This Hyland product has Rhus tox 6x, Croton tiglium 6x(croton oil), and Xerophyllum 6x (basket grass flower).
All I can say is that I will NEVER go to the woods again without this

No need to apologize, Lynne...I, and many others, have enjoyed great success with Rhus 
Tox -- three pellets stopped the itching and spreading of the lesions almost instantaneously. 
I used the Boiron brand that's available in most health food and whole-foods stores for 
about $3. Homeopathy is an elegant and extremely effective form of healing -- when you've 
got the right remedy, it works. In researching an article recently on alternative therapy 
education, I learned that the British Institute of Homeopathy and Complementary Medicine 
now offers a home-study course in veterinary homeopathy. Their number is 310/577-2235 
if anyone is interested in learning more.
