Summer in the Midwest brings about longer, warmer days and an array of biting, stinging, crawling and flying insects.   Be sure to stock up on these Homeopathic remedies: 

Apis Mellifica – Often used for bites and bee and wasp stings characterized by rapid burning and itching pain.

Arnica Montana – Traditionally used to minimize the immediate effects of shock, falls, bruising, bleeding, and injuries by blunt objects.  It also helps traumatized tissues to heal.
