The listing, 20+ Orange Jewelweed (poison ivy remedy) has ended.

Offering 20+ seeds

Impatiens capensis, the orange jewelweed, common jewelweed, spotted jewelweed, spotted touch-me-not, or orange balsam, is an annual plant native to North America.

Jewelweed is a traditional remedy for various skin conditions, irritations, nettle stings, hives, eczema, insect stings and bites, cuts, and acne.
It is best known as a remedy against poison ivy rash. The seeds are edible and pleasant tasting. My chickens love them, and its fun watching them try to get the seeds off of the plants.

The active compound found in jewelweed, lawsone, is proven to have antihistamine and anti-inflammatory properties. The plant also contains balsaminones, which have strong antipruritic (anti-itch) properties.
