A patient developed itchy skin all over his body after eating seafood, like hives, with large areas of redness and swelling, which was very uncomfortable. In view of this situation, I recommended that he use perilla leaves for treatment.

Perilla leaf is a common Chinese herbal medicine that can help resolve allergic reactions caused by eating seafood such as fish and crab. I recommend that patients use about one tael (about 30 grams) of dried perilla leaf at a time, boil it with 1,000cc of water, and then boil it for no more than ten minutes. The boiled perilla leaf water can be slowly consumed as a beverage.

After the patient drank the perilla leaf water according to this method, the itching symptoms on his skin disappeared in just one day without taking any western medicine. This confirms the traditional therapeutic effect of perilla leaf in effectively detoxifying seafood.

Perilla leaves can not only detoxify seafood, but also relieve skin itching caused by allergies. It is a simple and effective natural remedy. Patients with similar symptoms may wish to give it a try.

The multiple benefits of coconut oil: anti-itching, massage, natural skin care

In my clinical experience, coconut oil is one of the natural remedies I recommend most often.

● Anti-itching and non-greasy

Coconut oil is not only edible, but also has a significant therapeutic effect on itchy skin. Its uniqueness lies in that unlike general oils, coconut oil has excellent penetration and absorption effects, and it does not feel particularly greasy after application.

●Massage oil

Coconut oil is also excellent as a massage oil. Not only can it effectively relieve itching, but it can also provide an excellent massage effect when you are sore.
