there is a plant that grows all over the woods here called poison ivy

it causes incredible itching if you make even the slightest contact with it.


The First Nations cure or relief for arthritis and rheumatism was to put poison ivy on the joint, cover it with the inside bark from a cedar tree, wrap it tightly, and sleep with it.


Apparently the distress caused by the dermatitis was supposed to outweigh and thus hide the pain of the arthritis
