Looking for natural mosquito repellent? look no further.
Mosquitoes are small, flying insects and we can find them all over the world. The female mosquito stings animals with hot blood to obtain protein. It uses it to make the eggs it lays. Like the bloodsuckers, they secrete saliva in the area of the bite that prevents the clotting and sealing of the wound. The mosquitoes choose us as their “victim”, according to the smells from our bodies. As everyone knows, each person has his own special smell. The smells change during different periods of a person’s life (for example, in women during their menstruation). Therefore, mosquitoes stung different people at different times.
Mosquito bites are irritating and cause itchiness. They may cause the transmission of pathogens in Israel only in isolated incidents, such as infecting the western virus. (2). The need for a Natural Mosquito Repellent is necessary.
Lavender has developed a mosquito repellent cream that contains an effective blend of active oils and mosquito repellents. Our mosquito repellent mixture of lavender is gentle, therefore it is suitable for children.
Lavender’s Blitush Mosquito Repellent Cream contains several essential oils. We added them because we know that they are highly effective in preventing insect bites.
Thyme essential oil – substances produced from the etheric etymic oil effectively repel mosquitoes in people. Some have even shown a more effective rejection than DEET and for a longer period of time. (3). The essential oil of lavender, rosemary, thyme and eucalyptus are very effective according to some other research (4). The Essential oil of geranium and preservatives are effective in preventing mosquito bites according to other studies (5).
The Essential oil of lemongrass is also known for its ability to reject insects.
Clove oil is also found to be effective in the rejection of pathogenic insects (6)
