Trying to find some Jewelweed . I am wondering is this it??





Growing conditions are wet and swamp edges.

thats jewel weed in the pics

Sure looks like it. Seems to usually grow around the nasty stuff, poison ivy, nettles etc.

yep thats it.That is the most handy plant.I use it on everything.Bug bite ,sun burn,poison ivy even small scrapes and cuts.If the skeeters are real bad I smash it up and use as a so-so bug repellant.Stone root is better for the bugs tho...

yepper,,,,,,,,that'd be the critter

OK thx guys .
As almost all my research returns plants with a reddish stem, I wasn't sure.
I am on it now.
Thx again.

What do you do with it to save it, bottle it, freeze it, whatever?

gryhkl, it's best used fresh.....................i've never attemted to try and freeze it or bottle the juice.

I remember reading somewhere that recomended mashing up some plant and freezing in ice cube trays but I don't know if it was jewel weed or not. It is the same plant that is called "touch-me-not" correct?

Yes they are called Touch-me-nots....I have picked them and wrap a damp paper towel around them and keep the in the Frig crisper.They say about a week that way........

That may be what I seen in a youtube video.
She said she kept them in the freezer til needed.
Do a Jewelweed search in youtube and you get it right away.

I had tons of it in my woods, usually in wet areas, and lots of time close to where poisen ivy grew. Eventually it will have a small orange flower. The deer used to really mow mine down in a dry summer.

I found this today is it in flower now?

I am having hard time seeing a close up of your pics.
I will say yes, they are in flower around here right now.
If you would like a photo of some holler or PM me.
And I will walk over to the side yard and takes some.

I believe your picture is jewelweed.
A close-up of the flower,and of some leaves would help me.

I am pretty sure its jewel weed- sorry about cell pics...... so If it IS .how can My wife get the MOST relief from poisen ivy rash with it? Shes got it BAD...NOT bad enough for DR but BAD...

Break apart the thicker stems and crush the pulp inside enought to form juices. (very wet and pulpy inside). Rub on and in 15 min. or so you should have some results.
Since I have found jewelweed this summer its about all I grab for any skin irritations.
Also search youtube for jewelweed uses.
Alot of good videos on this available.

I walked out in the back and took few photos of the jewelweed patch.
Hope this helps you.
Extremely wet area almost water standing. Too wet to mow.
Plants are about shoulder high.
I have noticed it appears the plants in wooded areas are slightly darker green colored to me.

that looks like my place just missing a tractor sitting there in the middle...

Actually in the first Photo there is a 2 burner Charbroil gas grill with cover in the middle of that plant. LOL

no yours is missing MY tractor...LOL....sorry for misssunderstanding.
