How to prepare an effective natural insect repellent

Insects can be a real plague, but also a danger to our health. In some areas of the world they are a deadly problem. The use of industrial repellents, although effective, exposes us to chemical and toxic substances: below we suggest 2 recipes for natural insect repellents .

Lemongrass oil . It is obtained from a plant native to Asia, has antibacterial and antiseptic properties, but also has a great repellent action against mosquitoes, lice and fleas. You can apply lemongrass oil directly on your arms, or apply it in the corners of your home.

Lavender oil . It is extracted from lavender leaves, and has a very pleasant fragrance. One of the many uses of this oil is as a natural repellent

You can dilute lavender oil in a carrier oil, or in apple cider vinegar. A few drops applied to the skin are enough to have a great repellent action.

Chamomile . Bring 250 grams of chamomile flowers to the boil, then apply to the skin every two hours to keep mosquitoes away.
