| Just a guess..but I'd think you need to steep either in your oils first... Here's some instructions for using Jewelweed in MP Soap..but maybe you could boil the plant in the water for your CP...
Jewelweed Soap
Ingredients
2 cups glycerin soap
1/2 cup jewelweed maceration (gather blooming jewelweed and boil in 1/2 cup water)
7 drops sweet orange oil
2 drops of orange coloring Instructions
Melt glycerin in double boiler or slowly in microwave. Add jewelweed maceration, stir until slightly cooled. Add fragrance and color. Pour into molds. Cool.
You can find jewelweed growing next to poison ivy...it has a little orange jewel like flower. It is used to heal the rash caused by poison ivy. |

| Well Jewelweed is indeed a "help" to dispell poison ivy.. I'm not a soaper myself, and I don't make anything that needs to be "steeped"...so I can't be more specific from personal experience.. I would think the leaves, stem and flower...just not the roots... |
