How to Cure Poison Ivy
1. Try to keep away from scratching affected areas. I know this is hard, but scratching will help to spread the aberrant oil to other, unaffected areas.
2. How to Cure Poison Ivy with Phenols. Urushiol, the nuisance oil in poison ivy, is a chemical in the phenol family. Phenols are acids, so washing with a weak alkaline base should help to get rid of it from the skin. Some people have accounted that well diluted household ammonia applied to the exaggerated areas helps. Also, a paste made from baking soda rubbed quietly on the skin can help too. But methodically wash off the alkali soon after you have applied it.
3. If you don’t previously have an aloe-vera plant, get one! Forget the gainful gels and ointment, use a real plant. Take a leaf and cautiously slice it laterally. This will expose the interior juicy part of the leaf, giving you 2 halves. Apply the juicy side of each half straight to the affected areas and bandage in place. Use a new leaf or leaves each day. It may not look good, but it works well!
4. How to Cure Poison Ivy with jewel weed. This home remedy for poison ivy necessitate jewel weed. There are many optional ways to use this plant, but simply crushing some leaves with a part of the stem and rubbing the juice you get all over the rash as frequently as you can, is reported by many to be an excellent poison ivy cure.
5. Wash all contaminated clothes in hot water with appropriate detergent to avoid re-contamination. Today’s washing machines endorse the use of a colder wash as normal. This will likely not remove the nuisance oil adequately, so make sure the water is hot - not warm, but hot!
