4. Green Tea
Green tea has a host of benefits, and many people enjoy its refreshing taste. It contains antioxidants that protect the body from impurities in the environment that can speed up aging and decay of the cells.
Green tea is also recommended for cholesterol control and prevention of heart problems and cancer. Green tea also helps you deal with hives because it has natural properties that can reduce swelling and its antioxidant can treat the problem. The ingredient in green tea that benefits the skin are called polyphenols and are also found in chocolate and wine.
These polyphenols promote general skin health and are effective in repairing damage when taken externally. You can let your green tea bags do double duty by placing them once they have cooled on the affected area. That way, you can enjoy a cup of green tea and use the bags as a hives treatment.
