All of the locals around here know how to treat poison ivy. You harvest and use a plant called Jewelweed (sometimes called Touch-Me-Not) and it clears up this painful and agonizing rash FAST!
You can use it to make:
- Just rub the plant on the rash (works good)
- Salves (works good)
- Drink as a tea (works better)
- Drink as a tincture (works super fast)
- Apply topically as a tincture (works super fast)
If you want to beat poison Ivy and do it fast with the least amount of torment possible, THIS is the plant you need to get. Creation often times gives us the plants we need to treat certain ailments and in this case, they grow RIGHT next to each other.

I was just telling my husband about these plants yesterday! Our forest area on our property is suddenly over loaded with poison ivy. I haven't found any jewelweed near us yet, but I have found another great way to help subdue poison ivy reactions- wash your skin within two hours of exposure with warm water and soap and (this is the important part) use a microfiber cloth if you have one or a wash cloth if available. The cloth helps remove the oil that gets left behind when you wash with just your hands. It's helped us a ton so far!
