Willow Tree

The first most crucial part is to find a willow tree. Make sure it is not a weeping willow tree but an actual willow tree. Once you find the willow tree, you need to harvest around 30-50 leaves. Just the leaves only. You do not need to take anything else.

Step Two

Place the willow leaves in a 2 quart sauce pan, fill it with cold water and bring the water to boil. Afterwards let the water boil until it gets dark like a brown tea. At this point you can turn the heat off and let this cool off.

Step Three

Once cooled, go ahead and pour everything into a mason jar or any canning jar you have available. It is now ready to be used. Simply take a cotton cloth and soak up some of the juice and place it on wherever you see poison ivy at. Whenever it itches put the juice on. In three days everything will be gone and no more itching.
