Itchy skin relief

My Mum's 88 yrs old. She's been having severe itching attacks, has been loosing sleep; I found solution in givng her hot showers using natural olive oil soap ,massage whole body before towel drying while still wet, with Baby oil . Wait 5 min and u can get dressed. Repeat every day if u can, if not every 2 days.
