Chunks of information
- Jewelweed or Spotted Touch-Me-Not (Impatiens capensis): A poultice from the crushed leaves can be used on poison ivy rash; this poultice also works for cuts, burns, bug-bites, sprains, warts and ringworm. Juice from the stems also can be applied to poison ivy rash.
- Impatiens balsamica. Often, it grows near the poison ivy. You can make a cool tea of it, let it steep for about 30 mins, then freeze the results in an ice cube tray, and rub them over the offending blisters. Fresh plant is best, though.
