Natural Remedies for Poison Ivy
Poison ivy can cause much irritation and itching rash on the skin. Here are some natural home remedies for poison ivy.
Take some sunflower oil – 1 cup is excellent. Then take another cup of nice feverfew blossoms. Place the sunflower oil and the feverfew blossoms into a pan. Place the pan on and let it boil for a while, but make sure the heat is mild. Two or three minutes of simmering is fine.
Let it cool down, and place five or six nicely sliced garlic cloves. Preserve that mixture into a jar. Place it by a window for a week or two (make sure it’s shaken at least once a day). Apply the remedy on your affected area.
Boil some water. Let it fume at top boiling temperature. Take some washed sweet fern, wash properly and place them in the boiling water. Let it steep for five minutes, and then strain well. Apply this onto your affected area. This is proven a poison ivy remedy.
Garlic oil can also help in healing poison ivy. Apply the oil onto the infected area. Within a couple of days the rash should completely go away.
Wet your infected area. Then rub it mildly with some table salt. As a remedy, this should provide you with some relief while preventing the rash from spreading.
Peel a mid-size banana. Rub its inner side on the infected area where rash is visible. This sounds simple but works like a charm most of the time.
Place the affected part of the skin under your washbasin tap and let running water wash it for a while. In most of cases, this washes away nearly all of the histamines that cause itching effect on the skin.
Take some mild-warm water in a bowl. Place 3 cups of oats. Then, soak the affected part of the skin into that solution. Let 2/3 minutes pass and start rubbing slightly. This puts fantastic relief on the itching skin.
