Chicken pox is a very contagious disease that usually affects children. However, when it affects adults, then it is usually very severe. Chicken pox is a disease which spreads through direct contact.
It can also spread when we breathe in the air from an infected person. When one suffers from chicken pox, one complains of a fever, headache, weakness and also loss of appetite. The person also notices small boils all over the body.
Usually these boils can be found on the trunk region. Sometimes these can also affect the face and in extreme cases even the eyes. These boils can cause extreme itching and irritation. Sandalwood oil is one of the most effective ways of treating chicken pox. You should ensure that you apply the sandalwood oil on the body from the minute you recognize the symptoms of the disease and have been diagnosed. This helps protect your skin, by ensuring that no ugly and unsightly scars or blemishes are left behind as souvenirs of the chicken pox. Another very effective remedy for the removal of scars is the regular application of Aloe Vera gel.
You can treat chicken pox by adding some brown vinegar to the bath water. When a person suffering from chicken pox bathes in this, he finds that the irritation is reduced. You can also add some marigold flowers and some hazel leaves to a cup of water. These should be allowed to steep overnight. In the morning they can be ground to a paste. This paste, when applied to the rash can help reduce the itching. You can also use the water in which green peas have been boiled to reduce the itching. An application of a thin layer of honey on the boils can not only help reduce the irritation but will also help you heal the rash. Oatmeal is another very effective way of ensuring that the disease leaves you without any scars. You can grind oatmeal finely and add this to your bath water. You can also use Vitamin E oil on your rashes since regular application prevents itching and also speeds up the process of removing the scars quickly. You will find that drinking a tea that contains chamomile, basil, honey, cinnamon and lemon several times, is very beneficial. You can make a soup of carrots and coriander and drink this at least once a day when suffering from chicken pox.
