4. Manuka Honey
One of the most effective natural remedies for dealing with a sun poisoning rash, is raw, unfiltered honey. Raw honey differs from the products you find in the grocery store as it undergoes no refinement after harvest. As a result of remaining in an unfiltered state, the honey retains all of its beneficial properties.
Raw honey comes packed with polyphenols from the pollen collected by the honey bees. These polyphenols have potent anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties that make it ideal for treating the effects of sun poisoning rash.
We recommend you look for “Manuka honey.” This type comes from honey bees that collect pollen from the flowers of the Manuka tree. This honey has a dark, vibrant color, with a sweet taste. However, you won’t be eating it for this remedy. Instead, smear a tablespoon of the honey over the area of the skin affected by the sun poisoning rash.
Honey reduces symptoms of pain and inflammation, accelerating the healing process. Leave it on the skin for 30-minutes, and then wash it off with cool water.
