Anyone have any suggestions for neuropathic itch?

Hey Jelinx,
I saw your thread a while back but didn't have an answer, however I saw this today and think it could provide relief.
Oat straw extract – which comes from green oats – has been used for centuries as an herbal treatment for improving the health of the mind and overall well-being of individuals. As it relates to neuropathy, it has a lot to offer. For those suffering from irritated skin as a result of nerve damage, oat straw extract can help relieve itchy or irritated skin. For those dealing with inflammation and swelling, it helps reduce inflammatory markers and relieve pain associated with inflammation. Finally, it helps calm the nervous system and ease anxiety.
Benefits:
Relieves itchy or irritated skin
Reduces inflammation
Calms nervous system and reduces anxiety
Hopefully you'll give it a try and report back to us.
Best of luck,
Atty
