An allergy, which is excessive sensitivity, is a state whereby the body’s immune system overreacts to a specific substance or texture. This sensitivity can be to a wide variety of materials including dust, animals or even certain foods. Some allergies can show themselves by sneezing or itching while others can be extremely serious and even fatal.

Home remedies for Allergies

• Mush up an avocado with a fork and spread it on your rash.
• For itchy rashes, fill a bathtub with water and add three heaped tablespoons of potato powder for every 20 liters of water.
• Immediately remove the earrings and wash your earlobe with hydrogen peroxide. Rubbing Calendula/Marigold paste on the inflamed areas three times a day is also a great way to tone down the swelling.
• Once the infection has cleared up, it is highly advisable to wear earrings that are made only from pure gold or silver. To further prevent infection, you can coat your earrings with a clear nail polish to protect your ear.
• Put a cucumber in a blender to make a cucumber puree. Apply this directly on your rashes for instant relief.
• Combine two parts of agrimony, chamomile, and one part of stinging nettle in water. Let it boil for an hour and drink this three times a day to ease the intense itching.
• Get aloe vera and rub the leave on your allergies to ease the swelling.
• Apply olive oil to your rashes whenever you need it. It can instantly cure any blisters and can relieve you from constant itch.
