An essential oils group I'm in had a question posted about what to use when bitten by a spider. The person, 3 weeks after the bite, was still in pain even though he used a few essential oil right away to neutralize the toxins.
My answer was to support the damaged cells. I wrote that I was not surprised he was still hurting, as it depends on the poison and our body's ability at that moment to recover. I had injuries from a stingray and a scorpion (I think - I would have to check my book :) ) The damage and the swelling persisted for a while. I know, I supported my internal organs for a quicker elimination of the poison for as long as my body needed it, the nerves and lymph. To support our member spiritually, I re-assured him that he will feel better.
Someone else suggested using patchouli essential oil to pull toxins. She shared her experience of using patchouli on her gums to pull the toxins.I was curious about her source of information, since I never heard about this property of patchouli before. She quoted from the 2008 Desk Reference: "For centuries, the Asian people used patchouli to fight infection, cool fevers, tone the skin (and entire body), and as an antidote for insect and snake bites.". I checked the first edition of Gary Young's Guide " This oil helps the body eliminate toxic material". Dennis Willmont in his Aromatherapy with Chinese medicine book adds that patchouli supports skin regeneration, fortifies the spleen, sagging skin, weight loss (curbs appetite), hemorrhoids, varicose veins (in Chinese medicine, blood in held in veins is from unbalanced spleen), digestion problems, and more.
What else can we use to support our body's elimination of toxins? Here are a few that come to mind:

plantain and charcoal pull
thyme - expands
For snake and spider bites - patchouli(heavy essential oil from India), tea tree (from Australia), lemongrass is amazing - excellent for lymph and ligaments support
We always look for that magic pill, a rejuvenation elixir. We already have it - it's us! :)
Our body, having such amazing internal organs and functions, is constantly working in accord with the environment to maintain homeostasis.
For example, tumors is how our body separates toxins from the body for elimination, swelling - may be body's healing or cleansing, or damaged cells unable to sustain themselves, weak kidneys - all depends on the person's physical condition. Sometimes, the undigested food in our stomach may be too liquidly, needing absorption, or just the opposite - needing more moisture. We need to stay in tune with our body so we will know what it may need.
I was always curious how folk medicine doctors qualified different plants as having certain properties. I even wrote to Dennis Willmont, the author of the Aromatherapy with Chinese medicine book. Interestingly, he answered that I had to keep on reading to find my answer :) I eventually understood how this qualification was done - by studying the unique physical properties of the plants, the environment they preferred, the special living characteristics of the plants, etc.
When I need to support my health, I combine my intuition and knowledge, using a scent, food, exercise, etc. I try to remember to address my traumatic experience right away, with essential oils and not blocking how I feel.
Our body knows what energy it needs, just like animals have their innate abilities to know what grass or roots they need to eat to feel better.
When we go outside and it's cold, we cross our arms and I bet, our cells close up to keep the heat. When it's hot, our cells open up, releasing heat and toxic overload - all the processes run faster.
Have you ever pondered why some people may get affected more in their liver, yet others in their kidneys, etc.? Emotions, lifestyle, physical condition - are all different from person to person.
Bottom line - there is no "one fits all solution". As of late, I tolerate pain on purpose, without using any remedies. My pain is my teacher, reminding me what I knowingly did wrong. Kind of, my mom telling me not to do it next time :)
