Natural Mosquito Repellent Spray To Avoid Mosquito Bites
Ingredients for Mosquito Repellent Spray:
- Dried mint
- Chamomile
- Water
- Medicinal alcohol
Preparation:
In a cup of hot water add about 3-4 tablespoons of the herbs. Cover the cup and let it cool for a while, then add some of the medicinal alcohol. Keep the liquid in a spray bottle and there you have your protection against mosquitoes.
This recipe works best for adults only, and children should avoid using it because the alcohol you are using is not recommended for children. If you still need something to protect your kids, use apple cider vinegar instead of alcohol.
This spray is amazingly efficient, the same as the ones you are buying, the only difference is that you should apply it more often.
Skin-friendly mosquito repellent (also good for children)
Ingredients:
- 1-liter apple cider vinegar
- 10 tbsp herbal mixture (of your choice): rosemary, lavender, thyme, sage and mint.
Preparation:
In a large jar add your combination of herbs and apple cider vinegar. Keep the jar at room temperature for two to three weeks, and do not forget to stir the mixture once in a while. After that period of time, strain the liquid and keep it in a bottle. For better results and long-term use keep the bottle in the fridge.
Use:
Every time you prepare a mosquito repellent, in this case, we are talking about sprays, mix the liquid with some water in the same proportion. For example, fill half a spray bottle with the liquid you have prepared, then add regular water to the top. Now you have a ready-to-use spray that will efficiently keep those boring mosquitoes away.
If you already have mosquito bites:
You can use lavender essential oil, bay leaves, lemon grass, aloe vera gel, chamomile cream, propolis, calendula, or baking soda. Simply apply some of these natural remedies directly to the mosquito bite.
Note (for children):
If your child’s skin reacts violently to any of these remedies, stop using them!
