Poison Ivy Rash Relief/Paste

This is from Bulk Herb Store. I am posting and trying it out right now. My son has some sort of rash, we think poison ivy, that is itchy. Bentonite clay or diatomaceous earth and oatmeal are good for the itch relief, the lavender is a healing herb, and the alcohol helps to dry it up. This makes about 1/4 cup, enough for 1 application, or more, if it's not spread too far. Show more
