subject: Post Scabies Remedies [print this page] There are different kinds of natural medications available for scabies, which you may perhaps not be aware of. We have listed these remedies below. However, it is imperative to approach a medical practitioner as soon as you notice the symptoms of scabies.
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a gel-like material cut from the Aloe plant, which is commonly used to treat sunburns and skin burns. In addition, Aloe Vera is also highly effective in healing skin irritations and wounds, including itchy skin rash. The plant possesses anti bacterial, anti fungal and anti inflammatory properties. Scabies medication can dry your skin to a great extent and hence Aloe Vera could be used since it contains zinc, folic acid and essential vitamins. It is best to use Aloe Vera in a gel form. This gel could be applied directly on the affected areas. Keep in mind that Aloe Vera itself is not a scabies treatment.
Chamomile Essential Oil
Chamomile Essential Oil is known for its anti-microbial properties which would soothe your skin and eliminate irritations. Since ancient times, chamomile has been used to treat psoriasis, eczema and sunburn. However, you need to be aware since people allergic to rag weed or grass may perhaps develop allergic reactions to chamomile. Once again Chamomile is not a scabies treatment.
Calendula Essential Oil
Calendula is extensively used to treat diaper rash and reduce inflammation. Calendula stimulates the creation of white blood cells and destroys damaging microbes. You could use the herb by mixing it with hot boiling water. You can apply the mixture on affected parts directly, so as to gain instant relief. This would also work towards improving the natural immunity of skin.
