Aloe Vera Gel

This wonderful plant is great for treating sunburns and other types of burns! It is also great for treating the rash caused by these poisonous plants.

Just split open the leaves and place the gel directly on the affected area. Aloe vera gel will relieve the pain and itching. If you don’t have an aloe vera plant, you can buy the bottled aloe vera gel at your local market and it will be just as effective.

Baking Soda

Add ½ cup of baking soda in warm bathwater and soak. You can also make a paste with warm water and apply directly to the rash caused by poison ivy, oak, or sumac.

Oatmeal

Make a paste of cooked oatmeal and apply it to the rash. This home remedy has great results because it helps draw out the toxins therefore relieving the pain and itching these rashes cause.

Banana Peel

This method is pretty simple. Just rub the inside of a banana peel on the affected area to help relieve itching and inflammation.

Potato

Blend a raw potato in the blender or food processor. Apply the potato paste to the skin and cover area with plastic wrap to relieve itching. The starch from the potato also helps dry out the skin which promotes a quicker healing process.

Cucumber

Cut a cucumber into slices or make a cucumber paste (you can accomplish the cucumber paste by using a blender or food processor). Apply the slices or paste directly to the affected area. Leave on for at least 15 minutes. Repeat as necessary.

Tea Bags

I would personally suggest green tea or chamomile tea bags for this remedy. Seep tea bags for 2-3 minutes then once cooled completely, apply to the affected area for about 15 minutes.

So, now you’ve got plenty of remedies for these troublesome plants. Better put them to use!
