The juice of the Jewelweed plant is considered by many to be the best natural Poison ivy rash remedy there is. Jewelweed is found near creeks in shade, Eastern United States. It is usually large enough to pick by the first of June in Tennessee. Jewelweed can be harvested until frost, however the stems get very tough when the weather turns hot. The seeds of the plant give it the name "Touch me nots" because they burst open when touched or brushed up against.

This online herbal is intended as an introduction to how medicinal herb plants are used as herbal remedies. It is intended for educational purposes only. I am not a medical professional and I cannot prescribe what herbs are right for you. I cannot answer medical questions, so please do not ask me (or any other complete stranger for that matter) to prescribe herbal remedies, cures, treatments or to guess what is wrong with you.

If you use herbs, do so responsibly. Consult your doctor about your health conditions and use of herbal remedies. Herbs may be harmful if taken for the wrong conditions, used in excessive amounts, combined with prescription drugs or alcohol, or used by persons who don't know what they are doing. Just because an herbal remedy is natural, does not mean it is safe! There are herbs that are poisonous such as Poison Hemlock, Jimson weed, and many more.

I will be happy to help you ID wild plants that you find, or help you locate herbs, plants or herb seeds and especially herb pictures.
