Due to their antiseptic properties,
Young Living essential oils are very effective for treating a variety of insect
bites. Some of the more common pests – along with the best oils for treating
their bite or sting – are listed below:
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes love me! If I am around, no
one else gets bitten. I have found that applying Purification to the bite
quickly reduces the swelling and stops the itching. You can also try Melrose, Citronella, Lavender, Eucalyptus
Globulus,
Tea Tree, Peppermint, Rosemary or PanAway.
Bee
Stings
For bee stings, try Melrose, Lavender, Idaho Tansy, Peppermint, Wintergreen, Purification or PanAway.
Spider
Bites
For Black Widow or Brown Recluse spider
bites, seek emergency care immediately. Until you reach the treatment center,
apply Purification, Thieves or PanAway every 10
minutes.
Chiggers
and Ticks
For chigger and tick bites, you need to
remove the insect before treating the bite. Sometimes smothering the chiggers
helps. A recently blown out match head applied to the tick may cause it to let
go, but be careful to only touch the tick. You can also try mixing Oregano and Thyme 50:50 and applying
1-2 drops over the bite area. The insects will usually squirm to get away from
the oils. After removing the culprit, treat the bites with any of the
following: Tea Tree, Peppermint, Lavender, Rosemary, Melrose, Thieves or R.C.
