Commercially available homeopathic remedy containing Echinacea angustifolia 3X, 6X, 12X, 20X, 30X, Ignatia amara 6X, Lycopodium clavatum 6X, Sulphur 6X, 12X, 20X, 30X, Thuja occidentalis 6X, Ledum palustre 8X, Phosphorus 8X, Antimonium crudum 12X, Histaminum 12X, and Selenium 12X can alleviate allergic reactions and other symptoms associated with insect bites when combined with a nosode. Instructions for preparing and using insect-derived nosodes are provided, along with specific application examples. Nosode potencies are discussed, depending on the time elapsed since the insect bite, and the severity of the symptoms.
