6 effective natural mosquito repellent

mosquito season is here! With so many repulsive decisions, I am often asked which are safe and can be made at home without harmful chemicals. Here is a list of 6 essential oils that are ideal for combating mosquitoes and other insects:

1. Peppermint oil: has countless health advantages: helps with abdominal pain, menstrual complaints, morning nausea, digestive disorders, heartburn, sinus problems, but spiders and insects despise this oil.

Spray your skin, clothing, the house, etc. You can mix with other oils such as lemon grass, eucalyptus, rosemary and thyme. Would you like to keep your skin smooth and soft? Try to add some vitamin e-capsules to your peppermint solution.

According to CDC, lemon-neucalyptus oil can be as effective in the defense against mosquitoes as Deet. Children with deed toxicity can suffer from lethargy, headache, tremors, involuntary movements, seizures and cramps.
