Honey is a natural sweet substance produced by honey bees. It cleanses and heals wounds.Topical application of honey has proved valuable in chicken pox.

  • The skin should be applied with honey and covered with sterile, white cloth. It helps in healing of the disease within 3 days.

 

  • A tbsp of honey with a tsp of vit. E oil and ½ cup of aloe vera juice and essential oils like chamomile, lavender and bergamot (each around 15 drops) also reduces scratching in chicken pox.
