Deanna (Cincinnati, OH) on 02/25/2007:
I have chronic itching. I have tried the "very expensive" prescription that my MD gave me, but my mother told me to try: 1 part tea tree oil, 2 parts olive oil and dried oregano.
I spray it on and not only does it calm the burning and itching but it moisturizes my skin. I haven't had to use my expensive skin cream or take Benedryl in a long time.
