I am desperately seeking advice on how to treat a worsening case of poison oak. It is day 8 and still spreading in spite of initially using homeopathic 30X Rhus Tox, an herbal tincture astringent, then on to topical applications of vinegar and aloe vera, and now, finally and reluctantly, generic benadryl (an over-the-counter antihistamine) both topically and orally. It feels like it has become systemic now, although dissolving benadryl tablets in water and applying to the affected areas has brought some relief.
Has anyone out there found a successful way to treat this affliction without resorting to allopathic steroids? Hopefully, Deborah
