My current favorite topical remedy for insect bites and stings is to use an essential oil blend called Purification (I wrote about it here: http://everydaymindfulliving.com/all-natural-insect-bite-and-sting-relief/ ). It helps to take care of the itch and swelling. <br /><br />I love that I've learned so many new things from you. It's really wonderful.

And yes, we do find that, once we figure out which remedy works for each of us, that same remedy seems to work every time.<br /><br />The pellets can be used orally if necessary, but it is less ideal if you will be taking them day-after-day; with homeopathic remedies, taking them day-after-day can sometimes lead to aggravations (since homeopathic remedies work on the principle of like-cures-like, taking them repeatedly can lead to a homeopathic proving, where the person actually starts to show the same symptoms that the remedy can alleviate).<br /><br />Additionally, within my own family, since we are taking homeopathic remedies for chronic conditions, I try not to administer any other remedies orally unless there is a strong need for one, as they can interfere with the chronic treatment that is in-progress. <br /><br />I think a better plan for when away from home would be to put the remedy solution into a spray bottle that could be easily transported and applied as needed.Sarah Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01348347054374584427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3313009931298256746.post-19496331566468771052015-08-28T15:54:48.466-06:002015-08-28T15:54:48.466-06:00Is it possible that one might have a mosquito bite...Is it possible that one might have a mosquito bite for which EITHER of these remedies might work? Or is it typically a one-or-the-other situation? Also, you mentioned that your family members tend toward one or the other. Is that typical, that a person's bites usually respond to one or the other better? As in, if they figure out which one worked today, it's likely to be the one they'll need throughout the whole season? One more question: is it okay to use the pellets orally for instances when we are away from home, or is there a reason to stick with the liquid topically?Taranoreply@blogger.com
