[Herbalist] poison ivy

[HopeAllyson Dwiggins]

I found a remedy for all the poison plants in one of my herbal books, mix
epsom salt, colloidal oatmeal and lavender essential oil.  My husband is
sensitive to poison ivy, and when he gets the rash, we add some water to
make a paste and apply it.  It clears it up almost immediately.
