How do you cure a skin allergy?!


Question:

How do you cure a skin allergy?


Answers:

Stay indoors with the windows closed when pollen counts are high. Use an air-conditioner even in the car and clean the filter regularly.

Eliminate carpets and use furniture slipcovers that can be washed. Encase mattresses and pillows in allergy-proof covers and wash bedding weekly in very hot water. Dust mites collect in these areas.

Clean damp areas to prevent the growth of mold.

Certain herbs are natural antihistamines.
Try sipping teas made from anise, ginger, or peppermint singly or in combination.
Ginger and peppermint also have a decongestant effect. Drink up to four cups a day as needed to reduce symptoms.

Wash bedding in very hot water (130�F) to kill the dust mites that accumulate and trigger allergic reactions or add eucalyptus oil to a warm-water wash. Mix 2 ounces oil with 1 ounce liquid dishwashing detergent (otherwise the oil will separate from the water). In the washer presoak the bedding in this mixture for half an hour; then put in your usual laundry detergent and run the laundry cycle as you normally do.
