The listing, All Natural Itch Relief Medicinal Jewelweed Impatiens 10+ seeds has ended.

This medicinal plant has many many uses. When I was a little girl, I loved playing in the woods and I'd always end up with poison ivy. My granny would say, "go down there by the garden and break some of those wild touch-me-nots off and bring'em up here". So I would. She would crush the stems and rub the juices on my legs and hands and the itching would stop and it would dry up in a day or so.

Here's a link to all the uses this medicinal plant is good for.

If you break jewelweed's stem and repeatedly apply the juice to a fresh mosquito bite for 15 to 20 minutes, the itching stops and the bite doesn't swell.
For older bites, it works only temporarily.

Jewelweed's juice also relieves bee and wasp stings, although it doesn't always cure them completely.

It's also good to for warts, bruises, and fungal skin infections such as athlete's foot and ringworm.
It's is also helpful for nettle stings, minor burns, cuts, eczema, acne, sores, and any skin irritations.

If you accidentally touch poison ivy and apply jewelweed juice to the affected area before the rash appears, you probably won't get the rash. One of my best strawberry patches is also infested with poison ivy. You can't avoid touching it as you collect the irresistible fruit. I have everyone apply jewelweed to all exposed areas when we leave, and nobody ever gets a rash.

The Indians treat already-developed poison ivy rash by rubbing jewelweedís broken stem on the rash until it draws some blood. The rash then dries out, a scab forms, and healing occurs.

You will get 10 seeds (and they spread after the first year) and shipping is FREE!
