Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Summer Itch Relief By Cait , Assistant Producer, Care2 Healthy Living Channels. An herbalist friend recommended this remedy to me years ago when I suffered from a weepy, oozy, tear-your-skin-off case of poison ivy, and had tried every remedy in the books to no avail. This one worked. Oh the blessed relief! Since then, I’ve found it to be terrifically effective against mosquito bites, flea bites, and other summer itchies, too. Find out the secret! SIMPLE SOLUTION: Osha Root Tincture (which may be ordered online or found in your local natural foods store) is the best remedy for allergic reactions caused by poison ivy and bug bites EVER. Simply apply tincture directly, and sparingly, to the affected area and allow to dry. To learn more about weeds and health, see Susun Weed's groundbreaking "Healing Wise" (Ash Tree Publishing, 1989). If osha is unavailable, here is another helpful itch treatment: Cosmetic-grade clay mixed with water to make a paste, applied liberally to the affected area, and allowed to dry. HELPFUL HINTS: Master Herbalist Susun Weed recommends very sparing use of Osha since the plant is a perennial and becoming rare. And, as always, consult a health professional before using this or any remedy if you are pregnant, or have compromised or threatened health Suzi What is a weed?

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 There’s always jewelweed, which is plentiful and usually grows right next to poison ivy. When my children were small, I’d make a tea at the first sign of it in the spring and freeze it into ice cubes to put on poison ivy outbursts quickly. Luckily for me, they’re grown and gone and I’m not allergic to poison ivy.<G> Sharyn From: health [mailto:health ] On Behalf Of Suzanne HELPFUL HINTS: Master Herbalist Susun Weed recommends very sparing use of Osha since the plant is a perennial and becoming rare.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 That’s really weird, Suzi. Jewelweed usually grows right beside poison ivy…kind of like Mother Nature put the cure next to the ill. It’s in the mint family…stands tall with a square stalk and little orange flowers.
