As with other types of conditions, poison oak also has its share of home remedies. Here is one that caught my attention last summer when I had to deal with this terrible rash: using vinegar and baking soda. After trying it, I saw a great improvement in the stat of the rash and I think it healed pretty quickly. Not only that, but I hear many people online with the same “success story”.
How does this home remedy for poison oak works?
You need to make a paste using the baking soda and the vinegar, until it has a consistence of peanut butter. Once you have this – preferably on a bowl – you enter the shower, and while letting the cool water run on the affected areas, rub vigorously the mixture on the affected areas. Now, this may cause discomfort, and soreness, but once the skin recovers, it will be much, much better!
Now, if you want to try this do it at your own peril, I was pretty desperate, but it may not be recommended for strong cases of poison oak rash.
