Kitchen Quickie: Bee Stings
I guess this one is only a kitchen quickie because it’s where I keep my remedies for bee stings.
Yesterday, while happily lazing in the pool on a beautiful Father’s Day afternoon, I grabbed a bee when I was trying to grab the floatie. It hurt like the dickens! (Though, I dare say the bee suffered worse than I.)
I got out of the pool and immediately went to the kitchen to grab a dose of Apis 200c. Things improved quickly but I could still feel it. I repeated Apis. The pain remained about the same this time. Not bad, but there was room for improvement.
A while later, I grabbed a cold can and it felt so good on my sting!
Aha! Ledum was the answer.
Bee stings:
If it feels worse by heat: Apis.
If it feels better for cold: Ledum.
Watch where you’re grabbing this summer!
