Stop That Itch…..Naturally (2)

Besides anti-histamines, you’ll want to stay away from the steroid-based ointments and creams unless they are absolutely necessary, for example, to avoid infections.  Generally, doctors will tell you that 1-2% hydrocortisone creams are quite harmless unless used for an extended period of time. However, these system-suppressing steroids do have side-effects. Also, once you start using hydrocortisone medication on a regular basis, it becomes very hard to stop since the rash generally comes back with a vengeance requiring stronger dosage, etc.

I just know I can’t let my son be dependent on medications.   How else to stop that crazy itch?  I have done some research and reading up and found some natural itch busters which we can use for even young children.  Here’s a list of natural methods you can try.  These methods are from my own research and observation.  I have tried some of them with success.  Please keep in mind that there is no one method which is right for everyone.  Each individual is different.  Our body response is different.  A method can be effective for one but cause a reaction for another.  Do do try with small amounts and observe if there is any reaction.  Keep trying and you will find one which works.  Some achieve better results when combine several methods.

Stay tune for my next few posts on natural itch busters.
