Add Baking Soda to Bath Water
Baking soda is known for being very versatile. It has been used in cooking, baking, cleaning, removing foul odor, and strengthening teeth. Baking soda also has some impressive medical benefits. Many testimonies prove that baking soda is effective against acid reflux, indigestion, and muscle fatigue. To top it all, it is commonly found in the kitchen or pantry, making it a great first aid or remedy.
In 2018, a group of researchers conducted a study on animals to prove baking soda’s effectiveness against heat rash. The impressive results show that 85 percent of the samples showed less irritation and inflammation after applying baking soda. However, its efficacy against heat rash is only limited to rashes caused by inflammation.
It is easy to use baking soda as a home remedy for heat rash. Fill a tub with lukewarm water and add three to five tablespoons of baking soda. Immediate relief will be felt after a few minutes of soaking in the bath. Stay in the tub for 20 to 30 minutes, then dry the skin with a clean cloth. If the patient has sensitive skin, moisturize with mild lotion.
