Any home remedies for prickly heat rash?

I don’t have any skin conditions such as psoriasis or excema, and I don’t have any skin allergies. It’s definitely heat rash of some sort. I just get patches of itchy rashes during the summer when it’s hot and humid. I have been China for for years and TCM hasn’t helped much. Right now the best relief I can get is from taking a hot shower (to open the pores), covering my body with shampoo or other products containing menthol, waiting about five to ten minutes until my whole body tingles. After that I rinse with hot water again (to clean the products chemicals out of my pores), then a cold water rinse to close the pores and cool off. This is usually only temporary relief. I do sweat a lot (more than most people), so I take about three cold showers a day too cool off and clean out the pores. I do refrain from scratching (as I know it makes it worse) during waking hours, but during my sleep, I have involuntary scratching. I am really into alternative health and home remedies. Thanks

A home air purifier is a boon, especially if you have little kids living in your domicile. This is also true in case you have elderly and sick relatives with you; and if you are sharing spaces with your favorite pet(s.) Most people think that investing in a home air purifier is a waste of time and money. After all, most homes now have HVAC (heating-ventilation-air conditioning) systems installed. But having an HVAC is different from having a purifier. The ventilation and the air conditioning units can do no more than circulate the air, which means air that is infested with microscopic debris is only being regurgitated by the system. This is only filtered by human lungs when people breathe the contaminated air in. Needless to say, this is not a particularly healthy way of living. If you are not impressed with the functions of a home air purifier, here are the 5 most active signs that you need one as soon as possible.

5. The air outside seems so much better than inside. Do you notice that you and some members of your household always throw open the windows so that “fresh air” can come in? This is an obvious sign that the quality of your indoor air is poor. Unfortunately, according to the EPA or Environment Protection Agency, outdoor air is 2 times more toxic than indoor air. That means: the “fresh air” you are actually getting is more contaminated than the one you already have. A purifier can improve your indoor air by as much as 99%.
