About this deal
Not only is Citronella oil great for keeping away insects, but it also serves a myriad of other health benefits. Not only do insects leave behind skin irritations, they can also spread diseases such as malaria, West Nile virus, dengue fever, chikungunya fever and Lyme disease. I have tried some oils as a topical and even though it may have worked,,,I think for some of the oils I was having an adverse reaction…but i wasn’t mixing them with water or using a carrier…and I think Lemon oil is not to be used when out in the sun….
heee I am going to try some of your recipes, I like the idea of adding the witch hazel and citronella.

Just wanted to comment on your tips for treating mosquito bites: some people are highly sensitive to baking soda.
I always forget that it isn’t just lemon + eucalyptus oils, but that it is it’s own thing from a lemon eucalyptus tree.The oil is known to help ease headaches, boost energy levels, reduces fatigue, and can even help relieve stress.
