A method for treating poison ivy and similar poison plant induced rashes utilizes a sealed pouch containing a mixture of anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-oxidant property ingredients. The pouch is placed in a container filled with boiling water. The ingredients in the pouch permeate through the water. A metal applicator has a spoon-shaped section with a curved lower surface and a handle. The spoon-shaped section is inserted into the boiled herbal water mixture. The bottom surface of the curved lower surface of the spoon-shaped section is then momentarily placed on the pustule or red bump of the poison ivy. The applicator is then lifted up away from the area. Usually two or three touches with the applicator on the effected area will completely remove the itching and the itching and pustule will be entirely eliminated within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.

Method for treating poison ivy and similar poison plant induced rashes

A poison ivy (and related dermatitis) treatment composition and method in which a novel composition containing a combination of active ingredients gives new and unexpected results over compositions of the prior art. The inventive composition includes three essential ingredients: extract (fresh sap) of jewelweed (Impatiens species); fresh sap of plantain leaf; and an aqueous colloidal dispersion of subdivided whole oat grains. It is believed that the amphiphilic nature of the aqueous colloidal oat dispersion both preserves the activity of the plantain and jewelweed enzymes, as a result of its oat oil fraction, and also enhances topical delivery to the epidermis due to its aqueous fraction and the stabilizing effect of the oat bran as bulking agent. At the same time the aqueous oat colloid dispersion provides an essential excipient and delivery agent for the jewelweed and plantain enzymes, it itself provides essential anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect to minimize dermatitis exacerbation due to itching and scratching. In addition, the joint presence of the plantain and jewelweed saps is believed to give an enhanced anti-inflammatory effect as compared to the use of either plant sap alone.

Rhus dermatitis treatment composition and method

Novel analgesic, anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory compositions containing as the active ingredient the compound, 5-methyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H)-pyridone are described. Such compositions have also been found to cause significant lowering of serum uric acid and glucose levels and to be effective in the treatment of a number of upper respiratory ailments in humans and other mammals. Skin conditions such as dermatitis and poison ivy are also alleviated by this agent. The compositions containing 5-methyl-1-phenyl-2-(1H)-pyridone caused no irritation on oral administration or when applied to specific target tissues showed no significant irritation or other sequelae.
