Bug bite treatments focus on calming the skin, reducing swelling, and preventing infection. Herbs with anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and cooling properties are particularly effective. Plantain (Plantago spp.) is a classic remedy for bug bites, soothing irritation and drawing out toxins. Calendula (Calendula officinalis) reduces inflammation and promotes healing of irritated skin. Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil provides a calming, antimicrobial effect, relieving itching and discomfort. These natural remedies offer gentle, effective relief from the symptoms of insect bites while supporting the skin’s healing process.
