5. Lavender

Lavender or lavender oil can effectively reduce pain and itching from bee stings. Lavender's soothing properties ease inflammation and calm localized reactions. It's also believed to have antihistamine properties to help control itching. Apply a carrier oil and one drop of lavender essential oil to the sting, or press the flowers of the plant against the area. Remember that oils can irritate skin and should always be tested on unbroken skin first, to avoid further irritating the sting due to an unexpected topical reaction.
