A member asked:

Could you explain what is best home remedies for chickenpox?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Homeopathy: Rhus toxicodendron is th ebst for chickenpox. It helps stop itching and speeds crusting over. It is best if the person with pox is in a "good mood". If they are very grumpy then antimonium crudum may the remedy needed. Of course calamine lotion or aveeno (oatmeal) bath may help curb itching as well.
