Easy Shingles Cure #1: Oatmeal Bath
The first Easy Shingles Cure I want to share with you is the Oatmeal Bath.
You may have heard of this one before, because it is pretty popular. The reason it’s so
popular is simply because it’s effective.
If you are going to follow any of these Easy ShinglesCures in a sequence, you will
definitely want to start out by having a bath.

An oatmeal bath is a safe, natural and effective way to soothe the itching, burning and pain
caused by Shingles. By dissolving colloidal oatmeal - which is rolled oats that have been
milled into a fine powder - into a bathtub full of luke-warm water, you will experience relief
from itching and burning for several hours. You can also use an ice pack on the blisters
afterwards for 20 minutes to relieve pain and to numb the rash.

Here Are The Instructions:
You’ll need a blender, food processor or coffee grinder and one cup of oatmeal.
You can use instant oatmeal (unflavored), quick oats or slow cooking oats - all work
equally as well. You can purchase these items at any local grocery store.
STEP 1: Blend or process the oats on the highest setting until you have a very fine,
consistent powder. To test the colloid property of the oatmeal, stir one tablespoon of the
ground oats into a glass of warm water. If the oats readily absorb the water and give it a
milky look and a silky feel, you’ve blended long enough.
STEP 2: Dissolve the oatmeal into cool to luke-warm water, taking time to ensure the
oatmeal clumps are broken up completely. The bath water should appear evenly milky
before you get into the tub.
STEP 3: Soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes, taking care to submerge as much of
your body as possible underneath the surface of the water. Avoid getting water in the
eyes, since the oatmeal will sting. And be careful getting in and out of the tub, since it
will be slippery.
STEP 4: Remove the entire oatmeal
residue from the skin before you
completely exit the tub by rinsing it
off. Any leftover oatmeal may dry out
your skin and increase itching.
STEP 5: Dry your body carefully by
dabbing away moisture with a thick,
absorbent towel. Avoid rubbing the
skin with the towel and irritating the
sores from Shingles, which may
cause bleeding and scarring.
STEP 6: You should use a bathing procedure like this at least 2-3 times per day (see
other bathing procedures in the Fast Shingles Cure e-book) to effectively treat the pain
and itching caused by Shingles.
STEP 7: Right after you get out of the bathtub, you will want to apply a lotion or ailment
to the skin before getting dressed. By using a lotion in combination with an oatmeal bath,
you can relieve the pain and itching caused by Shingles and speed up the recovery.

apply them.
