莎草文书、希波克拉底的《论伤口》以及塞尔苏斯、狄奥斯科里季斯、老普林尼和埃伊纳岛的保罗所著的作品。根据现代命名法，已识别出70多种植物和矿物质。古人尤其寻找那些能以最少疤痕促进快速愈合的成分。
