Insect bites home remedy...
ouch! no more!
I have written about insects bites before when I gave you home remedy for mosquito bite and bee sting. Both of these remedies have in common the use of lavender oil, an essential oil that not only smells heavenly but also has powerful healing properties.
Our reader Candy sent us this insect bites home remedy, a balm recipe that has lavender oil as one of the ingredients.
We spend the summers out on the lake and of course, my kids and I always end up covered in insect bites. My mom's friend shared this recipe with me and I recommend it to everyone exposed to insects. Apply it liberally, it is great! It reduces swelling and redness and there is almost no itching.
