Home Health Chest - Bee Sting Case History
The enjoyment Matt, age 14, was experiencing
during a morning walk in the woods was soon altered when he was attacked
by five stinging bees. One bee penetrated deeply into the back of his
scalp and it took a minute or two to dig the bee out. Matt thought the
bee was going to be stuck in his head permanently. All the injury sites
were swollen and red within seconds, but two of the five were severe and
unusually swollen.
His mother applied mud to the wounded sites
to begin the process of removing the "stinger" from his skin
until he could get home to apply honey. Honey is one of the best substances
that withdraws the bee's stinger. The mud was washed off upon arrival
at home and a poultice was applied to all the wound sites and bandaged.
The ingredients for this poultice is provided below and were grabbed quickly
from their Home Health Chest and Kitchen Spice Cabinet. Within five minutes
he was getting relief from the poultice. Having grown up in a home which
has used natural herbal healing since 1974, it was not surprising that
Matt was asking for raw onions to eat and a cup of apple cider vinegar
to drink.
On a scale of 0-10 (10 being severe), Matt
said he was at a pain level of 10 before applying the poultice and a level
6 within 30 minutes of applying the poultice. Two hours later, it was
at a level 3 and the puncture wounds where healed showing no trace where
the stinger had pierced the skin. The two more severe sites were improved
with less redness and swelling; whereas the other sites were healed. Within
48 hours, Matt was completed healed and back to exploring in the woods
again.
Here are the herbs and kitchen foods used
by Matt and his mother to prevent an allergic reaction to and heal the
skin from being stung by five bees..
Bee Sting Poultice Ingredients:
Honey (to bind the herbs and remove the bee's stinger)
Apple Cider Vinegar - for pain
Diced Onions - for pain
Nature's Sunshine Herbal Product PLS-II, to disinfect and assist in healing
the wound*
Nature's Sunshine Herbal Product BP-X, to purify the blood that was poisoned*
Nature's Sunshine Herbal Product APS-II, acts like natural herbal aspirin*
Mix 1-2 capsules or more of PLS-II, BP-X, APS-II with just enough apple
cider vinegar, diced onions and honey to make enough paste to cover the
wound sites. Then bandage. Change bandage and add new poultice once or
twice daily. Though making a fresh poultice is ideal, you can make enough
of the poultice to keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Matt also ingested six capsules of each
of the herbal combinations with an asterisk (*). PLS-II and BP-X is recommended
daily until three days after the skin is healed. APS-II is taken until
there is no more pain or discomfort, then discontinued. No matter what
the cause, the skin heals faster when herbs are taken internally as well
as applied externally. Matt, having grown up with a respect for his body's
communication system, took the appropriate action to reduce his pain when
he listened to his innate desire to eat onions and drink apple cider vinegar
