Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Herbal blends have been traditionally used to support the treatment of bites and stings, primarily due to the anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and soothing properties of various included herbs. Common ingredients in such blends may include plantain, calendula, chamomile, lavender, and tea tree, all of which have a long history in folk medicine for promoting skin healing and alleviating irritation. For example, plantain leaves have been used topically to reduce swelling and itching from insect bites, while calendula has been applied to soothe inflamed skin and promote repair. Although there is some preclinical and limited clinical evidence suggesting certain herbs may reduce inflammation or possess mild antimicrobial effects, robust scientific validation is lacking. Most of the support for these blends comes from ethnobotanical records and anecdotal use, rather than controlled clinical trials. As such, the efficacy of these herbal blends for bites and stings is generally rated low to moderate, based on tradition and preliminary supportive evidence, but not on substantial scientific proof.
