Poison Ivy, oak, sumac or prickly heat rashes

If there is a way then there must also be an Easy Way

Poison Ivy, oak, sumac or prickly heat rashes

Soothe the itchy skin of poison ivy, oak or sumac or prickly heat in a comforting Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda) bath. Add 1/2 cup of Baking Soda to a bath of water or make a paste( 3 parts Baking Soda to 1 part water) for more localized rashes and irritations..

I can vouch for this tip 100%. I had an unknown rash on my arm. It was about 4 inches across. It came on after working in the garden. It was awful. I had it for a few days and then I remembered the baking soda. I made a paste up and spread it on the rash. Within a minute the itching had gone. Within a day it had dried up and after a few days it was gone. The best thing was that the baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) took away the discomfort
