Treating prickly heat with natural Herbal methods

Prickly heat is not a serious condition and rarely requires any specific treatment. The rash usually disappears after a few days.
However, there are several things you can do to ease your symptoms:

Herbal lotion - Apply natural vinegar diluted in 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water, if the rash of the prickly heat is mild and there are no pustules or no pus filled blisters.

But if the condition is severe with bacterial infection use the following lotion:

Take 25 grams of each of thyme leaves, senna leaves, and myrrh. Boil these herbs in a half kilogram of vinegar for 15 minutes, cool it down and then strain the mixture. Apply this lotion on the affected sites at night. Once the rash is gone stop this lotion.You will get did of this embarrassing condition. Also do the following precautions. These steps will keep you safe from getting prickly heat.

Avoid excessive heat and humidity – if you need to go outside, spend time in the shade or take a small fan with you. Further exposure to the heat will cause you to sweat more and may make your rash worse. Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration, especially in hot weather.

Wear loose cotton clothing – avoid wearing synthetic fibres, such as polyester and nylon, which trap heat easier than natural fibres.

Keep your skin cool – a cool bath or shower will cool you down, soothe your skin and help prevent further sweating. Staying in an air-conditioned room for a few hours a day will also provide considerable relief. You can also use a cold compress, but don't leave it on the skin for longer than 20 minutes.
