My brother has an herbal plant called jewelweed growing in his backyard. The oil from the leaves from this plant actually stops the itching and helps the rash to heal. It's amazing. You can find jewelweed products on herbalremedies.com. Good luck everyone. I grew up battling poison ivy yearly, so I know what everyone is going through - I've got it again and I'm going to visit my bro - why suffer. Try jewelweed.
