Oral Ivy™ is a safe, effective, and economical way to prevent and treat ivy, oak, and sumac poisoning. Just take five drops a day in water. Oral Ivy stimulates your body's natural defenses against these poisonous plants.

Lewis E. Miller, a 1926 graduate of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy & Science, developed Oral Ivy. Dr. Elmer R. Gross of the Department of Dermatology, Temple University School of Medicine, did an exhaustive study on Oral Ivy beginning 1952. His report, "Desensitization to Poison Ivy," was published in Medical Times 84 (September 1956), 921-923. A detailed account of his work, "An Oral Antigen Preparation in the Prevention of Poison Ivy Dermatitis," was published in Industrial Medicine and Surgery 27 (March 1958), 142-144.

Directions For Prevention:

3 to 5 drops in 2 ounces of water once daily by mouth 7-14 days before exposure and continuing throughout the poison ivy season.

For Treatment of Symptoms:

10 drops in 2 ounces of water every 2 hours as needed. As symptoms improve, decrease to once every 4 hours, then twice daily until symptoms disappear. Hold in mouth for approximately 10 seconds before swallowing.

Oral Ivy is made by Boericke & Tafel, Inc. of Santa Rosa, California, a manufacturer of homeopathic products since 1835.
