10 Home Remedies For Shingles
Home Remedy #2: Oatmeal Bath
Another way to help reduce the symptoms of shingles is to take an oatmeal bath. Colloidal oatmeal—a specific form of oatmeal that’s used for medicinal purposes such as this—can be great for helping to minimize the pain and discomfort of shingles.
Add a couple cups of colloidal oatmeal into warm water, making sure that the water isn’t hot. Hot water can aggravate the condition. If you can’t get colloidal oatmeal, cornstarch can work just as well. Soak in the bath for between 15 and 30 minutes.
