All Natural Bee And Wasp Sting Treatment That Works!

Last summer both my mom and daughter ended up with nasty wasp stings. I used this treatment on both of them and within minutes they both saw relief.

My daughter got stung right on the face near her ear. She does not handle pain well so I was excited to see how quickly she felt better.

This treatment is simple and only uses natural ingredients. If you haven't noticed yet I use a lot of lavender oil around here. It seems to be my go to when one of the kids has a skin issue.

Ok, here we go...

You will need some bentonite clay and lavender oil for this treatment. As well as some sort of gauze and wrap to hold everything on. Whatever you have on hand should work.

To start with take about a tablespoon or so of the bentonite clay and mix it in a small bowl until you get a thick paste. You want it to be able to stick to the skin.

Next you want to apply one drop of lavender oil directly on the sting. Check to make sure the stinger is out. If it is still there this treatment will help, but it will continue to hurt until the stinger is removed. If the stinger is still in it will continue to deliver poison to the wound causing pain.

After you are sure the stinger is out and you have applied the lavender oil take a small spoonful of the bentonite clay mixture and place it on the sting.

My daughter could not figure out why I was putting mud on her. She thought it was a little weird, but I didn't hear any complaining once she figured out it worked.

After you have the oil and clay in place you want to keep it there. The best way I have found to do this is to cover the sting with some gauze.

Next you want to hold the gauze in place. I happened to have some medical tape so I used it to tape the gauze on. An ace bandage would work as well.

After you have everything in place allow it to sit for an hour or so. You can replace the clay as needed until the pain is gone. In my experience we have only had to maybe replace everything once. My mom's sting took a day or so to heal because we did not notice the stinger was still in her finger. Once the swelling went down we were able to scrape it out and reapply the oil and mud and it was better within 24 hours.

Please remember that I am not a doctor, just a mom sharing what has worked for me. If you notice any excessive swelling or redness please discontinue this treatment and see a doctor. Especially if you think you may be having an allergic reaction to a sting.
