Jewelweed - Poison Ivy Cure





Anywhere there is poison ivy the anecdote is close by,
that being Jewelweed.
I chop up the Jewelweed, stems & leaves & add the flowers
stick it in a big pot- add about a cup of water and let it
cook until it wilts down
Strain the Jewelweed into ice cube trays- after they firm into
cubes I toss them into a plastic bag clearly marked not for
consumption!
Just pull out an ice cube and rub it on your skin-
If you prefer something you can stick in your pocket to
take with you on a hike- email me & I'll send you a
small jar of the stuff for $5
