Summer, when mosquitoes rampant, even you use a electric mosquito killer, mosquito repellent, mosquito swatter, but unfortunately, there always has a "escaped one" landing on our skin and have a good meal. With lovers walking in the garden where fireflies dancing under the moonlight, and the more chance you get bite. Some people say that the ingredients extracted from plants can relieve itching, is that true?

With mosquitoes eat enough and fly away, leaving the red knots can really trouble people. In my memory, toilet water and garlic juice were the two magic of grandmother. Today, there are added plant extracts known as itching toilet water, does the essence of what these plants can solve the "gift" which the mosquitoes leave to us?
Why do mosquito bites itch?
First, we need to know, why it will itch after mosquitoes bite .
Our immune system usually invade the body's protein and other foreign objects remain on high alert, if it is found "invaders", will release a large amount of histamine, causing itching of skin, tissue fluid and accelerate the secretion of immune proteins called throughout to eliminate them. Local accumulation of tissue fluid is formed in the packet, "itch" and "packet" is actually an allergic reaction performance. Blood-sucking mosquitoes when released from the mouthparts of a way to stop the blood clotting antithrombin, so that it can be successfully fed vampire sucked up, and this enzyme on the human body is the "invaders."
So, this unbearable feeling of actually touching the mouth, not because of the mosquitoes of our nerves, not because the release of toxins in mosquito killing our cells; the formation of packets, causing itching are the body's functions in the self-protection, but How many people is not such a battle, not to mention some cases may persist for several weeks. To get the war stopped, inhibit histamine release and stop the stimulation of the organization is the best solution to the problem of.
Why garlic and toilet water can be "itching"?
Well, know the source of itch, we can analyze to see the plant extracts can relieve itching. First, take a look at garlic, unfortunately, there is no composition can prevent the release of histamine. But added garlic, and sometimes makes us feel some of the spicy damaged skin irritation, itching divert our attention. But does not have any effect on the root causes of itching. It is also often said that garlic can bactericidal itching, sterilization can not leave, but unfortunately this was also no direct link between anti-itch.
Similarly, in the toilet water is often used in borneol and menthol, histamine can not fight. However,Glutathione  these substances in conjunction with alcohol solvent, can smear zone telangiectasia, affect neural activity in this area, in order to achieve local anesthesia. However, these substances evaporate, the nerves back to life, the feeling of itch on the back. Therefore, the only toilet water to ease itching itching feeling, and can not really fundamentally itching.
Antihistamines to be effective
It would appear, at present, the most effective method is to use anti-histamine anti-itch drugs, unfortunately, current antihistamine drugs are synthetic and not plant extracts. Cream such as the classic non-polar drugs, antihistamines beclomethasone dipropionate is the protagonist, we smell the mint flavor is menthol, Irinotecan which brought a touch of cool, is also a good helper. Some reports said that vitamin C solution, or with vitamin C-rich ground stems and leaves of plants (such as purslane) also against histamine, but so far there is no reliable experimental data confirm this view. But as long as no adverse reactions, try to anyway.
There are rumors that, as long as mosquitoes suck blood meal in comfort, pharmaceutical raw materials it will inject anticoagulant and then suck us back to the body. I do not know where this message is pop out of the trail, the fact is that early anticoagulant into the human body are spread, more importantly, causing itching is our body's own secretion of histamine , with the mosquito's mouth with it do not have the relationship.
