How to Make a Drawing Salve to Extract Spider Venom

The occasional insect bite is an unwanted, yet inevitable experience. But sometimes, a bite is much more serious than just a regular bug bit. One of the more common poisonous bites people endure is that of spiders, especially since spiders are typically small and difficult to see or feel when we do come into contact. Fortunately, most poisonous spider bites aren't a matter of life or death. But it is still wise to make and apply a drawing salve to extract the spider venom, before it can circulate in your body and cause nasty symptoms.

Instructions

• 1

  Apply a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon powdered, sun-dried clay, 1 1/2 tablespoons of water, and one drop of stone-pressed olive oil to the bite. According to Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz, Ph.D. Nutrition -- an alternative health practitioner with over 20 years of experience based in Santa Monica, California -- this mixture attracts and absorbs poisons and soothes the area of the bite.

• 2

  Chew fresh, raw corn-on-the-cob and apply it to the spider bite, if fresh corn is available.

• 3

  Combine one tablespoon of cornstarch, two teaspoons of mineral water, one pinch of mustard powder, two drops of stone-pressed olive oil, and half a pinch of grated nutmeg, and apply to the bite -- if there is continued swelling.

• 4

  Create and apply a salve made of one teaspoon fresh minced and shredded beet, one and a half teaspoons fresh raw lime juice, and half a teaspoon powdered, sun-dried clay. This is especially helpful for poisonous bites, according to Dr. Vonderplanitz.

• 5

  Create and apply a salve made of one teaspoon cooked, moist, coffee grounds, one teaspoon fresh raw lime juice, and one quarter of a teaspoon of powdered sun-dried clay. This mixture is also especially helpful for poisonous insect bites.
