    Colloidal Oatmeal

    As it is sold in different pharmacies and other drug outlets anywhere in the world, colloidal oatmeal or Avena sativa, is not designed for a saucepan on the stove, as we usually associate with oatmeal, rather it is a product intended for the bath tub.

    Colloidal oatmeal is actually a natural product that is more suited to the water in the bath tub, where its elements aids to comfort and soften the dry skin and where it functions to provide relief to itchy skin rashes.

    To better understand its application and its unique qualities, the colloidal oatmeal is simply oatmeal which has been firmed to a fine powder and then soaked in water. Its minced oats absorb water, which then turns it to a slightly milky and thick. And since the colloidal oatmeal is usually added to a bath, hence it is named "batherapy colloidal oatmeal", its hydrated granules usually aid to moisturize, calm, and provide relief to the minor skin irritations. It is considered that the emollient or skin softening qualities of the colloidal oatmeal are actually taken from the ingredients in the product itself like the fiber and cellulose.

    There are some explanations that when the colloidal oatmeal is combined with a liquid, the colloidal oatmeal will eventually acts like a colloid, as its name implies. This process then means the when the molecules or the tiny particles of the grain proliferate through another medium, that is the bath water, they totally transform the consistency of the water as they are totally mixed in. Perhaps, the beautiful essence of the colloidal oatmeal bath is the fact that the particles of the oatmeal do not really sink to the bottom of the tub.

    In terms of its benefits, it is interesting to know that the real benefits of the colloidal oatmeal is basically derives from its capability to bind to the skin. So due to its likeness for water, it then functions as a moisturizer by means of pulling and holding the water on the skin's surface. Since it has a cellulose and fiber contents, the colloidal oatmeal is responsible to anchor moisturizers for a long-lasting mechanism. For that, anyone who applied it may feel a softer and more elastic skin.

    In addition, such binding action promoted by the colloidal oatmeal also produces a barrier which shields the skin from harmful substances that may irritate the skin. For that effect, the product then functions as a soothing agent that aids in the reduction of itching and redness.

    Other minor skin irritations like the eczema or dry skin patches, chickenpox, and shingles will also likely to respond to colloidal oatmeal bath treatments. Aside from that, the insect bites, sores, dermatitis, poison oak, and other minor skin problems may as well fell calmed in such a bath.
    Many who have tried using the colloidal oatmeal mostly suggest that if you really don't mind some sorts of experimenting, producing colloidal oatmeal is somewhat so easy. In fact, you can easily grind the oatmeal that you bought at the grocery store for it to make a sort of colloidal oatmeal. But then a word of extra caution must be taken.

    For best results, you can actually add a product that is rich in colloidal oatmeal to a tepid bath and then soak it for 10 minutes or so.
