Most commonly caused by a substance to which the patient has become sensitized, anaphylactic reactions are systemic allergic reactions. If shock develops, the patient turns pale, faints and quickly becomes unresponsive. If no help is available, it can be fatal. A serious outcome of anaphylactic reactions can often be prevented with Apis mellifica made from the honey bee.

I attended a wedding that was held outdoors, when a little girl suddenly screamed, and her mother yelled “oh my god she got stung by a yellow jacket, and we forgot the epinephrine kit!” The wedding was held in the woods several miles from town and the mother was beside herself. I reassured her and walked calmly to my car to get my remedy kit. I gave the girl a pellet of Apis 30 C under her tongue and she stopped screaming instantly. Fifteen minutes later the incredulous mother pointed out that the girl was completely fine, and didn’t even have any localized swelling.

I received a call one day from the mother of a teenage patient. She called from her car phone: “I’m on my way to your office. This is an emergency. Get a remedy ready, my son is choking to death.” He had been at the orthodontist’s office to have his braces reattached. He had a serious reaction to the bonding agent. When they arrived, my assistant and I met them in the parking lot. His face had turned purple from lack of oxygen, there was swelling of the tongue and throat to the point of obstruction of the air passages. I placed a pellet of Apis 200C under his tongue, and he started to relax. A minute later a 1M, followed by a 10 M, and he breathed easy. In a few more minutes he was smiling, and so was his mother. Meanwhile, when my assistant, who was an experienced EMT specialist and new to homeopathy, saw the patient, she turned pale. As the Apis was given, she was watching in amazement. She confessed, “the whole time I could only think ‘epinephrine, epinephrine…’” Homeopathy works rapidly and, if properly used, has no side effects.

My daughter, on a trip through Germany, drank a soda, and unfortunately, a wasp had crawled into the can. It stung her in the esophagus, causing severe pain and constriction. Apis took care of it quickly.

A patient has severe anaphylactic reactions to sesame seeds, with nausea and weakness, and he used to carry an epinephrine kit with him at all times. Occasionally, an evening out at a restaurant would turn into a trip to the emergency room, and it would take days to recover from the drugs. Now he carries a few pellets of Apis 10 M in his pocket, and whenever he has a reaction he takes a pellet under his tongue. He says it works instantly, preventing a reaction and has no after‑effects.

Can anyone use this for a possible reaction, even “universal reactors”? What are the dosages to carry around? Are there other possible ways to administer besides under the tongue, because of possible fillers like sucrose and lactose? Where do we order this from? This seems to be a great alternative to epinephrine or benadryl especially for someone who already has other complicating conditions like thyroiditis.
Thank you for helping us with such a great blog post this is full of information about the Anaphylactic Reactions and it’s Homeopathic Treatment.
I am an anaphylaxis nightmare they are still trying to find out what is making me have shocks i am on a strict diet of veges and fresh meat I now carry Apis 10M where ever I go and it has stopped me 3 times from going into a full on anaphylaxis state it works like magic and the large rash slowy disappears after about one hour and yes I call an ambulance but that last 2 times I have been stable enough to escape the Epi pen
Thanks so much for your information! I am allergic to Latex, so many foods including fruits & vegetables I cannot eat. Well needless to say, we have a few to many close calls. This is a better, less expensive option.
Hello is this safe to take if one is allergic to honey bee stings?

First her lips , then eyelids and then her windpipe gets choked and she goes into shock . Please provide emergency homoeopathic remedy and also treatment for curing the drug allergy . Thanks .
Hi
I suffer from allergic reaction to unknown cause from past 6 years.Initially it was itching and hives and wheels starting from my head to my upper body which went away with allegra or an steroid (decadron)and avil shot.I had this allergic reaction once in a year usually when I went for a holiday.Once it made me go into anaphylactic shock with my bp falling to 80 and pulse was 140.Had to be hospitalised.It was triggered by some medicines at this time.We then took homeopathic treatment and started apis 200 sos which subsided small allergic reactions .We also noticed sometimes reaction happened due to sudden change in weather and apis didn’t work then.Two days back I Took ibuprofen and within 1/2 an hour went into an anaphylactic shock and collapsed.My husband had injected avil and decadron im and I also took apis 1 m and allegra at the onset.Had to be hospitalised.Where my bp and pulse went normal in 1/2 an hour but suddenly had a biphasic anaphylaxis and bp started to go down and pulse shot up to 140 again had to be given steroids and more anti allergy shots.What is my prognosis and prevention of these episodes
I suffer from allergic reaction to inhaled fabric softeners from others clothes or any inhaled fragrancce. Sometimes Apis 200 helps but often I have to take it several times. Do you have suggestions
