Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 The one we use all the time because it works is Basic H from Shaklee. I ran out and didn't bother to get more. Then my grandson got into a bunch of poison ivy. Because it was all over his penis and scrotum area plus his feet hands ears and nostril, I took him to the doctor and he gave him a shot plus he said to continue the benedryl plus he gave him a steriod to take by mouth but that was a little bit much so we didn't do that. Anyway.....a week later he still had the poison ivy in many places. I purchased the Basic H and almost over night it was history. then he got in it again and we only used the Basic H and it was gone in 2 days. Edith In a message dated 3/27/2007 11:29:40 A.M.

Apply the pasteliberally to the rash and leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes. Storeleftover paste in a tightly sealed jar and reapply as needed. Theremedy soothes the itch by absorbing the irritating plant oils anddrying the rash. It also works for poison oak.* Hot water and a banana. Take as hot as shower as you can stand foras long as you can. It will feel good and help relieve the itching.Then take a banana peel and rub it on the infected area. The itchshould be gone for eight to twelve hours.* Watermelon. Take watermelon (the rind and the meat) and glide itover the rash. Let it dry naturally. Within a day, the conditionshould improve greatly.* Baking soda and coffee. First put about a half a cup baking sodain a bowl and slowly add cool coffee to make a thick paste. Thenapply the paste liberally to the affected area and allow to dry. Thepoison will flow out of the blisters like water.* Turmeric and lime or lemon juice. Mix one tablespoon of turmericspice with roughly equal parts of lime or lemon juice to form a thickpaste. Carefully apply to the afflicted skin. This remedy stains, andstings ever so slightly, but works miraculously. For avoiding stainson clothes, furniture or carpet, use it in the bathtub, so the brightyellow stuff doesn't fall down and make a mess. Let it sit on yourskin for fifteen minutes, then wipe off excess. Some stain will likelyremain. By the next day you will be astonished at how it the ivy hasdried up and nearly vanished.* Vick's Vapor Rub. Clean the infected areas first and then rubVick's on the areas twice a day to rid infection. Slightly burns atfirst. Dries up the infection in one to three days.* Lead fishing sinker. An old country recipe sworn to by many. Toprevent getting infected by poison ivy, beat a lead fishing sinkerflat. Take a nail and punch a hole in the flat sinker, then put astring through it and wear it around your neck. One person who isvery allergic to poison ivy reported that he had never been infectedin over 30 years when wearing the sinker. Author’s note: due toconcerns about lead, it is probably advisable to give the sinker agood coating of epoxy enamel, although it is unknown whether coatingthe sinker might have an effect on this remedy.* Poke salad root. Boil the root of a poke salad plant until itturns into a paste form. It will have a strong odor. Then, once it hascooled enough not to scald, rub it on the infected area until you canfeel it "burn or sting". It should neutralize the poison ivy overnight.* Dishwashing liquid. Rub dishwashing liquid onto skin area andwithin 15 to 20 minutes the itch should disappear. Do not wash offuntil the next morning and then reapply. Within a couple of days theskin area should clear. This is also good for mosquito bites.• Burdock roots. Make a strong tea with burdock roots and apply tothe skin. Let it dry and re-apply as often as needed. It relieves theitching immediately.• Hemorrhoid ointment or liquid Blistex. Smear it on the areasaffected to relieve itching and clear up within 24 hours or so.* Potato. Blend a potato in blender until it becomes a rough pastyblob. Put it on some plastic wrap and wrap it around affected area.Plastic wrap works better than towels. If you are treating your facepoke two holes for nostrils so you can breathe. Leave it on for anhour or so, and the next day the bubbles should be gone and the skinshould turn yellowish and start flaking off. It will probably stillitch but should itch much less, and the itching should soon go away.Rub the affected areas to remove excess, but do not rub too hard orpick at the affected areas. Use vitamin E or lotion to help the newskin look and feel better.* Peachtree leaves. Get some leaves from a peach tree, boil them andthen let the water cool. Take a cotton ball and apply the liquid tothe affected areas. Works almost overnight and should be almostcompletely clear within two-three days.* Oatmeal. Run a warm bath and fill an old sock with oatmeal. Whilesoaking in the tub, take the sock of oatmeal and gently rub it allover the affected areas.Live long, live healthy, live happy!Tony Isaacs__._,_.__ AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 Oddly enough, I have never been susceptible to poison ivy or poison oak - and have come into contact with both, particularly poison ivy, many times while camping or traipsing about out in the boonies. I have found that oatmeal works well on blisters from stinging nettles that do bother me, and if I were to be affected by poison ivy (I understand that immunity does not always last, so who knows?), I would not hesititate to use one or more of the remedies - particularly the fast acting natural ones in the list. oleander soup , rjrad100 wrote: > > How many of these have you actually tried on yourself? > > Jeff </HTML> > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hi... There's an old family recipe for poison ivy and it works very, very well and has never failed anyone that used it that I know about. It's Flowers of Sulphur or Sublimed Sulphur a powder that used to be had at the pharmacy but not here anymore but can be had online. It's natural sulphur a deep dark bright sort of yellowish/green color. Poison Ivy gets in the blood and then erupts on the skin and it is the weeping that itches so bad. The recipe is 1 tsp of sulphur mixed with something like honey to get it down internally just once a day for 3 days. It starts drying the first day and by the 3rd day you are home free The "old folks" used to take this in the spring like a tonic. I have seen it work on severe cases and have used it a few times myself as needed to. We keep several bottles on hand but will last a very long time as one doesn't do this very often or only if need to and very inexpensive. I think the bottles were less than 6.00 the last time I bought them.Believe it or not I had a very, very old can of it and on it was marked 42 cents!!!!!!! One day I realized that skin diseases could very well be a blood thing and blood goes everywhere in the body even the bones..so cleaning the blood might be of great benefit....one needs to drink a lot of water during those 3 days as one could get constipated. And since it works so well for poison ivy it might work well for other sking diseases....just a thought there. MaryAOL now offers free email to everyone.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Thanks for sharing, Mary. Now I have another good remedy to add to my book. If anyone has any good remedies to share, feel free to post them. Likewise, if anyone would like to know remedies for just about any condition, feel free to ask.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 An interesting historical factoid: a long time ago poison ivy was sometimes used by the mountain people of Kentucky to help clear up athletes foot and other fungal skin infections. From personal experience (not intentional) I know it does work, but the cure is worse than the disease! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
