The problem here (in India) is that none of these oils are available

commercially.

 

A reference to alternatives items like vegetables, etc that are available, would

be appreciated.

 

Yours sincerely

Here's a recipe to help keep the bugs away...

 

in a glass spray bottle fill it with 8 oz of filter water. Then add the

following organic essential oils...

 

5 drops Cedarwood

 

4 drops Lemon

 

2 drops Geranium

 

1 drop Citronella

 

you can also, add the following oils to the mixture...

 

Basil, juniper and rosemary to repel mosquitoes

 

Cajeput and pine to repel fleas

I hope that helps and good luck J

Basil, garlic, marigolds to keep insects away, oh and Listerine mouthwash. If

you use it in a spray bottle is supposed to keep mosquitoes away.

I have heared as well as experienced that mosquitoes

don't venture near about the soapnut tree.

People who go into the jungle especially at night

apply water soaked in soapnut to the exposed parts of

their bodies in order to avoid pestering by the

insects.

According to Wikipedia, 'soap nuts have gentle

insecticidal properties and are traditionally used for

removing lice from the scalp'.

Dear Steve; Stop ! India is the world's spice captial so what do you

mean you cannot find these herbs in India ? in any case;

 

if you eat Cayenne Pepper dishes this should help; as I said; go to a

pharmacy in Inida and ask pharmacist : THIAMINE VITMAIN B1 TABLETS

 

Then buy what he gives you; take one tab a day for 7 days; BUG BE GONE

 

bugs cannot stand Thiamne Vit. B1; you could do a B-complex if no B1;A

 

FOODS HIGH IN THIAMINE VIT. B1

 

WHOLE RICE BRAN; NUTRITIONAL YEAST (Health food store); CITRUS FRUIT

 

WHEAT GERM AVOCADOES; any BERRIES any FRUTIS any VEGGIES any GRAINS;

A. Add Vitamin c to the Vit. B1 or B-complex
