7. Treats Itchiness
One of the most effective home remedies I’ve found for relieving itchy mosquito bites is with the use of banana peels. Bananas are rich in potassium, zinc, manganese, iron, vitamin C and vitamin E that altogether help relieve itchiness and inflammation brought about by scratching the skin. Get a banana peel – a cold banana peel if you prefer – and place the inside part on the itchy spot for up to 10 minutes. You can also rub the peel on the skin to help soothe the inflamed spot. The banana peel remedy is also effective for poison ivy and other bug bites.
