Poison Ivy Home Remedy For Itch Relief
Old Saying To Identify Poison Ivy:
- Leaves of three, let it be; berries white, danger in sight.
From Wikipedia:
The leaves are ternate with three almond-shaped leaflets. The berries (actually drupes) are a grayish-white color and are a favorite winter food of some birds.
Poison Ivy Remedies For Relief:
- Baking soda bath (use lots of baking soda, hot water)
- To help with itching, dip a clean cloth in a strong solution of Epsom salts & water then cover the affected area with the cloth and bandage.

I just had a MAJOR bout of the stuff and ended up going to the doctor for Prednisone. The nurse-practitioner also recommended Sarna Anti-Itch lotion, which helped the itch the most. It has a menthol fragrance which is kind of strong, but pleasant. And it beats the hell out of Calamine lotion. Yech.
take Benadryl. Relieve the itching inside out.
If you have Impatience (plant) around, maserate some of the leaves and rub them on the infected area.
Women with insulin issues and/or diabetes should be wary of taking baking soda baths- the baking soda can disrupt the body’s natural pH and cause yeast infections.
For localized areas of poison ivy, you can use a baking soda paste to help dry out the inflammation.
Fels-Naptha soap is an almost instant cure for some people. I have friends in CA that use it all the time. My daughters boyfriend gets it horribly but washes the affected area and it is gone in a very short time.
mix water, salt, and baking soda to a paste and apply. Works Great dries up fast!!
put some Whitch- Hazel on a rag and rub like crazy. Just worked for me!
If you know that you have been in contact with poison ivy,use the Fels-Naptha soap to wash it off. It is the only cleanser that prevents it from popping out on you. You may also use the soap as a lather on already bumpped poison ivy. It will dry it out fast.
