Harnessing the power of lemon against mosquito bites offers both relief and prevention. The anti-inflammatory properties of lemon relieve swelling after direct application to the affected area. Additionally, when combined with vinegar, its repellent effect is amplified, causing mosquitoes to flee light years away due to their aversion to this powerful mixture.
Beyond lemon, other natural repellents include mint, basil, lavender and catambran. Eucalyptus and lemongrass, known for their repellent properties, are common ingredients in commercial mosquito repellents. For a holistic approach to repelling bugs and soothing bites, consider making a simple mixture with lemon juice and aloe gel.
To make this powerful solution, extract lemon juice and aloe gel by combining them in equal parts. If fresh aloe is not available, opt for high purity aloe gel from the pharmacy. This blend of lemon and aloe not only repels mosquitoes but also provides relief after a bite. Once you have experienced its effectiveness, you will no longer want to do without it.
