By Margaret Taylor


Scratching may provide relief but it can make matters worse. You may potentially break your skin, leading to bacterial activity. When that happens, an infection is likely to take place. Especially if you are prone to itching due to insect bites, dry weather, and the use of skincare and household cleaning products with irritating chemicals, keep on reading. Below are various natural anti itch cream recipes that you may try.

Baking soda combined with water. A commonly used ingredient especially by bakers, baking soda can be used to deal with skin itchiness. You can turn it into a paste by adding just a few drops of water to it. Apply the resulting white paste where it matters, letting it dry there. For superb results, apply several times throughout the day.

Oatmeal combined with water. Another easy to make solution for itchy spots is the combination of oatmeal and water. Better paste can be achieved if oatmeal is first pulverized with a coffee or spice grinder. For issues concerning large areas of the body, a cup of pulverized oatmeal may be dissolved in a bathtub filled with cool water.

Aloe vera combined with clay. If there are some aloe vera plants in the backyard, then itching should not give you a headache. All you have to do is obtain 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel. Combine that with the same amount of clay. The cream obtained can be used for immediate relief. You may also go for aloe vera gel in a pump bottle or tube, although you need to see to it that it's 100 percent pure.

Fresh basil with some olive oil. Basil is not only good at making different Italian dishes smell and taste unforgettable, but also relieving skin itchiness. Pound a few freshly harvested basil leaves. Add a couple of drops of olive oil to the mush. Mix very well, generously apply, and then allow it to remain there for up to half an hour. Wash it off with water thoroughly after.

Garlic with olive oil. Another cooking ingredient that you may combine with olive oil to fend off scratching is garlic. Saute 2 to 3 minced garlic cloves in half a cup of olive oil. Allow to infuse overnight. The following day, apply as necessary.

Peppermint oil and carrier oil. An ingredient found in many commercially available remedies for skin itchiness is peppermint essential oil. If you have a bottle of it, you may add a couple of drops of it to your preferred carrier oil. Mix and then apply on itchy areas with the help of a cotton swab. Wash it off with water after about 30 minutes.

Microwaved organic honey. Aside from being an alternative to refined sugar, honey is also oftentimes employed for dealing with skin itching due to many different causes. If you want an all natural remedy for itchiness, have a small bottle of organic honey within your reach. You may warm it up in your microwave for just a few seconds for better results. To prevent complications, double check that it's not blistering hot before application.
