Jewelweed Soap

This is a classic natural remedy for Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac. We only use fresh michigan grown jewelweed so the higher price is based on the fact we can only get it certain times of the year so it is a very limited amount made at a time.

 As they all contain "urushiol oil", an extremely sticky oil that can cause severe rash. The problem can be, if you touch, either accidentally (while hiking or working near these plants), or by transfer (off an item or pet that has it on it's fur), you can then touch other parts of your body and spread the oil and potential for rash. The first thing you should do when you realize you've been exposed, is wash the area, and your hands, to prevent further spread!!! If you happen to be around wild-growing jewelweed and you recognize it, the best antidote is to pick some leaves and stems, crush them up in your hands and immediately rub them on the affected areas that have come in contact with the poison plants. Then wash with Jewelweed Soap to neutralize the urushiol oil
