Don’t Bug Me! ™ - Teisha's Essential Oil Mix

This is an essential oil blend I have used quite successfully to keep unwanted bugs away from me in the hot sweaty Summer months. Of course, it can be used any time of the year you are outdoors and don’t want to be bothered with bugs landing on you and biting or stinging you.

I use roll-on containers I have purchased from various vendors who sell on Amazon. You can purchase roll-on containers at health food stores and other health related specialty stores if you prefer to purchase locally.

You will need:

• 1 container of your preferred good quality carrier oil, such as YoungLiving or grapeseed, almond, olive, etc.

• 1 bottle of YoungLiving Citronella

• 1 bottle of YoungLiving Lavender

• 1 bottle of YoungLiving Cedarwood

• 1 bottle of YoungLiving Lemon

• 1 bottle of YoungLiving White Angelica

Take the roller ball off the roller bottle. Fill ¾ full with the carrier oil.

Add the following Essential Oil amounts:

• 15 drops of YoungLiving Citronella

• 10 drops of YoungLiving Lavender

• 5 drops of YoungLiving Cedarwood

• 7 drops of YoungLiving Lemon

• 6 drops of YoungLiving White Angelica

If the bottle is not full after adding the YoungLiving Essential Oils to the Carrier Oil, add more carrier oil. Replace the plastic tip with the roller ball. Gently rock the roller ball container back and forth with your hand to mix. Roll the roller tip on the chosen area of your body and enjoy the benefits!

Ingredient Descriptions

Citronella

(Cymbopogon nardus)

Citronella oil is steam distilled from the leafy parts of the citronella plant, also known as Cymbopogon nardus. Thanks to its fresh, welcoming aroma, Citronella essential oil is a common element in perfumes and cosmetic products and is well known for its use in outdoor candles, sprays, lotions, and other camping and outdoor essentials.

As a relative of Lemongrass, Citronella has a slight citrus scent that provides a pleasant and inviting experience whenever it’s used. Its versatility makes it a great household product to add to your beauty routine or to refresh indoor and outdoor spaces.

Lavender

(Lavandula angustifolia)

Lavender essential oil has a scent that’s a wonderful blend of fresh, floral, clean, and calm. It’s this dynamic aroma that has made the plant a classic for perfumes, soaps, fresheners, and beauty products. As one of our most popular products, Lavender is a great beginner oil and a must for every home. Lavender essential oil isn’t just a favorite because of its classic scent—it’s also highly versatile. From skin care products to relaxing routines, this oil can infuse and enhance many areas of your life.

Cedarwood

(Cedrus atlantica)

Cedarwood essential oil’s woodsy, warm, balsamic aroma creates a relaxing, calming, and comforting atmosphere when diffused to help support a relaxing nighttime routine. The cleansing and moisturizing properties associated with Cedarwood also make it a great addition to your favorite skin care products. When applied topically, it can help maintain the appearance of healthy, youthful skin. You can also massage Cedarwood oil into your scalp to enhance the appearance of healthy-looking hair.

Lemon

(Citrus limon)

With its bright and joyful aroma, Lemon essential oil benefits skin and hair as much as its aroma enhances your environment. This best-selling oil can be used in a variety of ways: Mix it with your cleaning products, use it during your nighttime skin care routine, or add a drop to your conditioner for a great scent. This oil is a key ingredient in many hair and skin care products, Thieves® cleaning products, and essential oil blends such as Thieves®, Citrus Fresh™, Clarity™, Joy™ and Harmony™. Because citrus oil can cause photosensitivity, avoid applying Lemon to exposed skin before spending time outside.

White Angelica

(beautifully fragranced blend)

Lovingly harvested from plants native to exotic destinations around the world, the 10 essential oils in White Angelica come together to create a one-of-a-kind blend. Geranium, Ylang Ylang, Melissa, and Rose provide sweet, floral notes; Bergamot and Melissa offer a boost of bright citrus; and Myrrh, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Hyssop, and Sacred Sandalwood balance the blend with a warm, woodsy base. With the aroma of White Angelica essential oil blend, you can create a positive atmosphere and inspire feelings of security and optimism—no matter what life throws at you. People also love White Angelica for its skin-beautifying benefits when applied topically. Add a couple drops to your favorite lotion to give your skin the TLC it needs.
