REMEDIES: Bite and Sting Poultice (OILS, HERBS)

[Guest guest]

Bite and Sting Poultice

 

1 Tablespoon echinacea root tincture

1 Tablespoon distilled water

1/8 teaspoon lavender essential oil

1 Tablespoon bentonite clay

 

Combine the tincture, water and lavender essential oil.

 

Add this mixture to the clay, stirring slowly as the liquid is absorbed.

The resulting paste should be tacky enough to adhere to the skin. Apply

directly to bite as needed.

 

Store this remedy in a container with a tight fitting lid, so that the

mixture will not dry out. If it does dry out, stir in enough distilled

water to turn it back into a paste.

 

You must remember, though, that applying a poultice is only the first

step in treating the bites and stings that might cause an allergic reaction.

 

Give anyone who is susceptible to the reactions half a teaspoon of

echinacea tincture every ten minutes.

 

You must remember though, that allergic reactions can have serious

consequences. If you know someone is allergic to a bite or sting from a

particular insect, do not depend solely on herbal first-aid... immediate

medical attention is required. Wheezing, swelling and hives are all

indications of a serious, possibly fatal problem that requires immediate

medical attention.

Would this also work for a rash like Poison Ivy? If there are other

things that would work better, I would be grateful for suggestions of

other mixtures or where too look..

Yes, I would think so Deb. The clay would dry it out and the lavender

and echinacea would soothe it and promote healing. If you try it,

please let us know how it works.

 

I would also suggest homeopathic Rhus Tox for poison ivy. That works

like a charm every time!

 

Peace,

Many people on my herb list are finding that chaparral works great on pi.

Mostly they have used chap infused oil, but a chap tea works too. It takes

the itch right out and helps dry up the rash.

My other half is prone to poison ivy. I'll try it next time there's

an outbreak and let you know. Thank you!
