Itchy skin can be uncomfortable and annoying, but plenty of natural remedies can help relieve symptoms. 

Before turning to over-the-counter or prescription treatments, consider trying some of the following natural remedies for itchy skin first:

Common Natural Remedies

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has been used for centuries for its soothing and healing properties. The gel from the aloe vera plant can help cool and calm the skin, making it a notable option for itchy skin. Simply apply the gel to the affected area and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that can help to soothe and hydrate dry, itchy skin. It's also anti-inflammatory and can help to reduce redness and swelling. Apply a small amount of coconut oil to the affected area and massage gently until fully absorbed.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal can help alleviate itchy skin by reducing inflammation and irritation. Add a cup of oatmeal to a warm bath and soak for 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, you can make an oatmeal paste by blending oatmeal and water and applying it to the affected area.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve itchy skin. Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water and apply the solution to the affected area with a cotton ball. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off.

Witch Hazel

Witch hazel is a natural astringent that can help to reduce inflammation and soothe itchy skin. Apply witch hazel to a cotton ball to the affected area. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off.

Other Natural Remedies

Lifestyle Changes to Prevent Itchy Skin

In addition to using natural remedies, you can make lifestyle changes to prevent itchy skin. Avoid using harsh soaps and detergents, wear comfortable clothing, manage your stress levels, stay hydrated, and eat a healthy diet.

Baking Soda

Baking soda can help reduce itching and irritation by balancing the skin’s pH. Mix baking soda with water to form a paste and apply it to the affected area. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing off.

Chamomile

Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties that can help to soothe itchy skin. Brew a cup of chamomile tea and let it cool. Apply the tea to the affected area with a cotton ball or spray bottle.

Calendula

Calendula is a natural anti-inflammatory that can help reduce itching and irritation. Apply calendula cream or ointment to the affected area and massage gently until fully absorbed.
