How to Stop Itching??

5 Natural Remedies for Itchy Skin:



1. Oatmeal
Oatmeal contains compounds called avenanthramides that reduce inflammation. It’s also commonly used for poison ivy and eczema. You can add oatmeal to your bath, or make a poultice.


How to use it: 
To make an oatmeal poultice, add a bit of water to a cup or bowl of plain, organic, uncooked oatmeal then let it sit for a few minutes until it reaches a paste-like consistency. Apply the paste to the itchy area as needed.

2. Aloe Vera:
Aloe is probably best-known for its ability to heal sunburns, but it’s extremely versatile as it soothes the skin and relieves swelling and irritation,
How to use it: 
Break off a leaf from the plant, and cut it open lengthwise from top to bottom with a knife. Scoop out the gooey gel inside, and rub it directly onto irritated skin.

3. Fresh Basil Leaves
Basil leaves contains anti-itch compounds called camphor and thymol. This is my personal go-to trick for bug bites, as it’s so quick and easy. Plus, rubbing the leaf onto the skin satisfies the compulsive urge to scratch.
How to use it: 
Crush up the leaves and rub directly onto the skin.

4. Peppermint Leaves
Peppermint is great for bug bites and itching, as it provides a cooling sensation that’ll give you welcome relief.
How to use it:
 The quickest, easiest way is to crush up the leaves and rub the peppermint directly onto the skin.

5. Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar is an effective antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent that relieves itching, especially itching associated with dry skin (for example: sunburns and dandruff). It’s also popularly used for pets with dry, itchy skin as well, by adding a few cupfuls to their bath water.
How to use it:
 Just put a few drops of it onto a cotton ball or washcloth and dab it on to the affected area. Use raw, organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar
