Stings are fairly common and easily dealt with using natural remedies. If an allergic reaction occurs seek the advice of a doctor.

Plantain can ease the pain and reduce swelling. Chew the leaf in your mouth and apply the masticated leaves as a poultice to the sting.

Lavender oil* can be applied directly to a sting.

Rescue remedy* If the person who has been stung is in distress, five drops taken on the tongue will work to calm the patient.

Aloe vera can be applied to the affected area. Split a leaf and spread the juice onto the skin.
