Brown Recluse Spider Bite Testimonies:

1. I was bitten by a brown recluse spider in 9 different places on my arm. The pain was immediate, and without thinking, I raised my arm to my mouth to try and ease the discomfort. Within an hour the tissue inside my mouth began to dissolve and come apart. I was desperate to stop this! I placed 3 drops of Ledum essential in my mouth and swished it around and around as long as I could before spitting it out. Within an hour my mouth was almost back to normal. I also applied Ledum on the spots on my arm frequently. I had the Ledum because I’d read it was good for infection, and I had a very badly infected tooth. It is an amazing oil.

2. My son got an insect bite that became very infected, pus-filled, swollen, ugl and extremely painful. The MD lanced it so it would drain, and then we used Helichysum Blend, Rose and Purify to deal with the infection and help his tissue heal. The wound was seriously scary looking and we figured for sure he'd have a scar, but amzingly, you cannot tell it ever happened.

3. Our grown daughter was bitten by a brown recluse spider when she sat down bench on her patio. She screamed in pain, and her leg got swelled up hard and the skin turned black and blue. She was in horrible pain. This time I was prepared. I put Peaceful on the base of her neck and temples to calm her down. She was really out of control with pain. I hurridedly applied Purify to the bit and then diluted Oregano. I did not touch the bite. I left my bottles of oil with her husband and instructed him to reapply every hour or two until she slept. The next day, her leg was almost back to normal with no pain, and the discoloration was almost gone. They continued to apply the oils for a few days and had no complications.

4. I used Basil for a Brown Recluse spider bite on my young son's leg. It is said to stop the venom from doing any more damage. I put some drops on the wound and covered it with a cloth bandage. I did this a few times daily and it healed very well and quickly. All that's left is a slight indention on his leg.

5. My son has had several recluse spider bites in the past couple years. After the first one he took antibiotics. It took a while for him to heal from that. We decided not to use antibiotics after that experience, but instead we used: Cleansing, Tea Tree, Plague Defense and Oregano. With each subsequent bite, the sooner he started applying the oils, the quicker he recovered. After the initial undiluted applications, he diluted Plague Defense and Oregano with olive oil before applying. He also ingested Plague Defense and Oregano in capsules. We were amazed at how quickly he recovered. [Linda's comment: One could use Warrior since it's Plague Defense + Oregano and Frankincense].

6. My daughter was bitten by a Brown Recluse spider on her upper arm and began applying Lavender every 15 minutes. I brought her my Purify and Warrior so she could use those as well. The bite was very “angry,” so she persisted in frequent application of the oils and applied Warrior to the bottoms of her feet as well as using it diluted on the wound. After three days, the bite looked very insignificant and never caused any more problems.

7. I was bitten by a brown recluse spider and immediately had stinging, swelling and redness around the area. I applied Purify neat (not diluted) to the bite and within 15 minutes the swelling was gone. I then applied Lavender neat and repeated the Purify and Lavender several more times within the first hour of the bite. I would have used Basil if I had it since it is supposed to neutralize the venom. However, the Purify and Lavender worked beautifully for me. My bite looked like a bulls-eye with the bite in the center and then a white ring around it followed by a large, bright red ring. Within a few days, all that was left was a bruised look. Bless God for these oils!

8. I was bitten by a brown recluse spider while camping. I used activated charcoal and later bentonite clay on it along with Warrior infection-fightening essential oils internally (when I found about about them). Photos are below. - Kayra M.
