Home Remedies for Poison Ivy - 8 always available Home Remedies for Poison Ivy http://www.homeremediesforpoisonivy.org/ The first home remedy that somebody affected by poison ivy can perform is too simply run cool running water over the affected area. Removing any clothing that may have come into contact with the poison ivy is best. This will keep the poison ivy toxins that are on the clothes away from the body and make rinsing off a much easier task. After rinsing thoroughly, you should be able to take a shower and use soap. Do not shower with soap until after you have rinsed thoroughly with cool water. Rinsing off outside with a garden hose works best provided there is one available. Baking Soda Another natural home remedy to soothe the painful itch associated with poison ivy is to use baking soda and water. Baking soda and water can be mixed to form a thick paste-like substance that can be applied over the affected areas. If a large area of the body has been affected by poison ivy, the baking soda can also be used in a warm bath. By pouring a box of baking soda into a warm bath, the poison will be forced from the the body and the affected areas will begin to feel much better. Vinegar A third natural home remedy that can be attempted to overcome the the burning caused by a poison ivy rash is the application of vinegar over the affected areas. Applying vinegar to the poison ivy rash may slightly sting but it does seem to dry up the affected areas as well as cool down the rash. You may want to dampen a rag with vinegar and use it as a compress. Banana Peel A somewhat strange, natural home remedy, that many people swear by to rid themselves of poison ivy is the use of a banana peel. It does sound strange, but rubbing the inside of a banana peel on a poison ivy rash does dry up the rash and clean it up rather quickly. Common Salt One home remedy for treating the adverse affects of poison ivy is the use of warm salt water. By soaking the affected area in warm salt water, the itch does seem to become soothed. Sometimes people will will apply plain table salt directly on the affected area as this will clean up the rash quicker and ease the itch. If the entire body is affected, you may want to take a salt water bath. Aloe Vera Aloe vera is another quick home remedy for poison ivy that brings instant relief. If you have an aloe plant at home, simply squeeze a freshly cut aloe leaf and apply the extract from the plant to the rash or blisters. Oatmeal Oatmeal can be used as a great home remedy for poison ivy because of its colloidal properties and ability to dry out blisters
