Naturopathic Tip of the Month: Preventing & Treating Summer Insect Bites/Stings

Whether they are from black flies, mosquitoes, spiders or bees summertime bug bites/stings can get in the way of fully enjoying the outdoors. Try the following tips and consult your Naturopathic Doctor for other helpful ways to prevent and treat insect bites and stings.

To Prevent:
  • wear protective clothing (i.e. a wide brimmed hat and light coloured outerwear)
  • apply diluted tea tree oil or citronella oil to exposed areas of skin

To Treat:

  • to ease the itch, apply lavender essential oil to the area
  • to decrease inflammation and pain of stings, apply the juice of the stinging nettle plant or a dab of baking soda and water
  • homeopathic medicine: Ledum is commonly used for bites and stings that are cold to the touch yet better with cold application
  • Staphysagria is great for children who’s mosquito bites are itchy, large and have a tendency to create welts.
