7. Use It For Wasp Stings

This is an old-school remedy that I’ve tried and tested here in my homestead. If you have been stung by wasp or bee, you’ll know the pain and there’s a likelihood that it will swell. Activated will almost immediately ease the pain and swelling. Create a paste with water and charcoal. Apply the paste to the affected area and cover it with a cloth until swelling recedes. Replace plaster as needed during the day. It is also helpful to take 2-4 capsules at the same time. Who knew that activated charcoal has its place in the first aid kit as well?
