And here, a tip! Don’t go walking on a foot whose jig-saw puzzle of instep joints may be slightly disturbed. They will pinch nerves, and you will get pain and swelling and inflammation, and be laid up more or less, for weeks. Shake the jig-saw bits home. Bend your knee; hold on to something; and with your toes on the ground, roll your foot backwards and forwards and round and round, while the parts slip home. Arnica will took after the rest.
Arnica is a short-acting remedy: but PROMPT. INSECT STINGS We forgot to mention the role of Arnica in insect stings. The strong tincture applied to a wasp sting, prevents the pain and swelling, and in a couple of hours the sting is forgotten.
Urtica is said to do like worse for bee stings.
And Cantharis 200, given internally, quickly cures the inflamed and horrible swellings that may follow gnat bites-ED.
