urtiga
Explanation:
O Rhus Tox é um remédio da Homeopatia que é a defensora da cura pelo semelhante. Por isso acho que o texto deve estar se referindo a isso.

urtiga, Hera daninha


Explanation:
Webster- Date: 1784 a : a climbing plant (Rhus radicans) of the cashew family that is especially common in the eastern and central U.S., that has ternate leaves, greenish flowers, and white berries, and that produces an acutely irritating oil causing a usually intensely itching skin rash

Poison Ivy e' um tipo de erva daninha que provaca irritacoes na pele, quando em contacto... a dor e parecida com muitas picadas de abelhas..., somente uma outra erva tipo samambaia contra age seu veneno...( Eu nunca vi algo parecido no Brasil, e acredito que urtiga e' o que mais perto descreve esse ivy... que por sinal, eu detesto. Ja levei uns ataques desta planta.

seria essa erva a tal recomendada pra assadura de bebe? isso nao faz sentido pra mim, mas em todo caso..
