Hi lybrate-user, you seem to be suffering from some acute allergic reactions. Here Are Some Natural Ways To Get Quick Relief From Itchy Skin Allergies: 1. Cold Bath Or Cold Compress - Unless your skin allergy is triggered by cold (surprising, but unfortunately, sometimes true!), a cold shower could be just what you need. During an allergic reaction, a chemical called histamine is released from our immune cells. It seeps out of the blood vessels and enters the tissue beneath the skin. This then directs an allergic reaction. A cold shower shrinks your blood vessels and doesn?t allow the histamine to come out of the blood vessels. This reduces the severity of the allergic reaction. A cold shower also helps reduce skin irritation. 2. Olive Oil: Extra virgin olive oil is truly a blessing from the Gods! Not only is it great as salad dressing, it also doubles up as a great moisturizer. It is rich in vitamin E that is vital for good skin health. It?s also loaded with powerful antioxidants. These help to heal and repair the skin after it has suffered allergic damage. It also reduces itching. Apply generous amounts of olive oil over the affected part. You can also use it over the whole body after the cold shower. This could help you far better than chemical-laden moisturizers. 3. Baking Soda: The humble kitchen soda bi-carb is an excellent home medicine for skin allergy. Baking soda helps the skin rash dry out. It also relieves itching and prevents further inflammation of skin. Make a paste by mixing half a teaspoon of baking soda in some water. Apply on the affected area and leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. Do not leave it on for longer as baking soda itself could cause more irritation. 4. Medicinal Plants And Herbs (Aloe Vera, Neem, Basil, Calendula, Coriander) - Many plants are known for their their antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-irritant properties, making them excellent choices to deal with allergies. You can buy good quality calendula oil and apply it for a few hours on the affected area. The fleshy, gel-like portion from a fresh aloe vera leaf could also be used as a soothing salve. To use neem, basil and coriander leaves, you can make a paste by grinding these together and then applying it on the affected part. Leave the paste on for an hour or so and then rinse it with plain water. Do not use soap or cleansers. 5. Apple Cider Vinegar - ACV has many health benefits, one of them being its ability to reduce the severity of acid reflux. It also has antiseptic and anti-irritant properties. If you apply it over the skin, it can soothe, moisturize and reduce itching. Put a few drops of ACV (use the raw, organic, unfiltered variety) on a cotton ball and dab it all over the affected area. You can rinse the skin after a few minutes. Do this at least twice a day for good results. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
