DIY Natural Treatments for Poison Ivy, Oak & More

I had a really bad case of poison oak recently.

I had a lot of people telling me to use different

natural treatments. Let me first start by saying

I did use over the counter items. Some of these

I did try and it offers a little relief, to some it may

offer more but it is something you have to do

frequently during the day not just once.

Rubbing alcohol, pour onto a wash cloth and rub onto affected area

Witch hazel & salt, mix together to make a paste and rub into effected area

Baking soda and water, mix together to make a paste and rub into effected area

Oatmeal bath

Aloe vera gel

Oddly the last one is heat, hot bath or a hair dryer to the skin.

You are probably thinking what?

When mine was itching bad I took the hair dryer to it,

it burns and itches really bad but I would

get about an hour relief from the itching!

Good luck if you have it, if you have a bad reaction make

sure you go see a dr so you can get on a steroid.
