- Poison Ivy and chiggers can drive you nuts. We were wandering around Arkansas a few weeks ago and my wife and I got chigger bites and she got poison Ivy. A friend made us a salve that instantly got rid of the chigger itch for me and it also helped my wife with the poison ivy.

What works best for me on poison ivy, and yeast infection is soak a washcloth in apple cider vinegar and scrub it into the itchy area 2 to 3 times a day and the rash is gone within a few days.
Great to know all these years in the garden and I did not have a clue …I’m very allergic to poison ivy …and chiggers are also a severe problem so berry picking has been cut way back ….which is where I always seem to get infected even just one bit can turn into a nightmare ….thank you for sharing …stay blessed
Yes, yep, correct, I knew that one, yeah,... I didn't know about it helping with the stool problems, it is also a common "weed" in most lawns around here (Missouri). Something else for you is it helps with both pulling out minor infections and healing cuts preventing scars, and (as I have seen it with my own eyes) pulls out tattoo ink were an infected cut was. My uncle was surprised when his naked lady tattoo lost everything from her neck to her knees! Our jar of it that my uncle made lasted for almost 6 years as well! We ran out, it didn't spoil by the way.
Love love your channel and all y’all’s info!
I like to add self heal to my plantain salve. And you that on everything.
Mahalo for sharing this!
I grew up eating this plantain! It’s one of my favorites. Just boil it up, add salt and a little bit of bacon grease for seasoning. Yum!
Right on, great info, thanks! For poison ivy, I apply lotion to skin before yard work, to create barrier that allows easier wash off of p.i. oil, and I limit yard work to 2 hr sessions, then wash hands/arms, repeat with lotion. I'm surrounded by all these things. Even had p.i. on chigger bites,topped with mosquito. Hot water helps, but worse is I've graduated to the guy that says. "Aw, that stuff doesn't bother me (anymore). Thanks for info, always wondered about plant remedy...thx.
I also wanted to add that the last time I had a really bad Poison Ivy reaction, I immediately bought a Jewel Weed spray in tincture form at local health food store and it did absolutely nothing!
Although I believe I have a bad allergy to Poison Ivy because my arm swelled up to twice its normal size, I had to get Prednisone to reduce the swelling and that really helped within a few days. Best thing is PREVENTION lol.
Also I got a little bit of Poison Ivy a few weeks ago but I had been taking high dose vitamin C because I was sick and I noticed that the reaction was SIGNIFICANTLY mild, hardly any bumps, no swelling and it disappeared quickly. I think there's definitely a relationship between vitamin c and the anti histamine component when dealing with poision ivy.
Possible with several allergies and toxins othercthan just the poison oaks and ivys. Something helpful to ponder.
@A. R. No it was just one, it was specifically poison ivy but it doesn't matter because the urishiol is the same
@@a.r.8987 I'm just one of those lucky people that has an actual allergy to poison ivy
@@MochaZillaone in 10 are immune to it, and about the same are extremely allergic to it as well, like stopping breathing or going to the hospital allergic. My uncle is in the latter group and he started cultivating jewel weed for poison ivy/oak and plantain for everything else.
I used jewel weed for my poison ivy a few times this year and it worked better than anything I've ever tried for the itch. It seemed like it cleared up faster also. I did notice the jewelweed early in the season seemed more potent just from crushing it and applying. Later in the season I ground it up the best I could, put it in a glass pan with water and slowly heated it. I let it come to room temp then put it in a glass jar in the fridge. I washed with Dawn before applying every time. I haven't tried the plantain yet, I wonder if mixing them would have even better results......just a thought. Love the videos, very helpful. Take care everyone!
Run a bit of really hot tap water over the affected area if you can (no, don’t scald yourself) and, after a brief spasm of intense itching, it shuts off the itching for hours after.
Bay leaves are a good prevention for poison oak on the west coast, if you know you touched poison oak you can crush the leaves and rub on your skin. Rash never apears. Bay trees are all over at least in the west.
i looove plantain. but do research the narrow plantian has more benefits then just the broad leaf. tho they have similar. i personally have both in my yard and use them together for better overall effects. it has great vitamins and mineral counts.
Really, I've had better effects with just using the broadleaf than the narrow leaf. It might just be the location though (I live in Missouri).
It works for mosquito bites too!
I made my first salve for poison ivy with jewel weed. I get itso bad every year. Ill make this also.
Where I live we seem to only have the narrow leaf plantain. Will that work as well for the salve?
Is English plantain as good as broadleaf plantain for these conditions? I can only grow the English plantain for some reason.
Thank you. You mentioned grinding up plaintain powder if the plants are not accessible, any sources youve used or would consider for purchasing?
Thank you again for bringing us useful information.
Maranatha!
It is a common "weed" around here (USA, Missouri) but it can be easily found on the internet.
@@jmoneyjoshkinion4576 I see, I'll look into it.
Thanks...
If buying the plantain dried, do you want the chips, herb, or leaves...cut and dried or what? We looked and looked where we live a few months ago when we needed it and cannot find it. Also do you let it sit 2 weeks for the fresh only or the dried as well?
Can I make this using coconut oil?
Why don't you use the dried plantain powder instead of infused oil, like you do with the comfrey salve? To me, it makes more sense to have the actual plant material in the salve.
With plantain the oil/juices are what you want, not the fiber necessarily.
Don't the enzymes in saliva help make this more effective? I thought I read something about that a while ago..
Would this help with mosquito bites also?
Yes, I have used them on mosquito bites .. it works... Also taking a supplement of vitamin A will stop biting insects too . I haven't been bit for 24 years since using vitmn A...
@@donnakawana woow i will def. try this and pass.along to my family!
Jewel weed is the way to go
The bees wax? What if you are allergic to bees? I dont know how bee wax is made? For most bites and some itches we use wet black tea applied to the area, sometimes with chewable aspirin mixed in.
In 2019 a study was being done on saliva as a pain killer and they believed it be as strong as Pharmaceutical opioids without the addiction. So chewing it and then placing it on the wound sounds reasonable.
Use coconut oil.
@@ScouseJack Allergies to bees, aloe, soy, coconut and wheat. I was thinking maybe rapeseed oil. I just don't know how it will interact. But thanks for trying.
I don't think beeswax will hurt you, it's the sting that is the problem right?
The venom can be in the honey or the cone (not sure thats the right word). But anything the bees make can have venom and venom from bees is cumulative. It never leaves your system. So one teaspoon of honey and even with an EpiPen that could be it. The more processed something is the less likely to have the Venom. But when you're that allergic why take chances.
@@Emme333 not peanuts? Welp. Use peanut oil.
