Natural Pain Remedies for Heat Rash

Running around your village or the park usually makes you feel up and pumping, but today, why do you feel an itch and prick on your skin? You look at it, and you see tiny bumps and patches of bright red too. You are puzzled as you usually bask in the sun, not seek relief from it. What you have is likely a heat rash, which is also known as prickly heat.

Heat rash usually occurs when your sweat gets stuck in your skin instead of naturally flowing out from your pores. It often happens when the weather is not only hot but also humid. But not to worry, as you can easily get relief from that pain and itch. Simply follow the methods below:

• Baking soda. Yes, this is not only for baking but also for that heat rash. And to those of you who are already familiar with baking soda as a household remedy, no, you are not going to apply this directly to your skin. What you will be doing is “soak away” that heat rash by submerging the affected area to a mixture of one cup of baking soda and lukewarm water. Do this for half an hour to an hour. So, soak your way to relief!
• Foods rich in essential fatty acids. This method helps speed up the healing and sends you on your way to permanent relief. Just make salmon, herring, mackerel and other cold water fish, as well as cark green leafy vegetables like spinach a staple in your diet and you might as well kiss that heat rash goodbye. Flaxseed oil, which can be found in most health food stores, is also a good source of essential fatty acids. You can add this to your salad or simply take a teaspoon of this healthy oil.
• Homeopathy. Now, this is more for prevention than relief and cure. But this will help protect your skin during hot and humid weather conditions. Just take a 30 dose of Sol thrice a day everyday for three weeks. In case you still get a heat rash, take a 30C dose of Apis one the itch and prickling starts. You can get these homeopathic remedies in health food stores.

Getting relief from a heat rash need not be difficult. So, fight that rash with these easy and natural pain remedies for heat rash.
