Poison Ivy and Poison Oak

A word of caution regarding treatment of poison ivy and poison oak. I found that some references recommend the use of bloodroot. I would not recommend blood root for the treatment of poison ivy or oak.

Bloodroot contains morphine like alkaloids which will attack fast growing cells such as tumors. The primary action is to seal off the tumor and other things are required in order to destroy the tumor itself.

Stay with nature's cure for poison ivy and oak and that is jewelweed.
