Oatmeal

For centuries, colloidal oatmeal has been used to alleviate itchy skin and rashes. This ingredient contains gluten with moisturizing properties that can coat the skin when bathing. You can have oatmeal compresses and baths to heal some common types of rashes such as chicken pox, poison ivy, or heat rashes. You could buy colloidal oatmeal in most drug stores or grocery stores. Also, it is simple to make it at home by grinding oatmeal thoroughly in a food processor or coffee grinder. Mix it with water and soak your body in around 15 to 20 minutes to get the best results. [6]
