Echinacea Bee Sting Remedy

1 teaspoon (5 ml) green clay powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml) distilled water
1 teaspoon (5 ml) echinacea tincture

Herbal experts credit a dab of clay on a bee sting for providing a quick natural means to instant, cooling relief. As the clay dries, it causes the skin to shrink temporarily, helping to draw out the stinger and subdue the accompanying toxins. A bit of echinacea tincture added to the mix may prompt faster healing. Combine the green clay powder, water, and echinacea tincture in a small bowl ans stir with your finger until thoroughly mixed. Apply to a fresh insect bite or sting. Rinse with cool water when clay is dry and the itching or stinging has subsided.
