Impatiens is the healing of Mother Nature Poison Ivy miracle and more. Jewelweed is best known for its healing properties of the skin.

The leaves and the juice from the stalk of Jewelweed are used by herbalists to treat poison ivy and other plant induced rashes, and many other types of dermatitis. Eager works cons-reaction with other chemicals in plants
cause irritation. Poultices and ointments Jewelweed are a folk remedy against bruises, burns, cuts, eczema, insect bites, sores, sprains, warts, and ringworm.

Impatiens bloom from May to October in eastern North America from southern Canada into the northern part of Florida. It is found most often in moist woods, usually near poison ivy or stinging nettle. Impatient often grows on the edge of the creek beds. It is difficult to transplant and seeds do not keep well, it should not be cultivated as it becomes powerful and is spread by birds eating the seeds and other ways that are difficult to control.

It is a weed / wildflower that grows in abundance along the banks of road and almost everywhere else in the mountains. Wherever you find more and more, there will be a thicket of them higher than the knees. The plant is a succulent annual ANDS dies after falling into the lower gel.

In summer they are covered with beautiful flowers. There are two varieties: one that blooms yellow flowers and bright orange. Both varieties have erupted when the pods mature at once on being hit, hence the common name of "Do not touch me."

The flowers resemble snapdragons, but are suspended from the plant maintains the delicate little thin.

Being beautiful is not all there is to the Impatiens. If you have accidentally brushed against the plant of the nettle, you know the results. Immediately place will start itching and burning and may even blister if you are particularly sensitive. Curiously, as if Mother Nature intended it, cons Jewel Weed usually develops near nettle and it says that if you rub the leaves once weed Jewel on site, itching and tingling will disappear. American Indians also used as a remedy against poison ivy by
squeezing the juice from the Jewel Weed on the affected area. I also read stories of old women by mixing it with lard. Not enough smell, but you worked!

The name "Impatient" comes from the quality waterproof sheets, causing dew and rain to bead up and sparkle in the sun. If you are affected by poison ivy, poison ivy, or athletes foot, relief can sometimes be had by crushing Jewelweed stems and apply the sticky dough in the areas affected.

We normally make a Jewelweed soap made with shea butter and goat milk. He is currently out of stock until our factories produce new. We lost our factories and are sold from this Jewelweed soap we had left. We hope to have a new batch of leaves at harvest this summer and start doing our famout Jewelweed Goat milk soap very soon! Thank you! (If you are in urgent need of relief from Poison Ivy, try a little oatmeal soap or ointment as an alternative because it is too drying for light bulbs and very healing.)
