Oatmeal bath for hives
You know the brand that’s famous for its oat-based products. Now you can make your own.
Ingredients:
• 1 handful of rolled oats
• 1/2 handful dry powdered milk
• 1/2 handful chamomile
• 1/4 handful calendula and/or lavender
• Double-ply square of cheesecloth
Directions:
1. Place the oats, milk, chamomile, and calendula or lavender on the cheesecloth square. Tie the ends together to make a bag.
2. Run a warm (not hot) bath. Put the bag under the spout while the water is running. Leave it in the bath and allow the water to cool. (If the water is too hot, it will make the hives worse.)
3. Get into the tub and soak, squeezing the bag over your skin to reduce itching.
