Insect bites

Insect bites — swelling and itch at the bite.

Food Remedies

Main remedy
Rub a tulsi leaf or dab honey on the bite — both calm the itch fast. Aloe pulp cools a swollen bump; a turmeric-water paste keeps a scratched bite from turning septic. Trim nails: the scratch does more harm than the bite.

तुलसी का रस · Tulsi juice
Crush a leaf and rub the juice on the bite.
