Question
Hi Caroline,

Would you be knowing the recipe of a homemade mosquito repellent. The commercially available ones are not good in the log run. I need to know about something whaich we can use on a daily basis without worrying about side effects.

Thanks

Answer
Hello Sofia,

According to aromatherapy expert Valerie Ann Worwood, Lavender essential oil is the best option to deter insects from landing on your skin. If you want to use repellant in a room, then mix citronella or lemongrass essential oil in water and spray it around or diffuse it with an EO diffuser.
Here is an insect deterrent synergistic blend:
thyme eo 4 drops
lemongrass eo 8 drops
lavender eo 4 drops
peppermint eo 4 drops

you can diffuse it in a room, or use it in a bath or use it in a massage oil.
I hope you find this answer helpful.
Have a beautiful day,
Take good care
