Miners lettuce has the same active ingredients and works the same way. Must use fresh with 24 hrs or the active ingredients oxidize. I will add this to my list. I found one in Hawaii that works but haven't been able to find out what it is. I suspect that spinach might work as well. Have not tried it thought. rken |

Seems like the oil would keep it from drying out... Last Edited by Woodsprite on 07/27/2011 06:39 AM |
AC User ID: 1484566 United States 07/27/2011 07:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For those people who get it really bad and it goes into the bloodstream and then starts erupting all over the body, this usually works: Take Vit C (ascorbic acid is ok for this), about 500 mg. every two hours until you get loose stool. That means you've reached bowel tolerance, so back off on the dose. This will flush it from the bloodstream and neutralize it. Keep using the jewelweed or whatever else you are doing topically at the same time. When using the jewelweed or other herbal remedies, it is best to cleanse the area first, with baking soda poured on, let it remain a minute or two, rinse it off and dry and then apply the jewelweed. Just works a little faster. The baking soda, being very alkaline, neutralizes the acid in the poison ivy which is the irritating factor. |
