Quitch Jewelweed Salve
$8.99
Our Quitch jewelweed salve provides fast-acting, natural itch relief by tapping into the herbal power of jewelweed and plantain.
Jewelweed has been used for centuries to counteract poison ivy, while plantain leaves and poultices are a natural remedy for bug bites, scratches, and stings.
Each two ounce jar of Quitch is handmade on our Tennessee farm and starts with wild-harvested jewelweed and plantain herbs.
We infuse those herbs in oil and add just the right amount of beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil, and jojoba oil to create a natural herbal salve that absorbs quickly.
We add natural essential oils such as lavender, peppermint, and rosemary and hand-whip each batch of Quitch. This gives our jewelweed salve a lighter consistency than many handmade salves and creams, making it smooth and easy to apply.
Quitch jewelweed salve ingredients: Shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, beeswax, jojoba oil, rice bran oil, peppermint oil, lavender oil, rosemary oil, Impatiens capensis (jewelweed), and Plantago major (broadleaf plantain).
Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) is native to North America, with orange jewelweed most commonly used in salves and creams.
You might know jewelweed by the name “touch-me-not”, as its seed pods have projectile seeds that explode and pop when they are touched or brushed against.
Jewelweed contains high levels of naphthoquinones, which are naturally-occurring compounds that can be effective topical anti-inflammatories and fungicides.
Naphthoquinones have shown effectiveness in some studies in counteracting urushiol, which is the oily organic compound present in poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac.
How To Use Jewelweed Salve
Most jewelweed salves are designed to be used for poison ivy but we also add in broad-leaf plantain (Plantago major) to each batch of Quitch that we make on the farm.
Customers use Quitch for poison ivy but also for cuts, scrapes, bug bites, and stings. Simply scoop out a bit of Quitch with your fingers and then rub into the affected area — a little bit goes a long way!
We never add any alcohols or preservatives and the base for our jewelweed salve recipe (coconut oil, shea butter, cocoa butter, and rice bran oil) is loaded with skin-friendly moisturizers.

Quitch is truly a miracle salve!
After repeated brushes with poison ivy this summer, and using smooshed jewelweed that thankfully, was readily available – but not convenient to bring with me, I went online to find a ready made preparation I could take on my gardening jobs.
Shafer Springs Farms QUITCH seemed like the perfect remedy, so I ordered some, but wasn’t expecting much just in case it wasn’t effective for me.
WAS I EVER HAPPILY SURPRISED!!! Quitch worked EVEN BETTER than I imagined – each time the tell tale blisters began to itch, I applied QUITCH and within 20 minutes the awful itching disappeared – often for 8-10 hours!! Best of all, QUITCH salve actually helped to heal the inflammation and made the duration of each episode MUCH shorter.
Now I keep QUITCH in my bag so it’s ALWAYS close by.
This is the BEST $8.99 investment an outdoor lover can make – and it works!
