Epsom salts are made of magnesium and sulfate and offer a go-to remedy for many health ailments in addition to relaxing the mind. Magnesium helps regulate the activity of numerous enzymes, as well as raising serotonin levels in the brain. There are several ways to relieve mosquito bites with Epsom salts:  Take an Epsom salt bath. Fill a bathtub with cold or room temperature water and Epsom salts as directed on the package. Soak in the bath for 30 minutes to an hour. Create an Epsom salt compress by mixing Epsom salts with water to make a thin paste. Apply the paste to mosquito bites. Then, cover the paste with a cool, damp washcloth. Repeat as necessary. Both tulsi and stinging nettle may be able to help curb inflammation in your body.  Tulsi is a kind of basil that may also work as a natural antihistamine. Heat a couple sprigs of basil leaves up under some steam and apply gently to the hives.  Some people recommend taking freeze-dried stinging nettle, which is known for its ability to reduce inflammation in the body. Baking soda can help relieve irritation and itchiness. To make a baking soda paste, mix 3 teaspoons (15 mL) of baking soda with 1 teaspoon (4.9 mL) of water. Apply the paste to your bite several times a day. Although they're not proven to be effective, essential oils may help soothe your skin, treat inflammation, and may even reduce the size of the bite. Be aware of which essential oils work well with your skin (and skin type), as lavender oil, for example, may work wonders in treating mosquito bites but might also attract bees.  Tea tree oil is a great dermatological medicine. Not only does it help treat dandruff, athlete's foot, and acne, it also acts as an anti-inflammatory, itch-reliever, and it contains properties that help ward off infection.  Like tea tree oil, lavender oil can help treat swelling, reduce inflammation, and relieve the itching sensation associated with mosquito bites. Lavender oil, also like tea tree oil, may ward off other mosquitoes. Unlike tea tree oil, it may also attract bees. Peel a banana and save the banana for later (you could eat it to keep your mind off of the bite). Then, clean the bite with soap and water. Once the bite is clean, hold the inside of the banana peel on the bite for 5-10 minutes, rubbing the peel onto the skin occasionally. The banana peel may relieve any itchiness. Mix 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of water and 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of meat tenderizer powder to make a paste. Apply the paste to the bite several times a day.  Meat tenderizer powder, which contains papain or bromelain, may help by reducing the itching sensation.  The enzymes that tenderize meat, papain or bromelain, can also be found in several natural ingredients: bromelain can be found in the juice and stem of pineapples, while papain can be found in papaya and mountain papaya.If you don't have meat tenderizer handy, but you are equipped with papaya or pineapple, cut out a piece of the meat of either fruit and apply to skin in a pinch. Apple cider vinegar may be an itch-reliever for mosquito bites because of its acidity, although this has not been proven. Be careful using apple cider vinegar, as it may irritate your bite and prevent it from healing. There are two ways to apply the cider vinegar to the bite to relieve the itch:  In a liquid solution:  Mix equal parts warm water and apple cider vinegar. Soak a cotton ball in the solution and apply to bites. Hold for a minute or two and let dry. Reapply as necessary.   In a paste:  Mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and cornflour. Apply paste to bites and allow to dry. Wash off with warm water.
