I mentioned in a past post summer is here!  Most of us want to spend more time outdoors enjoying a little summer fun!  I know I do!  One thing I have used for years to help keep from getting bit by mosquitos and other bugs is peppermint essential oil.  I put a drop on each wrist.  This seems to do the trick.  Bugs hate peppermint oil!

One other thing, I have also used this oil to help keep away bugs naturally in my home.  I put a few drops of the peppermint oil in a spay bottle with a little water (shake bottle well) and spray where I see ants etc. are coming inside. (Do not spray oil on fabric)

I have another use for the peppermint oil.  I put one drop behind each ear to help keep me a little cooler in the heat.  Two uses here…helps keeps the bugs away and helps keep you cooler!

I have used the Young Living Peppermint oil exclusively.  I love Young Living products and have used them for many years!  I hope you will try the peppermint oil.  It smells great and I think you will really like it!

I hope you have a great time in your outdoor activities whether you are camping or just going for walks!
