Lemon eucalyptus is a good oil for repelling insects, including mosquitos, fleas, lice and ticks (incl. castor-bean ticks, I. ricinus, I pacificus). Make a "bug-away" spray with 5-10 drops of the oil to 2 oz of water, using sprayer top. Shake well before misting away. Safe to spray on clothing as well as skin.
For topical spot treatment, this oil is cooling and pain-relieving in soft tissue injuries without bleeding, including sprains, contusions and insect bites. Combines well with Helichrysum or Roman camomile for this purpose.
For external use only. Properly dilute all essential oils in lotion or vegetable carrier oil before massage or other topical use. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant, nursing, have any health conditions, or are taking medications, please consult your healthcare provider prior to using essential oils.
Awesome smell, will like to diffuse it this winter.
