Home Remedies for Chickenpox

1. Baking Soda

Baking soda can help control the itchiness and irritation from chickenpox.

• Stir one-half tablespoon of baking soda in a glass of water. Use a soft washcloth to put the solution on the affected parts of the body and allow it to dry.
• Another option is to mix one-half or one cup of baking soda in your bath water and soak in it.

2. Indian Lilac

• Indian lilac, also known as margosa or neem is useful in the treatment of chicken pox as it has antiviral properties. Furthermore, it helps dry out the blisters and relieves itching to a great extent.

Take a handful of neem leaves, crush them and apply the paste on the affected areas. Adding neem leaves in bath water is also beneficial.
