    Coconut oil is wonderfully soothing for itchy skin – a couple of days and rashes subside in many cases but use it reguarly. Take a spoonful to reduce itchy throats. I also notice it is increasing in price.

  2. I highly recommend Apple Pectin. I have had Atopic Dermatitis (a kind of eczema that is difficult to cure) since I was a baby, and I tried many things that are supposed to be good. Those things did help improve the skin but Apple Pectin does quite wonderfully in reducing the itch more than anything else by reducing the production of histamine. I used to scratch everyday for DECADES but now I just don't feel the itch so much any more. Consequently, my skin is getting better rapidly. Apple Pectin has many other good benefits also, so if you have a stuborn skin problem with uncontrolable itch that drives you crazy, try it. I wish I knew about it decades ago…

  3. Scabies is a horrible malady (skin mites) that causes intense itching and is often misdiagnosed. Scabies is normally treated using a form of pyrethrum based ointment called scabicides, permethrin, that are only available by prescription. The ointment is extremely toxic and people are told they should only use it once every two weeks. A natural approach that works, is to make sure all bedding and clothing are washed daily with borax added and dried thoroughly. Pillows should be dried on high heat for at least 30 minutes, daily. The bed and cloth furniture needs to be sanitized (steamed or sprinkled with borax) or covered for three weeks with an allergen cover. To kill the eggs under the skin, tea tree oil and neem oil mixed with 1/3 olive oil or coconut oil, applied to the rash works and is not toxic. You should also treat your head.

  4. Do take note that there are many causes of itching. Be sure you know what the itch is and what's triggering it first before applying any remedies.

  5. I just feel itchy when I am exposed to dust. Sneezing is not a problem but itchy skin is. Witch hazel seems like a good solution for itchy skin.

  6. Hello there! I could have sworn I’ve been to this website before but after reading through some of the post I realized it’s new to me.
    Anyways, I’m definitely glad I found it and I’ll
    be book-marking and checking back frequently!

  7. For jock itch, wash, dry & dust with baby talcum!!! Easy.

  8. Try a drop or two of lavender oil in a small spray bottle of filtered water for bugs of any kind that you may run into outside! Also a great freshener for skin and clothes. Wonderful smell!
