22 Home Remedies For Prickly Heat by pragmatistm(m): 4:56pm On Jan 03, 2014
Home Remedies for
Prickly Heat
1. Oatmeal bath is one of the very
effective home remedies for prickly heat.
Add some oatmeal powder in to your
bath water.
2. The common treatment for prickly
heat is to apply non-perfumed talcum
powder or the specially made prickly
heat powder for four to five times a
day.
3. Take some neem (dongoyaro) leaves
and make a paste by grinding with
water. Apply this on sweat rashes. Neem
has antibacterial properties and can
heal the infectious blisters of advanced
rash.
4. Apply aloe Vera gel on prickly heat to
get relief from itching as well as to heal
them. It contains excellent healing
properties and will provide a cooling
effect
5. Prepare a cooling compress for your
itchy and dreadful prickly heat. Dilute 1
tsp of baking soda into 1 cup of cold
water. Soak a clean washcloth into the
solution and squeeze it out to remove
excess water. Apply the cloth to the
rashes. While the water will reduce
inflammation, the baking soda will work
towards easing itching and
irritation. Repeat 4 to 5 times a day for
best results.
6. Prepare a smooth paste by mixing
cornstarch or flour with water. Smudge
the paste over the affected areas and
allow it to dry for about ½ hour.
Thereafter, go for a cold water bath and
wash off the paste.
7. Rub an ice cube on heat rashes to get
quick relief from the burning sensation.
You can also use cold compress or ice
pack.
8.Take two tablespoons each of
coriander powder and sandalwood
powder. Add enough rose water to
make a thick paste out of it. Apply the
paste on your prickly heat rashes and
let it dry. When dry, wash it off with cold
water.
9. Dust your body with baking soda or
sandalwood powder. Their cooling
effect heals up the heat rashes fast.
10. Gooseberry: Take an earthen vessel
and fill with water, then put some
gooseberries cut in pieces in the pot
and cover it. Leave as it is for the whole
night. On the next day, mash up the
berries in the pot, then filter the water,
add sugar or honey and drink. It
removes heat from the body and
helps for digestive system.
11. Take henna powder and make a
thick paste with cold water. Apply this to
cool off the pricking heat rashes.
However, this might leave the area
reddened due to the coloring effect of
henna. You can apply this
home remedy for the prickly heat rashes
that would get covered with clothing.
12. Prickly heat needs to be cured
internally too. That is why I advise you
to drink lime juice at least three glasses
per day. .
13. Take about five tablespoons of
Fuller’s earth and add rosewater to
make a paste. Apply this paste on prickly
heat. Wash with cold water when it
dries off.
14. Banyan tree barks also help in
treating prickly heat effectively. Take dry
barks of the banyan tree and grind them
into a fine powder. Apply this!fuln fdr
powder on affected areas for quick
relief from prickly heat.
15. Apply watermelon pulp on the
prickly heat to heal them.
16. Crush some leaves of Indian plum
(jamun) and add baking soda to it.
Apply this to your prickly heat for
instant relief.
17. Take some neem oil and add
camphor extract to this. Massage the
body parts with sweat rashes with this
oil. Let it be there for about half an
hour. Take bath with cool water.
18. Mix gramflour with water to make a
diluted paste. Apply this to your body
where you have prickly heat. Let it dry
for about an hour. Have shower with
cool water.
19. Put one camphor tablet in a small
bottle of coconut oil. Leave it overnight
for the camphor to melt in the oil. Apply
this oil n regular intervals on the rashes.
This heals the rashes quick.
20. Honey is a great source for speeding
up the healing process. Apply it over
effected area.
21. Cucumbers are another source of
water for body and coolness. Directly
apply to affected skin, or eat it.
22. Mint tea will lower body
temperature and speed up healing of
prickly heat.
