5 Natural Ways To Treat Mosquito Bites
For many people dealing with mosquito bites is a frustrating affair and many don’t know what to do when they get one. Lucky for you we have 5 natural ways to treat mosquito bites to help reduce the itch and help them heal faster. These unusual treatments include oatmeal, crushed ice, honey, baking soda and chamomile tea! These in-home remedies can prevent a run to the drug store to get an anti-itch cream
How do these everyday items help treat mosquito bites? Oatmeal is not only a breakfast food! Simply make a paste by mixing equal parts oatmeal and water. Once you have created the paste spoon it onto a washcloth and hold it with the paste touching your skin for 10 minutes. This simple breakfast food can help reduce the itch of the bite.
Who doesn’t have crushed ice during the summer months. If you are out and about camping away from home use crushed ice to treat the bit. By applying the ice to the skin, it can help reduce inflammation and the numbing from the cold can reduce the itch too. This is only short-term relief, but can make all the difference when you need it. Make sure not to apply the ice for longer than 5 minutes in direct contact with the skin.
Honey is not only great to put in tea or to be used as a natural allergy medication, it can also reduce inflammation. Applying a small drop of honey to the bite will help reduce the swelling. Baking soda is another great remedy. Mix some baking soda with a small amount of water to make a paste. Then apply to the bite and let it sit for 10 minutes. This helps provide relieve from the constant itch.
Finally, chamomile tea is a great treatment. Like honey it helps make a great summer beverage that doubles as a way to reduce inflammation, itch, and speeds up the healing process. Steep the bag in water in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Drain the tea bag and then apply it to the bite and let it sit for 10 minutes. You can save the tea bag in the refrigerator to be applied later.
