Winters not only bring cough and cold, but also cause allergies. If you are tired of popping pills, try some home remedies, says Roshani Devi
There are some people who are allergic to food items like nuts, mushrooms and are lactose intolerant. However, many people who have never had any allergy in their life end up with rashes all over their bodies. Most doctors will tell you that allergies can be triggered due to anything; it can be a fruit you have consumed or could be a sandwich which one ate. For most of these allergies, one has to pop pills for a few days or in extreme cases, take anti-allergy injections. But there are a few home remedies that one can follow.
Baking soda is an excellent home medicine for skin allergy. It helps the skin rash to dry. It also relieves itchiness. 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 and then rinse it off.
There are many plants known for their antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-irritant properties. Hence making them an excellent agent when it comes to treating some of the skin allergies. Aloe vera leaf is a good option.
Then there is tulsi. Boil half a cup of these leaves till the water is reduced to half. Allow it to cool and then dip a clean cloth and apply it on the itchy skin.
