Even though summer is more than half over, camping continues on. We are actually coming up on one of the busiest camping holidays of the year, Labor Day. When you think of camping the thing you might think of first is bugs. Dealing with the creepy crawlers is definitely not a definition of a “good time”. Trying to repel them and if an insect happens to bite you, you definitely don’t want to deal with the symptoms of the bite. It can be irritating and can create an issue with your camping trip.
There are essential oils that can be used to repel these woodland crawlers. Plus, if you do get bit, there are oils to help.
When think about repelling insects the oils you can use are: clove, eucalyptus, lavender, lemongrass, orange, peppermint (repels ants). Mix with a fractionated coconut oil and apply to the skin. Cure Oils also has two types of blends that can help. The first is called Repel and has an original scent of combined essential oils. The second is called Nature and has a scent mask for huntsmen, and outdoorsmen, it smells like products of the earth (soil, leaves, etc.).
Now say you happen to get bit by a pesky bug. These oils can help relieve the pain and itching: chamomile, tea tree, lavender, and peppermint. Applying these helpful oils directly to the site can alleviate that itching and/or pain.
Using essential oils is much more beneficial for yourself and the environment. You are no longer applying chemicals that can absorb into the skin and into your body. Plus, you are helping the environment too.
