subject: Wasp Stings and Three Effective Treatments [print this page] Author: Madeleine Innocent Author: Madeleine Innocent
When you treat wasp stings, its worth bearing in mind, that they are similar to bee stings. Its just that wasps are less common than bees.
But a typical symptom picture of a bee sting, and so a wasp sting is:
the pain of the bite is stinging and burning in nature the site starts to swell quite quickly the appearance of the swelling is rosy red the swelling is hard, tight the pain is relieved by cold applications, but worsen with hot If this picture looks like the symptoms you have when stung, then the homeopathic medicine Apis is likely to treat your sting very effectively. Not only that, but if you have an apparent weakness in either getting stung, or in your overall inability to deal with stings, then Apis is also likely to work at a chronic or deep level.
In other words, if Apis is a good and effective acute medicine for any wasp stings, then it will improve your immune system, so that you can deal with them better as time goes by. Until they disappear all together.
Its a very empowering feeling, that you can use homeopathic home prescribing medicines in acute situations, without knowing very much. And it will also work at a deeper level, going towards totally resolving the acute problem.
The quicker you start on the Apis, after the sting, the quicker will be the result. The long you leave it, the longer it will take to heal.
This may be fine when you are stung at home and can access the medicine. But if you are out, without your home prescribing kit, what do you do?
Putting vinegar on the sting is the best topical treatment of wasp stings. And if you cant get hold of any vinegar, then your urine is also good. Unsavoury as that thought may be, you will never be caught without urine!
Apis works as well on animals with the same symptom picture, as it does on people.About the Author:
