5 natural remedies to relieve insect bites

The 5 natural remedies against insect bites with formidable effectiveness.

- Apply a mixture of water and tea tree essential oil.

- Apply honey in small steps.

- Mix water and skimmed milk (equal parts). Apply to the bite with a clean cloth.

- Pound fresh basil. Apply to the bite.

The dangers of commercial repellents

The most effective insect repellants on the market contain a chemical compound, N, N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET).

The problem is, this chemical has been shown to be toxic to the nervous system of mammals.

In rats, scientific studies have shown that DEET interferes with brain function, but also with muscle control and coordination.

Thus, essential oils are a reliable alternative to DEET. In addition, most of the essential oils used in the above recipes are easily found online or in stores.

The benefits of essential oils

On the one hand, essential oils give off a pleasant scent.

Most importantly, essential oils are just as effective as commercial repellents at warding off insects.

Except, of course, that they do not contain any chemicals that are harmful to the health of your family.

Precautions for the use of essential oils

• Never use essential oil on children under 3 years old.

• Never apply essential oil on the eyes or mucous membranes.

• Never use essential oil during pregnancy without medical advice.

• Any essential oil and mixture containing essential oil are to be used exclusively for external use.

• Before using an essential oil for the first time, it is advisable to perform an allergy test. To do this, apply a drop of essential oil in the crease of the elbow before applying it to larger areas.

Essential oils are effective and natural, but that doesn't mean they aren't potentially dangerous to your health.

Essential oils are produced by distillation and particularly concentrated.

Therefore, never ingest essential oils or apply them on or near the eyes.

Likewise, never use them on children.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should always consult their doctor before using essential oils, even if it is a mixture that contains only a few drops.

3 tips to avoid attracting insects to your home

To have a house without any bugs, it may be necessary to take a few additional steps (but always WITHOUT chemicals). For the most part, these steps are common sense:

1. Clean your floors and worktops regularly (broom / vacuum cleaner and mop). Regular cleanings are necessary because they clear chemical trails left by insects, which they use to navigate to food sources.

2. Also, try to patch cracks in foundation walls as well as gaps under windows and doors in your home. This method is particularly effective in blocking access to unwanted insects, such as spiders and cockroaches.

3. Finally, take care to declutter the spaces that can serve as a refuge for spiders. Indeed, spiders love dark corners of crowded spaces, such as piles of wood and debris or the bushy plants that grow next to the house. The more you reduce the potential places where spiders can take refuge, the less you will have in your home.
