subject: Insect Bites and Three Natural Ways to Treat Them Effectively [print this page] Author: Madeleine Innocent Author: Madeleine Innocent
Insect bites are normally painful. It always amazes me how such a tiny animal can impart so much pain onto someone millions of times larger. Some people are not badly effected by any insect bite, but others are badly affected, even suffering anaphylactic shock as a result.
Bee, wasp and ant stings are probably at the top of list as far as the seriousness of the condition is.
Lets have a look at the typical appearance of these:
the bite has a stinging or a burning pain the site swells up quite quickly with a red appearance the swelling is rosy, indicating a tightness, a hardness cold applications brings some relief, hot applications make the pain worse If this is your typical reaction to insect bites, then the homeopathic medicine Apis is likely to resolve the whole thing in record time, for you. And the sooner you manage to take it, after the bite, the more effective it will be.
It will relieve the pain and the swelling will start to melt away.
However, if youre not equipped with a good homeopathic home prescribing kit, which will always include Apis, then the next best thing is to put some vinegar on the site. This will greatly relieve the pain. It may take longer, but is still effective.
And if you havent got any vinegar, then put some of your urine on the site.
This may not be everyones ideal treatment of insect bites, but as a bush medicine, its excellent. Youll always be able to pass a little, enough for your treatment.
These measures are just as effective with animals who have been bitten, as it is with humans.About the Author:
