Bug bites

Is there something natural I can use to ease the itching and reduce swelling from a bug bite?
I've got 2 bites - one near my eye - that I think are from a spider and they are making me nuts.
Any ideas?

A baking soda paste may help, maybe a drop of TTO.

Witchhazel is supposed to be good for that. My DS (9mo) got attacked by mosquitos last week and I kept witchhazel on the bites. I have an herbal book that suggests 1 tsp of Lavender EO and 1 TBSP of vegetable oil dabbed directly onto the bite as needed. HTH!

Blessed Be!

Adolf's Meat Tenderizer-original formula. Wet the bite pour on tenderizer. The itch will be gone in a few minutes.

Thank you
