When pain hits‚ the natural instinct is to reduce that pain as quickly as possible. When‚ specifically‚ you get an insect bite‚ your first reaction would probably be to attempt to scratch it. You know that by scratching the insect bite it won’t go away‚ alternatively‚ after scratching it‚ the pain may even increase. But the body clearly has a defense mechanism for lowering pain‚ and some may sacrifice a more intense pain from an insect bite in the long-term for a moment or two of genuine‚ short-term relief after scratching.

Ledum palustre by Boiron contains pellets that may contribute to your overall well-being and may support relief to insect bites. Ledum palustre is also known by several other names‚ including its scientific name‚ Rhododendron tomentosum. It has also been referred to as Marsh Labrador tea‚ northern Labrador tea‚ and wild rosemary. It is a flowering plant‚ part of the family Ericaceae‚ which grows as a low shrub. Ladum palustre carries small flowers that contain both male and female organs‚ and white five-lobed petals.
