"collect large quanities of jewelweed and boil the stems, leaves,
and flowers in water to cover. Boil until water is a deep orange color. Refrigerate till needed. ....Treatment...swab over infected area... the sooner you start treatment the better it works. The itching not only stops.. but the area is cleared up in hours" picture of jewelweed... it grows right next to poison ivy http://www.jaxmed.com/articles/Diseases/jewelweed.htm http://www.luminet.net/%7Ewenonah/hydro/jewelwed.htm another way of using jewelweed is to rub the contact area with crushed jewelweed leaves which neutralizes the toxin. or you can make a tea out of the leaves and the tea that is left over you can make into ice cubes for future use |

Hey - just wanted others to know this is a great remedy. When my sis and I were in our teens, we read about this in a Euell Gibbions book. She was terribly alergic to poison ivy...the next time she encountered a patch and began to react - we gathered the weed, made the tea and applied with success. We made ice cubes with the remaining tea to have on stand by! |
