Fall Self-Care: Pamper Yourself with Cozy Essentials
Ah, fall! A season of change, crisp air, and brilliant foliage. It’s that magical time when nature puts on a fiery show, and we all start to crave those warm, comforting moments indoors.
Summer harvest time… the universe celebrates this time of the year with joy, sunshine, and warmth. While enjoying life in summer time, we must be aware of the tiny insects – staring at us menacingly and hungrily. Mosquitoes, for instance, are more active and bothersome during the warm seasons and can potentially cause an itchy bite reaction. Today, we will introduce the importance of natural bug repellent and summarize the ingredients, tools, or essential oils we can utilize to keep mosquitos and bugs away the natural way!
As many of you know, mosquitos, insects, and bugs may pass down infected bites that will transmit viruses and fatal diseases. Most of the time, “prevention is the best policy.” Yet, it’s easy to say but hard to do. The market has many methods and consumer goods to prevent mosquito or insect bites. You may try the following methods as a bug control approach:
The goals of insect repellents are not about killing insects but to repel them away with the smell they do not like. The chemical Deet, also known as diethyltoluamide, is a well-known active ingredient.
As consumers we need to be aware of potential dangers of Deet insect repellent and look for natural alternatives. This is when all natural insect repellent products come into play. For our loved ones, those who we want to protect from insects as well as harmful repellents such as DEET.
You may wonder, if natural bug repellents are still useful without the chemical Deet? That’s a great question, and we will go over four effective scents from natural plants that will repel bugs effectively the safe natural way.
Sweet grass, also known as holy grass or vanilla sweetgrass, is used as natural insect repellent by native indigenous people. If you are interested in learning how to plant your own sweetgrass as your natural insect repellent, check out our most popular blog post here!
What comes to your mind when you hear rosemary? It’s used to season many foods! Mine was steak… Yet do you know it is widely used to repel insects or bugs like mosquitoes? Rosmarinus Officinalis is a plant native to the southern Mediterranean European countries. Many natural insect repellents add rosemary as an active ingredient because of its extracted compounds, borneol and camphor (amnh.org, 2009).
Some people also call it “citrosa.” This plant can be seen in southern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand but is widely marketed as a commercial good for repelling mosquitoes because of its extracted components, borneol and camphor, in North America and Europa (amnh.org, 2009). Camphor is a powerful pain reliever when used topically. It will also help reduce swelling. The effective compounds, including limonene, citrosa, and geraniol, deliver scents that can repel insects when we properly applied to skin or clothing.
Lemongrrass is known as a perennial herb, which can be found in Australia, Africa, India, South America, and the United States. Many consider this plant a medicinal plant and use it in natural insect repellents because of its chemical components: alpha-pinene, citronella, citronellol, and geraniol (amnh.org, 2009).

Some of you may know tea tree oil as melaleuca oil. It is an essential oil with a fresh camphoraceous odor. Because of its antibacterial and anti-fungal natural extracts, people often use tea tree oil topically to soothe acne, athletes’ foot, nail fungus, and insect bites.
Sound familiar? Many of you may even picture its particular scent without smelling it because of teas, candy, and toothpaste you’ve tasted before. The effective chemical components are menthol and menthone. They help make the bug bite soother cooling and refreshing, and they pair well with the tea tree for making a very pleasing scent you will love using!
