Solutie naturala antitantari / DIY natural mosquito repellent

Solutie naturala antitantari. A venit vara, anotimpul meu preferat, insa exista si o parte mai putin placuta, si anume TANTARII. Sunt eu o dulce, am grupa de sange 0, ne-am mutat si aproape de lac, etc, I don’t know the reason, cert este ca MA CIURUIE! :)) Daca exista un tantar intr-o incapere cu x oameni, tantarul ma va ciupi in minim 3 locuri, e fapt dovedit. Asa ca am cautat o varianta homemade mai naturala pe care sa o folosesc, ca sa nu abuzez de sprayurile din comert mereu.

Ingrediente:

1 sticluta cu pulverizator de 50ml
30ml apa de Hamamelis
15ml apa (2 lg)
1 lgt ulei fractionat de cocos
10 pic ulei esential Terrashield
10 pic ulei esential Lemongrass
10 pic din urmatoarele uleiurile esentiale, la alegere: Peppermint, Arbovitae, Litsea, Cedarwood, Melaleuca, Lavanda

Se amesteca bine toate ingredientele in recipientul folosit si se agita inainte de fiecare aplicare. Eu am folosit Terrashield, Lemongrass, cele 2 de baza, iar din celelalte uleiuri am pus Lavanda si Cedarwood. Amestecul se pulverizeaza pe piele cam la 1-2 ore.

Si pentru a va demonstra putin ca aceasta metoda naturala functioneaza, iata 3 studii despre efectele uleiurilor esentiale asupra ganganiior :)

„The repellency of lemongrass oil against stable flies, tested using video tracking„, il puteti citi aici.
„Plant-based insect repellents: a review of their efficacy, development and testing” il puteti citi integral aici.
„Behavioral Response of Aedes aegypti Mosquito towards Essential Oils Using Olfactometer” il puteti citi integral aici.

Amestecul de uleiuri esentiale Terrashield se gaseste si sub forma de spray gata preparat (detalii aici), insa reteta mea este mai avantajoasa ca pret, avand in vedere ca se aplica mai des ca un spray anti tantari de la farmacie :) Iar pentru piscaturile de tantari, Correct X e este AUR, dupa 2-3 aplicari le desumfla. (P.S. -Eu il folosesc si pentru pielite roase de la unghii sau pentru buze extrem de uscate si crapate iarna :) Solutie naturala antitantari.

ENGLISH VERSION

Summer’s here, my favorite season! But it does have some downsides, mosquitoes, that is. I am sweet, I have 0 blood type, we moved close to a lake, I DON’T know what it is, but the fact is they pinch the hell out of me! :))) If there is a mosquito in a room full of people, it WILL come to me :)) So I looked up a more natural solution, not to abuse the mosquito sprays in shops.

Ingredients:

one 50ml spray bottle
30 ml twitch hazel
15 ml water (2 tbsp)
1 tsp fractionated coconut oil
10 drops Terrashield essential oil blend
10 drops Lemongrass essential oil
10 drops from the following oils, to choose from: Peppermint, Arbovitae, Litsea, Cedarwood, Melaleuca, Lavender

Mix all the ingredients in the used bottle and shake well each time you apply. I used Terrashield, Lemongrass, the 2 basic oils, and from the others I put Lavender and Cedarwood. Spray allt over the skin every 1-2 hours.

And to prove that this natural solution works, here are 3 studies which prove efficacy of essential oils over varied bugs :)

You can also use Terrashield spray, that is already prepared (details here), but my recipe is more cost effective, especially because you should apply this mosquito repellent more often than regular ones. As for the mosquito bites, Correct X is PERFECT, after you apply 2-3 times, it the swollen bumps really deflate. I also use it for really dry lips during wintertime :)
