All the bitesinsects do not have the same consequences. Those of mosquito, ant or horsefly are unpleasant but benign. L’aromatherapy will then effectively help to calm the itching. The bites of waspbee or hornet are on the other hand more annoying because potentially dangerous if one is allergic to them.
An anti-itch lotion
In a 10 ml bottle, mix: 1 ml of HEeucalyptus lemony, 1 ml of HE of chamomile romaine, 1 ml of lavender aspic, 1 ml of annual tansy EO (optional). Complete with calophylle vegetable oil. Apply a few drops to the bites, 2 to 3 times a day, until the itching disappears.
Express Solution
After cleaning the area, apply 1 pure drop of spike lavender EO and renew 1 to 2 times. If the bite is itchy: 1 pure drop of Java lemongrass HE or 2 to 3 drops of Roman chamomile HE diluted in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil of calendula, sovereign in the event of itching. On a tick bite, we favor essential oils of aspic lavender, true lavender, tea tree or saro (1 pure drop) for their antiseptic action.
