Last summer when Appalachian herbalist and forager Last summer when Appalachian herbalist and forager, Darryl Patton taught me that you can create immunity to poison ivy’s urushiol by ingesting it I was floored. 😳 The man plucked a leaf off the vine and swallowed it right there in front of me (he’s been doing this a long time folks, don’t try it this way at first). After the shock wore off I realized it made perfect sense! It’s simply a form of inoculation and like treating like. 🌿

Darryl Patton was taught by his mentor Tommie Bass that if you take 1-3 small leaves about the size of a mouse’s ear (the smaller the leaf the less urushiol) and fold them up in bread eat them every couple of days for two weeks you’ll be immune to Poison Ivy. It worked for him and lots of others who have also tried it. Eventually he became so immune that he could pluck off the leaves straight from the vine and eat them! 

Thankfully I have never had a reaction to Poison Ivy that I can remember so I have yet to try this but I am completely fascinated by the concept and believe it to work. Have you heard of this way to gain immunity against Poison Ivy or tried it? 

Another option would be to use the homeopathic remedy Rhus toxicodendron prophylactically. Homeopath Joette Calabrese recommends administering four doses of Rhus tox 30 in one day at the onset of the season and then repeating this one day per week for one month to minimize the intensity of the exposure.

PSA your liver (and your gut) is where histamines PSA your liver (and your gut) is where histamines are broken down. If you have a sluggish liver then histamines are likely building up in your body causing allergies and histamine intolerance. 🤧 But there’s good news! We can support our liver with hepatic herbs like Milk thistle, Dandelion root, Turmeric, Licorice root and Artichoke.
