Jewelweed is fantastic. It grows in wet areas, along creeks. We pick it, boil in a pot until it's like dark tea. Keep a gallon jug in refrigerator. Pour some in a saucer on a folded paper towel. Place that on affected area. Instant relief and right now is the time to harvest it, it's in bloom.
If none on your place look for it on back roads wherever a creek is.
