How To Use A Dock Leaf To Soothe Nettle Stings

[Adoggett1]

can you make a bottle of liquid from a dock leaf and carry it around to treat nettle stings ?

[maveraver]

@Adoggett1 - cant see why not, but i reckon it would go off prety quickly, no need to that in all honesty as docks are everywhere so there is always one handy if you need it.

How long does one treatment last for?

It's an astringent, causing the skin cells to contract. An old favorite, used many times. I go for the liquid method, rather than the poultice. I have seen people rubbing leaves up an down their arm, like a piece of sandpaper. It will work that way, but it will be raw for a while. Basic knowledge, but it's always the simple things that are often overlooked.

@cujomojo2007 - the liquid is way way better than the poultice, but i thought i would show both, either way has to be better than rubbing a leaf up and down on an already inflamed area of skin
