Herbal Remedies for Skin Allergies

Filed in archive Allergy Medications , Skin Allergies on June 8, 2007

I've come across an article on some herbal remedies for skin allergies and I thought I'd post it here to share it with you:

• Make a paste from sandalwood and limejuice, apply this paste on the affected area it will provide relief from itching.


• Application of mashed almond leaves to the affected area is beneficial.


• Make a paste from five to six grams of garden mint in water. Sieve the water now add 12-15 grams of sugar, drink this syrup twice a day for immediate relief.


• Application of mashed papaya seeds on the area reduce itching.


• Application of lemon juice mixed with coconut oil is very beneficial.


• Intake of vitamin C reduce the chance of allergies. 1000mg of the vitamin is advisable.


• Drink a glass of water with two tablespoons of cider vinegar for skin allergy treatment.


• Smoking and heavy alcohol consumption should not be taken.


• Grind 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds with 1-teaspoon water and add 1-teaspoon of limejuice. Apply it to affected area for relief from itching and redness.

To tell the truth, I'm a bit skeptic on the efficacy of these. They could be helpful in providing relief from itchiness, rashes and other allergy symptoms resulting after a reaction, but I doubt they'll have any effect on preventing or controlling a break out.
