Some people think that taking a variety of medications for itch relief is all that’s needed for alleviating the condition, but that is not true. Just as there are effective alternatives to over-the-counter medications, there are also alternatives to prescribed medications that are just as effective.

Take Home Remedies For Itch Relief: As with any form of medication, medications like naproxen and steroids will have side effects and be ineffective in providing the same degree of itch relief if used in conjunction with other treatments for itching (pruritus). Naproxen and cortisone do little or no good to relieve the symptoms of insect bites; the best course of action is to apply warm, dry compresses to the area. These two medications are often taken with other medications to help curb symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn.

Also, most people tend to take prescribed medications more than necessary and they may not be able to pinpoint exactly what is causing the allergy. Taking too much of a medication can actually make it less effective.

In order to address the situation, one should never take such drastic measures as throwing away their prescription medication. One should only supplement their prescriptions with natural remedies that address the root cause of the condition, which will eventually make the symptoms disappear. These herbal remedies tend to include things like milk thistle, oregano oil, vitamin E and other herbs that improve blood circulation.

Ayurvedic Herbal Treatment: Itchy and painful blisters (pyoderma) are common among patients who have developed “tinea invitro” (pinworm) infections. These blisters can occur on the legs, scalp, buttocks, elbows, knees, feet and ankles. To address this condition, the affected area should be cleansed thoroughly.

Diaper Rash: There are three varieties of diaper rash: contagious, contagious otitis externa (denatured skin), and eczema. When a diaper is excessively wet and/or dirty, this can trigger the onset of a diaper rash. Such a rash should be treated by applying aloe vera gel, tea tree oil, watercress, or sheep sorrel extract.

Irritation of the Lips and Nails: Itching can cause irritation of the lips and nails, especially when one is stressed. People with chronic insomnia or sleep apnea tend to suffer from decreased pain sensitivity, thereby increasing the risk of experiencing adverse reactions to prescribed or over-the-counter medications for itching (pruritus).

Take Home Remedies For Itch Relief: Some of the most commonly used ingredients in natural products for addressing the condition include soybean oil, camphor, cinnamon, and honey. These can be found in moisturizers, bath salts, soaps, lotions, creams, and lotions that are herbal, and that combine a small percentage of each ingredient.

Itching while Praying: A rash on the chest, back, or side can result from repeated exposure to the sun. This type of rash can be treated with the use of tea tree oil, witch hazel, cinnamon, or other herbs and oils that are non-irritating.

To promote healing of the affected area, a cotton ball soaked in alcohol can be placed into the affected area at least twice a day. Heat or cold can also be applied to the affected area; however, these treatments can be too strong. For best results, it is advisable to use these natural remedies under the guidance of a medical professional and without the use of a heating pad.
