Read my thoughts and musings on everything from natural health to parenting, essential oils to homeschooling and more. I also have many blog posts on specific essential oils where you can learn about their benefits and some easy ways to use them!
TerraShield Recipes
It is no secret, TerraShield is fabulous at keeping the bugs away. It is a blend of Lemongrass, Thyme, Cedarwood, Geranium, and Pepperment with a sesame see oil base. All of these oils are known for repelling pests. If you love the great outdoors, TerraShield is a must! It is also safe for the whole family! (WIN!!)
Some people use TerraShield by itself to repel the bugs. They put it in the diffuser, add it to lotion and rub it in their skin, or mix it with water or witch hazel and spray it on themselves.
Others love to mix it with other powerful bug repelling oils. The great thing about these recipes are you will save your family from DEET. DEET is a great way to repel mosquitos, but there is concern about how safe it is. In this blog post I'm going to share some DEET-free recipes with you! So if you are looking for some natural alternatives, you have come to the right place!
