A couple weeks ago, when we were building the flower bed, I somehow got into some poison ivy. EEEK! So I went on the computer to find some home remedies. You won't believe some of these. Right out of Granny Clampett's recipe book!
- spray starch
- 7 day deodorant pads
- onion sprinkled with salt
- rub with a banana peel
- vinegar and preparation H
- clear fingernail polish
- Vick's Vaporub
- hair spray
- mashed potato paste
- And get this one....a lead fishing sinker tied around your neck !!
Well I had bought some Preparation H ( I had see a woman on Oprah that used it as a face cream to remove wrinkles ) but that's another post.
So I tried it...and it worked!!
The vinegar helped dry up the rash and the Prep. H took away the itch for at least 8 hours!
I believe Praparation H must be a miracle drug. I have heard about the wrinkle remover use--haven't tried it! Glad to know this latest use.hope you are still itch free!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what's in that stuff that it would work on p. ivy, wrinkles and hemrroids????
ReplyDeleteHave you tried it for a face cream?
