OATMEAL RELIEVES ITCHY SKIN: Oatmeal's avenanthramides block the release of inflammatory compounds, dramatically reducing itchiness. In a blender, grind 2 cups of uncooked oatmeal into a coarse powder. Add 1/4 cup baking soda, mix and store in a jar. Add 1 cup to a warm bath to soothe sunburned skin or mix a handful with water until thick and then apply the paste to relieve poison ivy. | Prevention
