Take a soothing bath:

1. Add a cup of apple cider vinegar to your bath and soak for 10 minutes.

2. Add ½ cup of baking soda and a small handful of sea salt.

3. Take an oatmeal bath: Add two cups of oatmeal to the bottom of a nylon sock. Tie up the sock, and let warm water pour over the pouch. Leave pouch in tub as you bathe.
