Part used

Juicy stems, same day you meet the ivy

Gather

Wet shade, creek edges, July–September. Orange spotted snapdragons, exploding seed pods.

Tea

Tincture

Other

Mash a handful, paint the juice on, let dry, repeat. A strong tea in a spray bottle keeps a day in the icebox.

It soothes; it does not make you immune. Wash with soap first. Not a drink.
