Clay Paste
I have used this Clay Paste so many times; it is amazingly fast and powerful for reducing pain and swelling from stings and bites.

Clay Paste
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons bentonite or French green clay
5 drops lavender essential oil
½ teaspoon arnica tincture
3 tablespoons water
Mix the arnica tincture, lavender essential oil, and water. Add slowly to the clay to make a paste. The clay helps draw out the venom from the sting and gets rid of the itch. The lavender essential oil and arnica dramatically relieve the swelling and pain.
How to Use: Apply the paste to the affected area. Cover it with plastic wrap or gauze for 30 minutes. Repeat this in 4 to 6 hours if needed.
