Spring is upon us, and that brings many beautiful things….

Nice warm weather…blue skies…

…and the inevitable, unfortunate, bug bite or sting.

HERE ARE homeopathic REMEDIES ASSOCIATED traditionally WITH BUg bites & stings:

NOTE: in cases of severe allergic reactions (difficulty breathing, swelling of face/throat, or fainting), bypass this list and seek immediate emergency medical care calling 911 (if in the US).

1. Apis:

Apis is commonly thought of as the “go-to” remedy for any type of allergic or sudden onset rash/reaction. This remedy can be chosen for bites or stings with swelling, redness, or itching. May feel warm/hot to the touch.

2. Histaminum:

Tendency to get overly inflamed from things like mosquito bites. Reactions can appear as rashes, hives, or redness. Symptoms can be worse from heat and better from pressure.

3. Ledum:

For bites or puncture wounds that are cooler to the touch or even bluish. This type of reaction does not typically have swelling associated with it. The sensation may feel throbbing. Can be a great choice for wasp bites.

4. Urtica Urens:

For bites or stings that turn into hives. Rash can look red and raised and have a desire to rub the area. May also be accompanied by burning pains.

5. Hypericum:

For any shooting or nerve pains from bites or stings. Great for stings in any areas that have a high volume of nerves – think of fingertips, eyes, lips, etc.
