Summer is fast appproaching but judging from today it just feels like wishful thinking.It is good to have our own recipes that are safe and free from chemicals so we can enjoy the out doors.
Essential Oils for sun protection are Carrot Seed, Lavender, Helichrysum, Myrrh, Roman Chamonmile, Frankincense Sandalwood. These are also great to norish and heal the skin.
Please note
never use citrus oils in a sunscreen or apply citrus oils when going out in the sun.
Fun In the sun.
Put half a 15 ml bottle of Myrrh in a 4 0unce bottle of V6 Carrier Oil to use as sun screen. You can add Sandalwood EO to it if you want to improve youthfulness of your skin.
This is my preference since I have seen many summers.
Insect Repellent.
4oz dark glass bottle.
30 drops EO of your choice.
I usually stick to 3 oils
1oz witch hazel
3oz distilled or boiled water or
fractionated coconut oil.
Add EO to bottle with Witch Hazel and water.
Screw lid on tightly and store in a dark place.
Shake bottle before applying.
Use as often as needed.
Oils you can choose from:
Lavender
Eucalyptus
Clove
Rosemary
Cedarwood
Citronella
Cypress
Tee tree
Peppermint
Pest Contol.
Ants seem to be everywhere. What I found helpful is Peppermint EO on cotton balls or directly on their home.What also is recommended is Vinegar, Black Pepper, or Cayenne Pepper.
Mice: Place cotton balls where they go with Spearamint EO or EucalyptusEO or Peppermint EO
Aphids:
10 drops of Rosemary EO and Lavender EO in 1 litre (4cups) of Salt water.
Spray affected plants.
Mosquitoes:
Get a Ribbon and drop onto it 5 drops of Citronella EO ,Lemongrass EO, Peppermint EO, and Lavender EO. Then hang the ribbon from a doorway.
I hope this information you will find helpful . Enjoy the long week end it is suppose to be nice.
