Jewelweed, Impatients capensis, is best known as a remedy for poison ivy, and can be found growing next to each other often.

Jewelweed is good for:

• poison ivy
• poison oak
• poison sumac
• skin rashes
• muscle sprains
• sore muscles
• headache
• stomach ache

I foraged this plant in central Minnesota.

I use the folk method for making all my tinctures, which uses no measurements except sizing things up with your eyes. So I put the plant material in a jar and then fill with alcohol.

Dosages -

Use externally only!

A number of people are allergic to jewelweed, so use with caution.
