WAYS TO KEEP MOSQUITOES AWAY NATURALLY!

Let's talk "Essential Oils"!!! I love them!

In a recent report, the “CDC ===>>>finally admitted<<<=== that products using oil of lemon eucalyptus (OLE or PMD) can provide longer lasting protection against mosquitoes, just as the toxic chemical bug repellent DEET does.” This is great news considering that many people experience side effects from DEET such as skin irritation, rashes, numb or burning lips, headaches, dizziness, nausea and difficulty concentrating. You can buy the essential oil at natural grocery store or good vitamin store, or Facebook shoutout to your friends and someone will be selling them. Make sure you get a good quality oil. 

How to make your own. Here’s a great customizable recipe:

To make your own bug spray, you’ll need a 10-ounce spray bottle, and some simple ingredients. And this is a cheap!

Ingredients:
• 5 ounces distilled water
• 4 ounces witch hazel
• Essential oils, choose three or four such as: citronella, lemongrass, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, basil, thyme, oil of lemon eucalyptus, geranium, tea tree oil (check with your pediatrician before using on kids or anyone young. This ges with any essential oil)

Directions:
• Add the distilled water and witch hazel to the 10-ounce spray bottle.
• Then add a total of 30 to 40 drops of essential oil.
• Shake well

Thats it! Cheaper than bug spray and so much healthier for you :)
