I am reminded of a mention from a cousin of mine of a natural remedy for poison Ivy. She called it “the Jewel weed” which surprisingly grows around where poison ivy is. ( good way to tell if poison ivy is around – if you see it) . I must say I use this “weed” in my own fights with poison ivy and it is as good as any over the counter cure I have tried. Here is a link to a good web site that gives further details –

You just crush up the watery stalk and “paint” the moist part of the stalk on the area exposed. It’s that simple!!
I wish I knew the chemistry behind this one , but all I know is that it works for me…Good luck and thanks for your shows
