Homeopathic Remedies for Insect Bites
If your pet does get bitten by fleas, spiders, ants, or other insect, or
gets stung by a bee, think of these homeopathic remedies as first aid.
Apis mellifica 30C or 200C is made from the venom of the honeybee. So if
you see your dog get stung or see a reaction in your pet that looks like it
might have been caused by a bee or wasp sting (hot, redness, swelling –
could be anywhere on the animal: mouth, throat, skin-- give three pellets every
5 minutes for three doses. If the swelling and reaction doesn't stop by
the third dose, try another remedy listed here. If the swelling is extreme or
your dog collapses, rush your dog to an animal hospital. Sometimes a bee
sting reaction can be fatal if the throat swells so much that your pet
cannot breath. (Give the remedy to the dog on the way to the animal hospital.
Perhaps by the time you get there, the dog will be feeling better.)
Ledum palustre 6C, 12C or 30C (Masha tea; Wild Rosemary) Is an excellent
remedy for any kind of puncture wound. Of course, an animal bite, snakebite,
insect bite or bee sting is also a puncture wound. The wounded area may
twitch and seem itchy (more so at night). This is also the first remedy to
give if your animal steps on a nail or something else that may puncture its
pads/foot. Here again, give three pellets every 10 minutes for three doses.
Then wait to see if there is improvement. If so, stop and let the body
continue the healing process. If no improvement occurs, try another remedy
listed here. Ledum palustre (in tincture) can also be applied topically to the
area.
Grindelia 3C to 30C (Grindelia robusta and Grindelia squarrosa) If Ledum
is not successful try this for flea bites every 10 minutes. You may see a
rash, like roseola, and the dog will feel severe burning and itching. You may
see skin eruptions. This remedy can also be used for exposure to poison ivy
or poison oak.
Caladium sequinum 6C to 30C (American arum; Dieffenbachia sequine) This is
a less common remedy but may help some dogs who are sensitive to flea
bites. The characteristic feature is that the site is itching and burning,
perhaps worse at night.
