Instructions:
1. Basil (Tulsi):
Splash your skin with refreshing basil infused water. Like cloves, basil too contains high quantity of eugenol, a topical anesthetic. Place 1/2 cup dried basil leaves in a jar of boiling water. Keep it covered and let it simmer till the quantity is reduced to half. Allow it to cool and then dip a clean cloth and apply it on your itchy skin regularly.
2. Mint:
Mint contains significant amounts of menthol that has anesthetic and anti-inflammatory properties when applied topically. It also contains high amounts of the anti-inflammatory rosmarinic acid that works marvelously on allergies. To make a mint reduction, place 1 cup dried mint leaves in a jar of boiling water. Cover and allow it to cool. Strain, dip a clean cloth in it, and apply to the itchy area when you are in the middle of an irritating itchy spell.
3. Aloe Vera:
Aloe vera is usually used for burns, but how about using it for itches? The components that reduce inflammation and blistering in burns, work to reduce itching too. Break a leaf of aloe vera, slice it down in the middle, and rub the gel only on the itchy area to get relief.
