Natural Remedies for Itchy and Irritated Skin

These remedies don’t only work for bug bites. Many of 
these methods I’m about to list below can be used to 
ameliorate a variety of skin complaints: rashes, 
poison ivy, eczema and other itch-inducing skin 
problems.

Aloe Vera

We love aloe vera for just about every kind of skin 
irritation. 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. If you live in Southern California, 
there’s probably an 85% chance it’s already growing in 
your yard.
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. If you have extra left 
over, you can keep it refrigerated in an airtight 
container for up to a week.

 Apple Cider Vinegar
This isn’t the first time I’ve sung the praises of the 
uber-versatile ACV, and I suspect it won’t be the 
last. 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 
(Bragg’s is a good brand) with the “mother,” a 
strand-like sediment floating at the bottom of the 
bottle that contains raw enzymes and beneficial 
bacteria.

Home Remedies For itchy Eyes

                
An itchy eye is a very common problem. The problem worsens in a high-polluted environment or during allergy season.

As the name suggests, itchy eyes means an unpleasant itchy sensation in and around the eyes. The problem can be recurring for those who frequently touch or rub their eyes.

For instant relief, you can try some easy-to-follow natural treatments. Many of these remedies use readily available ingredients from your kitchen.

However, in case the problem is severe or caused by an underlying condition then do consult your eye care professional. Health experts suggest finding out the cause of itchy eyes before looking for the solution.

Cold Compress

Applying cold compresses around the affected eye area can help you to get instant relief. The simplest way to do this is to soak a cloth in ice cold water and place it over your eyes. Do this several times a day.

Chamomile tea bags used as cold compresses can also help relieve itching eyes.

1. Put used chamomile tea bags in the refrigerator for half an hour.
2. Place the chilled tea bags over the affected eye(s) for at least 10 minutes.
3. Do this three to four times a day for fast recovery.

Cucumber

Cucumbers have anti-irritation properties that help in reducing inflammation, puffiness, swelling and irritation contributing to itchy eyes.

1. Thoroughly wash a cucumber and cut it into thin slices. Refrigerate the slices for 15 to 20 minutes, and then put them over your eyes for at least 10 minutes.
2. Repeat the process four to five times a day.

Cold Milk

Milk is also one of the popular home remedies for itchy eyes.

1. Dab a cotton ball in cold milk and rub it around the eyes. You can also place a cotton ball soaked in milk on the eyes as a compress for an instant cooling effect.
2. Do this twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
