Welcome to Kirsten's Herbal Garden...POISON OAK

Poison Oak is known for its clusters of three leaves, and its red color, though it does not always look red. The poison oak in the picture above was located along a river bank, next to a waterfall. Be careful when walking in unknown areas for this herb that will pester and bother you long after you leave it, if you are not careful! If you do get poison oak, one natural remedy to help ease the pain is to make a paste out of baking soda and water and smear it over the infected area. This can help reduce the burning and itching.
