poison ivy helper?

This morning I felt a nasty itch on my arm. I looked at it and saw the tell-tale signs of the dreaded poison ivy. Little read bumps itched on my forearm like crazy!! I looked into my medicine cabinet and tried to see what I can put on it. Right in front of me was the rose hip seed oil that I bought not too long ago. I bought it, not of the relief of poison ivy, but rather for other purposes (which I will get into later.) I dabbed a few drops on my arm and hoped for the best! Well, I am happy to report that the oil worked as an itch-relief! I have used the rose seed oil before without any reaction. I would test first before you use it in large doses! There is barely a scent, so it is not overpowering. I bought a 1 fl. oz bottle of NOW brand rose hip seed oil for $6.99. I am sure you can find it by other brands and perhaps cheaper.
Now, the reason I bought the rose hip seed oil in the first place was because I heard so many great things about its healing properties. It is high in omega-6 fatty acids for the skin. It helps fight dry skin, heal scars, fight wrinkles, reduces redness, and a whole slew of other beneficial things. I read about it in a health book and figures for its low price, how can I resist!
