I just found this video and in case someone hasn't answered the question...jewelweed is actually edible. It has a lot of minerals so you have to be very careful and not overdo it, it could cause an upset stomach. I'm not an herbalist so eat it at your own risk but from everything that I have read and tried on my own it is edible. My brother is very allergic to poison ivy and I'm actually going to boil this mixture way down and attempt to make some homemade soap with it in hopes of giving him some relief. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you.
I have been lucky this year and have not gotten poison ivy this year but when I do get it I get it bad! I end up at the docs getting steroid cream to put on it. I will def be looking for some of this at camp! Thanks Boss! Good video!
I don't do the summer work. I pass that on to a friend. The 5 1/2 months trap is enough. I use my summer for other things.
I followed your steps, and made the tea out of the jewel weed after I found some on a hike the other day. I put it on my son's diaper rash, and it cleared it up very quickly! Thanks for the awesome info...like usual! Have a good one, and keep up the great work!
I can't help but share this with you so here goes. I have dealt with poison ivy and things like that my whole life I can go into it with a weed eater or whatever . My grand daughter was the same way I talked to a Dr one time and he said some people just have oils on their skin that can fight it off better but don't push it because everyone after a while has it tear them up and sumac is worse. Well I worked for the city of Hendersonville, TN for a while and they had this thing called a sister City in Japan and they make certain parts of that City look just like their the lay out etc. Well one of the head honchos took it open himself to go online and just order some spreading plants that would throne that were from Japan and he ordered a invasive species of sumac that is Satan in a plant . They planted it because he told them it wasn't poisonous . They were tore up in the hospital and everything, they had to have a company come get it and destroy it and then I worked their the next year . They had forgot the fact that the winds was blowing when they planted it and the trailers they hailed it on was still holding it in dirt between the boards and the whole back paying lot had grown it and the buildings that they parked the machinery in . They told me go back to the back and get the Mini X and track loader , and trailer and the single axle low side dump truck .I got back their and brought out the first piece of equipment. Now you have to remember I'd never had poison ivy or poison sumac bother me . It was growing out of the dirt on the track loader and brushed up against my arm when I came up the lot and was going to ask is this the strain of sumac from Japan the greens are a little different than here. He tripped out here said oh my gosh didn't you say that stuff don't bother you . I said it never has but I hope this kind don't but that it's growing so over the back lot and in the dumptruck and even out of the gravel on the back lot. He ran and got me a ATV spray rig and said go back turn on the pumps and kill it all. Well I did and then went to the showers stepped off and scrubbed . The same evening I was at the Dr by the next day I had a severe wound on my arm where I remembered touching against it and it took lots of medications and a little over a year to heal it up . I have a scar from it but I know guys that have had to have spots cut out I know one guy that it took 16 months for his and had scares all over . I had a Amish Dr that made me a salve that healed it it may of had this in it idk. Anyway if ever around anything like this before careful , sorry for my rant.
LOL, yeah he's ok. Kept bringing me toys the whole time I was splitting wood this morning. These cubes are the only thing that knocks my rash down. Good stuff it is. Thanks for commenting.
No poison ivy here to worry about but this vid will help alot of people no doubt, free & works better, can't get any better than that ..!!
Never tried it on my dog but hey, you never know.
This is the only thing that works for me and I've tried everything. Not much progress on the dvds lately. I need to take more footage to fill in the blanks and I need trapping season to be here for that.
I have heard that too but I think the rumor is regarding another specie of plant with similar qualities, but not sure. I have never seen ivy growing near this. Thanks for watching.
I will have to keep an eye out for it next time in the woods. I heard that it likes to grow nearby poison ivy. As if nature is providing a curing-plant right alongside a toxic one. Amazing!
Thanks Boss! I love Jewelweed! Especially popping the seed pods😁.
That's amazing. I been hearing from folks that are using it for all kinds of skin issues with good results. The plant is even more amazing that I realized. Thanks for taking the time to write.
Not really. Most of the beaver meat gets consumed, the feet bones and claws get sold and even the skulls but I have a minimal market for the tails.
I don't know of any other way. Perhaps it could be ground and mixed with some sort of lotion and preserved but the cubes work good for me and feel good too.
I break into a royal rash from the beaver castor and this is the only thing that works for me. Awesome stuff it is.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
The stuff is awesome aint it? I'll be making my beaver lure soon and even with 2 pairs of gloves on I'll be breaking out like crazy. I'm armed with plenty of cubage now ha ha. No problem.
The stuff is magical I'll tell ya. If I handle too many flat tails my hands swell up like lobster claws. This is the only stuff that makes the itching and swelling disappear.
Does it matter what time of year you do this? I just put a bunch on the stove (mid-September in the mid-Atlantic), didn't seem to be pods or any liquids coming out of the stem(s) when I cut them.
Thank you. The itchy swollen rash I get from handling beaver fur is a real pain. I have suffered with this for years until I started using the jewelweed. I would think it would work for any itchy rash but can't say for sure.
Thanks for commenting.
I got into some cutting shooting lanes as well. I put the cube right to me and it never started itching. Love the stuff. Thanks for commenting.
This stuff works wonders on ivy rashes. I been having people write that they are having great results with eczema problems as well. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thanks buddy. The music comes from my collection of audio files. I think it came from the same place where you got the music for the channel trailer you had before.
Rich, The stuff works great. If you just break the stems and rub the liquid on the infected area it works great. The cubes allow me to use it all winter long.
Thanks for commenting.
The stuff works great buddy and is the ONLY thing that knocks my rash down from those fricken beavers.
Hey thanks for the great comment. I will be working on the cabin again soon and adding solar panels to the roof too. Lots of cool stuff in the works up here. Thank you for following my channel and commenting.
All the best to you.
Sometimes I have folks that want them for tanning and craft projects but otherwise they get tossed.
It's great stuff buddy. Nothing else works for my allergy to beavers. I just made a ton of cubes so I'm good for the season. Thanks for watching.
You are the second person to write to me that has used it on eczema with good results. That's fantastic. Thank you for writing.
You can find in roadside ditches and lowland meadows a lot. It's great stuff.
Sure, feel free to share any of my vids. Thanks for asking.
It works wonders I'll tell ya. Thanks for watching.
Outstanding news Garrett. That's awesome to hear that it works for that too. Thank you for letting me know.
All the best. JC
It's great stuff. You'll be glad you did. Thanks for subbing.
You will be glad you did. Good luck.
Thanks buddy. Hope you locate some.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Cool stuff. This would be useful if I ever get a rash or if someone I know has problems with them as I don't get rashes from poison ivy and oak since I play with it as a kid. Also the plant that cancels the poison in poison ivy grow right next to it. I cant remember the name but it look just like it but grow like bush and doesn't vine. I had to get it for my bro's sons when they got in poison ivy and it was a huge help as it stop the itching within an hour.
WildBillSteve's website tells a great deal about this plant.
This is one of the most wonderful remedies I've ever heard of... I'm allergic to poison Ivy and if I ever find this plant I'm getting some and making the cubes. This link says it's not poisonous and kids can eat the seeds. But drink a lot of water as it is a diuretic. Cool Thanks so much for this info.
I Cannot hit the like button hard enough! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Poison ivy grows like grass around here and like you, I've found the OTC remedies to be useless.
This is the only stuff that works for me. I keep ice cubes in the freezer at all times.
Thanks for commenting.
Glad you enjoyed the vid. Thanks for commenting.
Hew Boss; great informative video for all.Will research this plant here where we are.
Is "Frankie"ok ? didn't spot him or frizbee anywhere ? Stay Safe & Happy-Happy-Happy
Happy Trails From The Maritimes In Canada
excellent brother had no idea!!!! is there any way to preserve it without freezing it? funny, I am watching the video looking out the back door at a huge patch of it!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that.
Thank you so much for sharing I will search for this wonderful plant 🙏🙏🙏
Sorry Boss forgot to say never thought to make it in to ice cubes.Very cool Boss.No pun intended.Ha Ha.Jeff
It's the best stuff I've ever used buddy.
Thanks Boss, excellent video. We all should learn about the medicinal properties of our plants. I've never seen this plant ,but maybe one day.. Take care, from MA.
All I have access to is the yellow flowering type. Is this type okay? I have quite a drive to even get to this kind. We've had a horrible drought and the stalks are very dry despite this area being very shaded and normally marshy. I did not have time to cook the leaves down when I got home and they're now very dry. Any suggestions?
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
Will do. Thanks for watching
I love jewelweed , I've used it for years , it grows like weeds here ( pun intended) .
Great information right here! Thank you so much. Now to find this plant because I don't want to get this worsen 🥺
Wow!! What a blessing. I wish I had it in my yard, but no. I only have poisoning plants that kill me. Can you please tell me if they sell it anywhere
Hi Boss, I just noticed this video. I thought I recognized the plant as soon as you showed the flower, when you mentioned and showed the seed pod, I knew I was right. I have tons of this plant growing along the edge of the wetland behind my house. I never knew it was a good remedy for rashes. Now I know thanks to you. I personally really like the plant just to look at and admire it. Now it has a special duty for me.
One question for you though. Have you ever used it to ease any rashes on Frankie? My dogs react severely to even one little flea bite, so I am diligent in preveting that, but sometimes they get a bite, and a large itchy spot will be the result.
Thanks again for sharing, I really admire your unselfish attitude about living in and loving nature. Some day.....
+Terrence Brennan Hi Terrence, I have thought about using it on Frankie because he has skin issues but I need to find out if it's toxic to dogs first and so far have reached dead ends with that. I'd hate to put in on his skin and have him licking and chewing that spot and then find out it's toxic to them. It works wonders on humans for just about any skin irritation.
I love video's like this... Knowledge is a good thing and you can't this kind of information unless you get it from someone who knows it works... Thanks
It's the only thing that knocks the itch down for me. Great stuff.
Thank you
That is amazing stuff.
Thank you for sharing.
°•♡•°
Thank you Jacob.
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! Great video brother.
I have seen this stuff all over here in Michigan...I never knew what it was, I use to like just squeezing the seed pods as a kid, not that I knew there were seeds being exposed...Cool video buddy and I never knew what this was used for...
those seeds are edible. taste like a cross between a peanut and a sunflower seed. you just eat them fresh. also you can eat jewel weed as a green so long as its under 3 inches or so. it has to be young.by accident once i ate a bunch made like greens.lol i thought it was something else. it tasted good. but your not suppose to eat it once its full grown.
I don't believe i have seen jewel weed where i live , but i wish we did cause poison oak or ivy so bad .
Boss, is it ok, if i post the jewel week video on my facebook page?..andy
When you do your summer NWO work, do you send those furs to market too?
Great info, I get poison oak every year cutting fire wood. I'm not sure if we have jewel weed here in Oregon, but I'm going to find out. Thanks for sharing!
Yet another common sense video using nature's stores.
Great vid. Going to try on my dog tomorrow. I think she got swimmers itch yesturday.
Hello Boss I learned about jewel weed years ago.We here in Missouri also call it lady slippers.My son Mike got poison ivy so bad his eyes swelled shut..After an application of jewel weed it almost disappeared over night.Here in Missouri it is a protected species.I always harvested mine along creek beds and rivers.Jeff
+Jeff Long It's great stuff indeed. Never heard it called ladyslippers though. We have ladyslippers but they are a different plant altogether.
Man i can not stand poison ivy! It almost killed me twice. I would use you remedy but thank God there is no poison ivy here in Chile. Thanks for the cool vid. I do not miss poison ivy.
+ChileExpatFamily Wow! No poison ivy sounds like heaven to me.
how about treating Shingles?
Thank you sooooo much for that video. About Jewelweed. If you have any more good advice please tell us about them, you are best. Thanks
The jewelweed is a lifesaver. Great stuff.
another great video Boss.....will try it for sure.....you are teaching an old dog new tricks every day!! has our Boy Frankie doing!!
Thanks Frank. I keep these cubes on hand all year. They work great for all kinds of skin irritations. Frankie's doing great and you'll be seeing him soon.
Great video Boss. I immediately googled it after watching , and was very happy to see that it is prolific in British Columbia , where I live.. The jewel weed hunt is on! Keep up the great work.
Mike
Once you find it Mike, it can't be mistaken. The cubes I made in this video are still potent and I thaw one out every time I have a skin irritation.
It's leaves look very easy to identify, the parallel veins on the bottom look unforgettable. Thanks again for the tip.
krenov72 Glad to know its here in BC - my son has Poison Ivy on his ears...
I am wickedly allergic to poison ivy - thanks.. will be harvesting this here in central NY this spring / summer!!
It's the only thing that works for me. Good luck.
God bless you!!! I am suffering from a bad poison something rash on my face and between my fingers and I have been searching online here for ANYTHING that will help relieve it and help it heal. I stumbled across your video and as soon as I saw those pitcher flowers, I knew that was what the old farmer up the road suggested to use. I have some growing right in my backyard!! My daughter ran out and cut me some and I started rubbing the leaves on the rash and found immediate relief! Thank you again and again!
I keep these jewelweed ice cubes on hand and they're awesome. Eliminates any rash or itch :-)
I have had PI for most of the summer, UGG! saw your video.This really works well.I can now sleep.
Glad it helped!
I read somewhere that I could male a liniment by stuffing a mason jar with jewelweed stems, flowers, and leaves, and then pouring rubbing alcohol over it and letting it sit for 4 weeks. But I can't find that recipe now, and I'm wondering what to do with the jar after I let it sit. Do I strain the liquid, then just rub it on a rash?
I've never mixed it with alcohol so can't say how well that works. I make the jewelweed tea and then make jewelweed ice cubes with that. When I need it, I break a cube in half and let it thaw in a shot glass or similar vessel. Works like a charm on any skin irritation.
@thebossoftheswamp Thanks! I just made some of the ice cubes! I've never been so excited to get a bug bite so I can try them out! 😅
Hey jc I have madjor issueswith poison ivy I'm highley allergic to it. Didn't find out till I was working in a plant nursery in mo. It was hot and boy I was wiping the sweat frommy eyes and forhead. The next morning I couldn't open my eyes. I told my partner I thought I was blind, course she took me to the clinic there they said I had the worst case of poison ivy they had ever seen. I tell you I got 5 shots in the keister and was laid up for 4 days. My partner had to lead me around, my face was so swollen I looked lime a blowed up hot air balloon. That was back in 2002 wished that I had that remedy back then. Instead of those damned shots. But your plant grows abundantly up here. So heads up on the cure thanks
For many years my hands would swell up and bubble and itch during the fall and winter while I was trapping. I couldn't figure out how I was getting poison ivy so bad that that time of year. I finally realized it was the beaver fur that I was allergic to. Nothing ever worked to take the itch and swelling down until I tried the jewel weed on it. Now I use the cubes for any skin irritation with great success. Love the stuff.
👍
I great posion ivy bad, thanks for the tip
My buddy had sumac rash went to Dr but it just keep spreading. A friend made a tea from weeds. Within a day or two it dried up. Just wondering if it was juel weed
Probably was.
I am from Missouri and I did not know this remedy..TY for sharing this..I do like harvesting wild chamomile to make tea with ..It is great for many ailments..Any more vids for using wild plants as medicine would be great..Thanks again Boss. :)
My backyard is LOADED with this plant! Thanks for the video!
Great to know, thanks Boss 🙏
look at 245. thats poison ivy growing next to it. it will grow, in a natural environment, along with the poisonous plants that it works against. just a note of what ive found out about it over the last 20 or so years.
+River rat The curse and the cure side by side :-)
Great idea with the ice cube :)
Its hard to preserve this plant its why i havent bothered
You want the juicy parts of this plant so drying it makes no sense and can be difficult because of the juice
Also using fats to draw it out probably would not work because we want the water juice properties
Ice on rash i can imagine that would feel great
I seen someone making a plantain Jewel weed salve these be better together for stings burns rashes scrapes etc a kid frezer kit too lol
Thanks
Nice. When I was a kid in northern PA we called them snap dragons because of the seed pods poppin. No idea they were useful for more than child's amusement. Loveyourvidoes!
WOW, This is very nice to know about. Wonder where you find it in the city?
Look in drainage ditches. It likes to grow in wet areas.
You might like a homeopathic remedy called RhusTox. Found at health food stores. I start taking it in the spring once or twice a week and if I see that I have touch poison ivy I wash good and take one or two and have not had any reactions to PI ln years. You can get it by petting Frank too. I will also look for jewel weed plants. Thanks
thank you for this video... will hunt some down.
C Drought You won't be sorry. The stuff is excellent.
Never heard of that ! Such useful information. !! Thanks so much !!
good plant to know about, thanks!!
After watching this video, I collected and made a batch of ice cubes. I picked up some poison ivy on my forearm from cutting shooting lanes the other day. Today it started to itch. Jewel cube out of the freezer on to the rash, and relief, the stuff does work, well, and quickly.
made some on tuesday. used it on my wife's exima, don't know how to spell that, but it seems to be healing. and the itching has stopped. she says it tingles. thank you for the vid.
i grow it next to my rain barrels. this year its all over my property lol
+River rat Good stuff to have close by :-)
I had tons of it in my woods, the deer loved it. They would mow it down. I only used the juice in the stalk part to rub on rashes after splitting it open with my thumbnail. I always wanted to put a bunch of it through a food processor and make a salve.
I'll have to make a batch of this up for my Father inlaw. I have never seen anybody so allergic to Poison Ivy. Me I can walk through the stff with no issues. Great video as usual
