Benefits for Poison Ivy.

Natures Comfort Benefits for Poison Ivy

Poison ivy is a type of allergenic plant in the genus Toxicodendron native to Asia and North America. Poison Ivy can cause red, swollen skin, blisters and severe itching. This skin reaction sometimes happens within just a few hours of encountering contact with the plant. A poison ivy rash usually goes away within 1 to 2 weeks, but for some people with high sensitivity, it can last for a month. The extracts in our Natures Comfort Oil are highly anti-bacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory so they can assist the body with the production of cytokines including interleukins (ILs) and TNF-α, and other natural growth factors, of which platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is perhaps the most important for healing. The key to any allergic reaction is to
reduce swelling from the histamine response which is just the body trying to remove the toxin in its own way. Our product works on Poison Ivy, Poison Oak and Poison Sumac.
