To:Don & Kathy From:Janice (Poison ivy)

[Guest guest]

Hi Don & Kathy, Kathy, thanks for offering advice about the poison

ivy with those little sugar pills but I'm going to take Don's advice

and go to my health food store today and buy some licorice tea. I've

been drinking rose hips tea but will switch to this licorice tea. I

didn't go back to the doctor because I don't want to get those shots

and would rather have this poison ivy heal naturally.

Don, what does DGL stand for?

Again, Kathy and Don thank you very much for your help.

Hugs, Janice from Ohio

I suggest you try taking some licorice/tea, not DGL, to help you heal

the poison ivy. The licorice should work to boost cortisol in your

system, which is what the shots do.

I haven't tried this to see if it works, since it has been several

years since I have had poisen ivy.

The homeopathic poison ivy pills do heal naturally.

DGL stands for De-Glycyrrhizinated Licorice. Licorice contains a

naturally occurring substance known as glycyrrhizin. It is that

substance that influences cortisol.

If you are not familiar with using licorice I should mention that

when consumed, glycyrrhizin has been shown to increase blood pressure

and water retention. So its use would be contradicted if you have

high blood pressure. It also causes potassium loss so make sure to

have a potassium rich diet while using it.
