Bee Sting Remedy
When it comes to bee sting first aid, we naturally turn to our therapeutic essential oils for relief. And we have been doing that lately because the bees have been busy around here.
The primary oil for bee sting first aid is Melrose. This blend is a strong topical antiseptic, which also helps regenerate tissue and reduce inflammation. Other oils that bring relief are lavender, Idaho tansy, peppermint, and wintergreen. A couple of essential oil blends called Purification and PanAway can be very effective, too. There's even a bee sting blend that you can mix up. . .
Here's a good regimen using essential oils. . .
In some cases you may find that you do not have all the oils you would like on hand. That happened to us just recently, but we were able effectively use the oils we had available. 
Our youngest son was at our neighborhood pool and stirred up some bees under the pool slide. Boy, that made them mad and they stung him six times. It was time for some bee sting first aid. I quickly applied Melrose, lavender, and peppermint in layers on the affected areas, and repeated this every fifteen minutes. This worked well, and in a short time I began to stretch out the time in between oil applications. Before long, Matthew was happily back at the pool. . . We told him if the bees bother him again he should just jump in the water! We're all thankful for the effectiveness of our essential oils. They do a fantastic job when it comes to first aid for bee stings. Return from Bee Sting Remedy to Basic First Aid Instructions
