Homemade Poison Ivy Relief Spray
Supplies
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon of 190-proof alcohol OR the highest-proof alcohol you can find
- ½ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt OR sea salt, ground
- 1 tablespoon organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar
- Purified OR distilled water to fill the rest of the bottle
- 1 drop Lavender essential oil
- 1 drop Roman Chamomile essential oil
- 1 drop Eucalyptus essential oil
- 1 drop Peppermint essential oil
Instructions
- Add essential oils to alcohol, stir, and add to the bottle.
- Mix water and apple cider vinegar in a separate container.
- Dissolve sea salt in water/vinegar mix.
- Carefully add to the EO mixture in the spray bottle to fill and mix together.
- Store in a glass bottle no more than 2 days before using.
- Spray the infected area as needed and rinse off with cool water to break up and wash away the oils of the poison ivy.
Notes
At least 60% alcohol is necessary to sanitize the hands, but this concentration is insufficient for solubilizing essential oils. So, shake the bottle before each use.
