Does anyone have a home remedy for hives? I've tried every allergy medicine known to man (benadryl cream, cortaid....including claritan, benadryl pills) and nothing helps. Oatmeal paste doesn't work either. I typically break out on my fingers and toes.

It is very important to know the cause of allergic reaction. Once you found out the triggering agent, it becomes very easy to fight the battle. By dabbing milk of magnesia on the lesions, provides some relief. As milk of magnesia is an alkaline solution it helps in removing the irritating itchy sensation. To stop the itching get 1/2 a tub filled with warm water, add 1/2 cup cornstarch and 1/2 cup baking soda. Soaking yourself at least once a day can make a lot of difference. Calming our nerves is one of the important things to do, as stress makes the matter worse. Drinking peppermint or passionflower tea is very good. You can also try chamomile, valerian and catnip which also soothe your nerves. Applying aloe vera gel or vitamin E oil to the affected area at least twice a day can benefit you a lot. Consume cayenne pepper capsules to help the healing procedure. You can also have vitamin C, vitamin E or zinc for quick relief. hope this helps

buy Pinetarsol and put it in a bath. That will relieve the itching. WHen you can't have a bath, use a paste of turmeric and water. It is an Indian (asian) remedy for the itch of chickenpox and may well work for other itches. Of course, sacrifice any clothes you are wearing as the yellow will stain them. But science has shown that turmeric has antibiotic properties and anti-itching properties.
