Find Relief From Bee Sting With These Easy-To-Reach Home Remedies
A bee sting is a wound caused by the stinger from a bee. It can result in a swollen painful bump and itching that usually go away in a few days without treatment. However, there are cases wherein a person may have an allergic reaction to a bee sting. For this scenario, that person may need immediate medical attention.
Here are several home remedies that one can easily use to reduce discomfort and speed up the healing process of the bee sting.
Apply Baking Soda
To make a paste, we need to mix baking soda with water and apply a thick layer of it on the bee sting and then cover it with a bandage. Leave the paste on the skin for a minimum of 15 minutes and then reapply more as necessary.
Toothpaste
Aloe Vera
This remedy will require us to break off a leaf and squeeze its gel directly onto the sting.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
To use ACV, we need to soak the sting site in a basin of ACV for at least 15 minutes. Also, a bandage or cloth can be soaked in the vinegar and then apply it to the sting site.
Honey
When it comes to bee stings, we can try spreading a small amount of honey on the affected area.
Ice
Since itching and scratching can worsen the case, we can apply ice to reduce pain and swelling. For this remedy, simply wrap an ice pack in a cloth and place it against the site of the sting for 20 minutes. Repeat as needed.
