Herbal Tea Helped My Itchy Skin

For 2 years I tried Doctor prescribed creams with steroids, antibiotics and fungacides in them which helped while I used them but the itch came back immediately after stopping using them. I was also writing down what I ate to see if there was connection....couldn't find one. I tried tea tree oil, olive oil and assorted creams from health food stores but they didn't help. Finally, I tried a combination of nettles, oat straw, calendula flowers and red clover flowers. I brewed a tea using equal parts of each herb and drank 3-4 cups a day. It is tasty hot or cold. Within 2 weeks my itching was hardly noticable. Prior to that my itching was so intense I would scratch till it would bleed. I have not had it come back...that was 4 years ago.
