Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 If you aren't prone to go to the hospital, just because of the nature of the brown recluses venom, can you perform lymphatic massage on her? There is a definite technique, but you can more than likely find it in Google. I used to do this massage (full body) on my late Mother when she had cancer, but I had to learn from a tape. On 7/4/09, Bobbie Smith <bobbiedsmith wrote: I'm not expert or medical personbut I was bitten twice by a brown recluse spider - once on my arm and once on my anklethe one on my arm i didnt catch until about 3-4 days later when my arm was completely swollen and had blisters on top of blisters where the venom went in used thyme, tea tree and lavender essential oils (on a bandage on the bite) and it went away in about a week and a half (the one on my arm that went several days)the one on my ankle iknew immediately what it was, sed the tea tree, thyme and lavender on it and it was gone in less than 3 days i dont know if that's what her problem is, but if you can find a bite mark somewhere, that's where you apply the oils -- i noticed on both of mybites, i had very distinct two hole bitesmy son - when bitten by fire ant (or ants) swells and it moves up his body -- i treat the same way as above, but also soak him in the oils in tub as well - he is highly allergic to ant bites, but the oils help him heal in just a few days' time Bobbie Smith michael hollihn <michaelhollihn No Reply <notify-dg-herbal remedies > Cc: herbal remedies Sent: Saturday, July 4, 2009 1:22:57 AM {Herbal Remedies} swollen ankle, now leg hello all,my wife had a swollen ankle yesterday, she thought from a spider bite,but not sure, maybe mosquito and lots of scratching, now the lower legis swollen also...any thoughts on what to do?...we are soaking in strong baths of yarrow, plantain, sage and cayenne...taking echinaceatincture...and bathing in epsom salts...any other thoughts would bewelcome...our thoughts are that the toxins are moving towards thelymph in the upper leg? kind thanksmichael -- Faith is believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
