Say Goodbye to Chicken Pox with Natural Ointment
Hey there folks, it’s your friendly neighbourhood blogger back again! Today, I want to talk to you about a common childhood disease that we all dread- chicken pox.
Chicken pox, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, is a highly contagious disease that spreads through air-borne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, and a rash that develops into painful blisters.
While there are medications available to relieve the itching and discomfort, they can be very expensive and contain harsh chemicals that can further irritate the skin. That’s why I would like to introduce you to the benefits of a natural ointment for relief from chicken pox.
The natural ointment is a cost-effective, chemical-free alternative that you can make at home. Using simple ingredients like olive oil, coconut oil, and essential oils, this ointment can provide the nourishment and relief your skin needs.

The key ingredients in my all-natural chicken pox ointment are olive oil, coconut oil, and beeswax.

It’s important to use high-quality, organic ingredients when making your own ointment. You don’t want to introduce any further irritants to the skin, so avoid using additives or fillers. Stick with the basics for the best results.
Other possible ingredients that can be added to the mix include essential oils like lavender or tea tree, which have anti-inflammatory and antiseptic qualities. Vitamin E oil can also be a beneficial addition, as it helps to nourish the skin and promote healing.
