I had a really bad case of poison oak recently.
I had a lot of people telling me to use different
natural treatments. Let me first start by saying
I did use over the counter items. Some of these
I did try and it offers a little relief, to some it may
offer more but it is something you have to do
frequently during the day not just once.
Rubbing alcohol, pour onto a wash cloth and rub onto affected area
Witch hazel & salt, mix together to make a paste and rub into effected area
Baking soda and water, mix together to make a paste and rub into effected area
Oatmeal bath
Aloe vera gel
Oddly the last one is heat, hot bath or a hair dryer to the skin.
You are probably thinking what?
When mine was itching bad I took the hair dryer to it,
it burns and itches really bad but I would
get about an hour relief from the itching!
Good luck if you have it, if you have a bad reaction make
sure you go see a dr so you can get on a steroid.
