Rosemary Rosemary essential oil can help you


repel insects in your home and in your yard. Rosemary is effective on flies, mos- quitoes, and ants.


Cedarwood Cedarwood essential oil is a very aro-


matic oil that helps repel fleas, ticks, spi- ders, mosquitoes, lice, and gnats to name a few. Cedarwood oil is one of my favorites to use in my home for fleas. Fleas hate cedar!


Eucalyptus Lemon Eucalyptus oil is great for pests, but


Eucalyptus lemon is even better. The oil I am talking about is Eucalyptus citriodora. Eucalyptus lemon can help repel mosqui- toes and ticks, and there is even a name brand insect repellent on the market using this oil. It is also an effective oil for pest control around your home, in corners, where pests try to enter.


Catnip Your cats might be drawn to catnip, but insects tend to stay away! Catnip essential oil is effective against mosquitoes and ticks, one study even found that it was 10 times more effective than DEET!


Geranium Geranium essential oil is one of my


very favorite oils, and the fact that it helps to repel insects makes me love it even more! Geranium oil can be used against wasps, ticks, lice, gnats, flies, and mosqui- toes.


Using Essential Oils to Repel Bugs


from the Body Nothing ruins a good time outdoors


more than bug bites! There are a few dif- ferent ways you can keep bugs and biting insects away when you are outdoors:


Cream: You can mix your essential oils


with carrier oils, beeswax or even just into a unscented natural lotion base. And rub it on your exposed skin to repel insects.


Oil: You can dilute your chosen es-


sential oils into a carrier oil, such as coco- nut oil, and spray or rub it on your skin before going outside.

Spray: The easiest way to apply your


homemade bug repellent to your body is to spray it. Homemade bug sprays are usu- ally made in a base of witch hazel or plant enzymes as opposed to water or oil. Use a spray bottle to apply on your body and clothes. With the summer heat already out in


full force, we’re all heading outdoors. With days spent at the beach, by the pool, at the campground and other places outside, we’re constantly battling all that comes along with it. Sunburn, dry skin, heat ex- haustion…our time spent outdoors is not always easy on our bodies. What a perfect time to implement re-


freshing, uplifting aromatherapy into your daily life. Sunny citrus, cooling mint, her- baceous and floral essential oils are aromas that sing of summer.


Lavender If you spent too much time in the sum-


mer sun and need some sunburn relief, it’s time to bring out the Lavender oil. Add 10 drops of Lavender oil to a small spray bottle of water and spray on skin to soothe sunburn discomfort. You can also make your own sunburn relief gel by mixing 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 3 ounces of aloe vera gel and 10 drops of Lavender oil


and gently rub on skin for cooling relief. Lavender oil is also known for supporting a calm, relaxing atmosphere. Rub a few drops of Lavender oil on the bottoms of your feet to promote restful sleep at the end of a busy, summer day.


Tea Tree This powerful oil is known for promot-


ing healthy feet and nails, so use this oil to keep your feet flip flop ready all summer long. Apply a drop of Tea Tree oil to your toenails each day to promote healthy toe- nails. Combat stinky feet at the end of a long day with a foot spray. Add 10 drops of Tea Tree oil to a small spray bottle of water and mist on the bottoms of feet. Tea tree oil is perfect for soothing blisters, scrapes, insect stings and bug bites that come along with time spent outdoors. Use a cotton ball to dab Tea Tree oil on skin to soothe discomfort.


Lemon If you’re going camping, be sure to


bring the Lemon oil along. You can use Lemon oil to remove gum, oil, tree sap or other sticky residues from surfaces. It works great as a surface cleaner and de-greaser for all the messes that come along with summer and time spent outdoors, too.
