Question:
For anyone else who might be interested in trying a
'natural' way to keep mosquitoes and other insects away.
#1.
You need an empty 8 oz. container, preferably with a spray cap, although
this
can be applied on cotton balls as well.
1 teaspoon of eucalyptus essential oil.
5 drops of lavender essential oil.
40 drops of lemongrass essential oil.
30 drops of spearmint essential oil.
8 oz. of sunflower oil.
Put all ingredients into container and shake well before each use.
#2.
Container, same as above.
10 drops of Lavender essential oil.
20 drops of citronella.
4 drops of lemongrass essential oil.
3 drops of eucalyptus essential oil.
8 oz. of water (preferably distilled).
Put all ingredients into container and SHAKE WELL before EACH use
(especially
important with a non emulsified mix such as this).
You should be able to get everything you need at your local health food
store.
Make sure that your 8 oz. containers are very clean before filling.
BE CAREFUL handling any essential oil - this is potent stuff - avoid contact
on the skin with any undiluted form (there are exceptions, but not with any
of
the above).
These two actually do work rather well... better than Avon's Skin So Soft...
and are all natural, of course. Safe for children. Please always do a
patch
test first.
