A natural potion from Mother Earth News. Essential oils; basil, cedarwood, citronella, juniper, lemon, myrrh, palmarosa, pine, rose geranium and/or rosemary are available at health food stores. Ingredients:
2 1/2 teaspoons essential oils (in any combination of the the oils listed in the introduction) |
1 cup everclear alcohol (190-proof grain alcohol available in liquor stores) |
Directions:
1. Place ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously.
2. Transfer to small bottles for storage.
3. To use, rub a small amount on any exposed skin (test first to be sure your skin will not be adversely affected by the repellent) or dab it on clothing.
4. Experiment a little to find which essential oils work best with your body chemistry.
5. If you’re lucky, you also will like the way they smell; otherwise, add a few drops of peppermint oil to fine-tune the fragrance.
