Plant Allergies

I have this poison ivy like rash on my arms that itches like crazy. I tried just lavender, but it didn't take the itch away. I found that lavender, then lemon, then pepperment helped take the itch away for several hours. I needed to reapply two to three times a day for a few days. My arms feel much better.

I also found that the areas that really bubbled - I needed to blot with kleenex or something else to get rid of the oozing liquid. A bandaid can be used, but only for a short time or the rash doesn't have a chance to dry and then becomes worse.
