Poison Ivy Remedy: Meet Yellow Giant Hyssop (new video lesson)
I am often asked: “What do I like to use once a poison ivy rash develops?” One of my go to plants is Yellow Giant Hyssop.
This stately Native American perennial, scientifically called Agastache nepetoides of the Lamiaceae family, helps us to get rid of poison ivy rashes, as well as to prevent them. I am excited for you to ID, harvest, and use this topical herbal remedy.
Yellow Giant Hyssop is astringent and drying. Use leaves and tender stems fresh throughout the growing season. Mash into pulpy juicy mass and apply juice thoroughly over the rash. Apply plant bits along with juice, or you can strain out the plant particles, if they feel irritating.
Apply plant juice to rash gently but thoroughly by dabbing on; do not rub on. Leave juice on skin and don’t wash off. Reapply throughout the day. If making quantities, store in the fridge and use up within a few days. Use a food processor for making larger quantities (you may need to add a few drops of water when pureeing).
Prevention is best! Yellow Giant Hyssop prevents urushiol (the irritating substance in poison ivy) from binding with our skin. Right after contact with poison ivy, apply Yellow Giant Hyssop’s juices all over the exposed area as we do with Jewelweed; see our Jewelweed video here: • Prevent Poison Ivy Ras...
