Oatmeal Bath

Oatmeal has antiviral properties that may help reduce the severity of chickenpox symptoms, particularly when it comes to the intense itchiness associated with the iconic chickenpox rash. It has been used for many years to relieve pain and itching associated with various skin conditions, and it may even help alleviate scarring. To take a bath with oatmeal, grind two cups of oatmeal into a fine powder by using a blender or a food processor. Alternatively, preground oatmeal can be found at some health food stores or bulk food stores. Add the oatmeal mixture directly to a tub of hot water and soak for fifteen minutes to relieve itching. Adding a few drops of lavender, clove, or tea tree essential oil may also help kill the germs.
