Sept. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- PoisonIvyCure.net has found a number of herbal remedies that are used to treat the rash caused by the poison ivy plant. They make it their job to find only the best and only the most effective treatments that will help to relieve the itch and make your child more comfortable. After months of research they have put a list together full of everything that they have learned and all of the treatments that are both effective and inexpensive.

We teach our children to avoid the ‘bad plants’ that could hurt them when they are playing outside. To better make sure that they understand we teach them the “leaves of three let them be…” that we used when we were children to know to stay away from the poison ivy plant that would make them itch and burn all over. But just like when we were children they didn’t always remember or didn’t want to. Our children can get curious and because of that we have to be prepared to take action!

New herbal remedies are being discovered on almost a daily basis and the owners at PoisonIvyCure.net have spent months accumulating the most effective remedies to treat the poison ivy rash. It was not an easy search for them to undertake. They were forced to sift through the treatments that were labeled as ‘remedies’ but were nothing more then hoaxes. For example; they found one that required you to pour bleach onto the rash. This was an obvious hoax because bleach is a powerful chemical that should never be mixed with other chemicals and should never touch our bare skin because it will burn.

Some however were not as easy to crack. Because of this they required tests to ensure that each method was fool proof. One by one they sorted out the truth from the lies and the remedies from the hoax.

The remedy that belongs on the top of the list is the use of calamine lotion. Calamine is a common treatment for any type of rash and is more often used to treat sunburns and also to prevent infections. Letting your child soak in hot water is an easy way to calm them down and to help dry out the infected areas. According to the site, when the infected skin dried out it will peel off and make way for the healthy skin underneath to grow. The hot water helps to speed up the process. Hot air may also be used in place of hot water.

There are many more remedies that can be found at PoisonIvyCure.net and much more information to discover. They make it their job to inform parents what the plant is, what it can do to your children, and what you can do to avoid it. Take advantage of these great herbal remedies!
