Doterra Essential Oils
So one of the main reasons I use Doterra essential oils to repel insects. I am pretty susceptible to mosquito bites, but I discovered that mosquitos don’t like the scent of many of these essential oils. Doterra actually has a specific oil for a bug repellent called Terra Shield, which is good, although the smell is pretty strong. I instead usually make my own mixture, but sometimes I will also mix in some Terra Shield as well. But normally I will use a mixture of Peppermint(which I really like the smell of), and Tea tree. These two essential oils mixed together do a great job at repelling mosquitos. But like I mentioned, sometimes I will add a little Terra shield just in case I want extra protection, but in my experience tea tree and peppermint work great. I also sometimes add a little bit of lemon oil because I love the smell. But lemon can be a little harder on your skin so you should use it sparingly. Lavender is also a good repellent. So in order to make the mixture you just need fractionated oil, a mini spray bottle, and about 4-7 drops of each of those essential oils(lemon no more than 4, probably 2 or 3 is fine). You put it in the bottle, shake it up and then you spray it on your legs, arms and neck where mosquitos could potentially bite. This has worked great for me.
Peppermint is also good for digestion. So, a great thing to do is to put a few drops of oil in your hand with some coconut oil and rub it on your stomach and/or back and it will help soothe stomach aches or aid in general digestion. I have put the links for what you would need below. Another option for buying the oils is straight from the Doterra website, sometimes you can get good deals with bundling oils. Doterra also many other oils and oils blends for various benefits such as a ginger oil for digestion and a turmeric oil for inflammation.
