I just wanted to thank you for your magnesium video, it has helped me tremendously. My anxiety was terrible before I tried that. That and exercise together have given me good coping mechanisms for my issues.
Hey Dr. Axe...I have recently changed my life with natural foods...you have really helped me do so with your videos...thank you so much! AlsoI have been running into information on Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C...whats your take on this? Maybe you can do something on this...again thanks for everything Dr. Axe
How about a video on how to deal with the inflammation from mosquito bites? Does milk thistle extract make a difference? What about those devices that heat up fast, and pretty much spot-burn the bites, as they claim the heat breaks down the toxins your body is reacting to? Topical soothing ointments?
Thank you Misty. I live by the ocean and sometimes I wonder if that has anything to do with these pests. The raccoons also can be a little scary since I have my cats outside. The possums actually eat alongside my cats😂. I don't mind them as much. They help keep my yard clean.
Ciao Dr. Axe! I love your video, all your wonderful information and thorough explanations, thank you! I bought a couple of your books and love them- in the process of reading & absorbing all your incredible information! I have a couple questions for you: I live in Italy- so not easy to find the same kind of supplies you are using nor the vast selection to choose from, and certainly much more expensive! I was wondering the difference between using a glass roll top bottle that has a metal ball verses one with a plastic ball; could the metal ball leach dangerous chemicals in the oils (made in China= no real quality control or guarantees!), but I heard the plastic can be degraded from the oils (& can also be dangerous leaching chemicals in the oil when hot)? What do you think? Moreover, is it better to use an amber or blue tinted bottle verses a clear bottle to preserve the oils from degrading? How long would a batch of the Bug repellent last once filled in the bottles? Should they be kept in the refrigerator? For your recipe: can I use Witch Hazel astringent (used for my face; from a beauty supply) or is that different type? Also, any apple cider vinegar can be used- better organic? If working in the garden outdoors, how often does the repellent need to be reapplied (since there's no way around sweating from the humidity!) I have used a natural type that was made up from and purchased from my local pharmacy, but it seems not to deter the mosquitos, as I got majorly bit up everywhere- even after I used the spray, rubbing it in over my body!! I grow in my garden rosemary, lavender, etc. Is there a recipe, for future use, that would allow me to dry & use those herbs in a base liquid (aloe vera, vinegar, neem oil, etc.) to extract those natural properties that I could later use in place of buying those essential oils? Maybe it is a bit complicated at this point, so the essential oils are quicker & easier to use for a novice? Do you have a referral for a trustworthy & ethical company for essential oils that also supplies customers in Europe; the cost of all the supplies is already quite the investment, and the additional shipping cost (if they even make it here) are a huge additional cost! I appreciate any advice and information you could pass my way. Thank you again! ❤Paj Tognetti
I always get confused on directions because I am very literal. Does this mean 40 drops of each essential oil or 40 drops total which would be like 13 drops of each etc.. I think this is an important point. If anyone can clear this up for me. Appreciated!
HI the 40 drops essential oils is that 40 drops of the lemon Eucalyptus oil and citronella essential oil, then i add the apple cider vinegar will this work
Dr Axe is that 40 drops total or 40 drops of each of those oils I am so going to try this i am a mosquito magnet i think i get invited to outside party's because they are all drawn to me and everyone else is safe hahaha...Thank you !! Love your video's so informative !
"40 drops essential oils (eucalyptus, lemongrass, citronella, tea tree or rosemary)". Is it all together 40 drops, or each one of them should be 40 drops?
It seems that the smaller my kids are the more they get bite. The other day my toddler got 5 bites while we were outside but my other 4 kids got none. Which oil is safe for young kids?
U mentioned it the lemongrass oil was good for pets? Correct? Im going camping and taking my toy yorkie would love to know if i can put the lemin grass oil or any of the other oils on his hair or clothes? Is it safe for cats as well? Thank u so much..i enjoy and love the tips, have a blessed day:)
Me & my daughters’ family are going on a tropical vacation soon & I want to make a bug or mosquito spray for my grandsons ages 3, 5 & 7. Will your bug spray be safe for these boys?
peppermint is great for repelling rodents, it messes with their scent paths inside the home and for outside (such as around your trash cans) it repels the larger rodents as they just plain don't like the smell.
I AM DOING KETO BUT MOSQUITOES RARELY EVER BITE ME. MY HUSBAND IS 6 FOOT 2 INCHES TALL AND 150 LBS. I CAN SIT NEAR HIM AND THEY CHEW HIM UP. I CALL HIM MY NATURAL MOSQUITO REPELLENT. LOL! IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY EVEN BEFORE KETO WHEN I WAS OVER 200 LBS. I AM NOW AT 172 LBS. SO WHY DON'T MOSQUITOES GO AFTER ME DR. AXE?
They onky talk about moskytos but i get horrible bites or stings from little flie's. All over my body, it itches and hurts that it makes stress and fast heart beat and let me barely sleep, all summer long till now october, these tiny fly's in my house, i get cracy and frustraited, i do not remember something like this befor. It gets worse when i dress on warm cloths cause it is getting cold here i was hoping it will stop then, but no it does not stop. Heeeellllpppp!!!!!
First, clean entire house. Thoroughly clean. Then put baking soda all over the place. Then go use your hair blower. Specially places where u know they stay. It works for me. I did these for 1 week. And all gone.

Lavendar is great too
GREAT ADVICE. WELL PRESENTED

Excellent video. Just a little confusing on the 40 drops of EO when several different ones are mentioned. Thanks.

Thank you so much, Dr. Axe! Very good recipe, because I get eaten up by bugs; even when I have on Cutters!!
I always get confused on directions because I am very literal. Does this mean 40 drops of each essential oil or 40 drops total which would be like 13 drops of each etc.. I think this is an important point. If anyone can clear this up for me. Appreciated!
TheFournobletruths i
b/c the word "or" is used, this implies that you need 40 drops total of either, plus you can mix.
I had the same question. 40 drops of EO, but it doesn't say how many for each one.
I'm confused too
Total of 40 drops of whatever combination of oils you choose...
I am trying to get pregnant and terrified of getting some type of mosquito borne illness. Thanks you for this information!!
Cherisse Guerrero are you pregnant
Dude , it’s freaking HOT 🥵, here in Louisiana, we wear as little as Possible 🤷♀️

HI the 40 drops essential oils is that 40 drops of the lemon Eucalyptus oil and citronella essential oil, then i add the apple cider vinegar will this work
No I believe combination of..
Thank you so much for this video.
Hi. How often should I reapply this homemade bugspray? 🤔
How many hours of protection from that spray?
Can I put this in aluminum spray bottles?
Can you make a video on peanut oil or extra virgin peanut oil, how is this oil for health?
Dr Axe is that 40 drops total or 40 drops of each of those oils I am so going to try this i am a mosquito magnet i think i get invited to outside party's because they are all drawn to me and everyone else is safe hahaha...Thank you !! Love your video's so informative !
40 drops of each ? Please someone clarify ?
@@savedbyJesus2019 I think he might probably mean 40 drops total so you can mix all the oils to make the 40 drops
Interesting info thanks.

Insects love sweat... after I have a shower they’re not so interested. Thanks Josh..
"40 drops essential oils (eucalyptus, lemongrass, citronella, tea tree or rosemary)". Is it all together 40 drops, or each one of them should be 40 drops?

Cool! Definitely going to give this spray a try!
Thank you so much
Are these safe for dogs as well? 🙄
It seems that the smaller my kids are the more they get bite. The other day my toddler got 5 bites while we were outside but my other 4 kids got none. Which oil is safe for young kids?

Myheart2yours It was mentioned

Lol seriously??
Question please.
Will spraying these oils on my skin while hiking during the summer
make me get sun burns??
The oils themselves bear risk of chemical burns.
Me & my daughters’ family are going on a tropical vacation soon & I want to make a bug or mosquito spray for my grandsons ages 3, 5 & 7. Will your bug spray be safe for these boys?
No
Oh so.. Mosquitos are attracted to me. Well that's a compliment I guess.
is this baby or toddler safe?
Hi. Thanks you. Will these work for mice, possums, skunks etc. I live in a jungle😳
peppermint is great for repelling rodents, it messes with their scent paths inside the home and for outside (such as around your trash cans) it repels the larger rodents as they just plain don't like the smell.
Btw I did use tea tree with oregano oil today, I still got a new bite so doesn't work
Great news people my nite mare finish just taked VITAMINE B 12 ONE A DAY.

sir how to i will increase my weight 5kgs jast 30days naturally..??
ACV is supposed to attract gnats.
Is the 40 drops of oils the total amount or is it 40 drops of each?
Clayton Chase at 3:52 it shows 40 drops of any of the oils. He suggested a mixture of the 3 oils.
Clayton Chase I think it's 10 drops of each of the oils listed, there were 4 of them on that line.
Clayton Chase it is 40 drops total. I will do:
10 drops eucalyptus lemon
10 drops citronella
10 drops lemongrass
5 drops tea tree
5 drops rosemary
Your DIY Natural Bug Repellent is not working for me.
Although I'm getting fewer bites than usual.
wish i could give more thumbs up!
vitamin B-1 works great.
How do you use it? on you skin? or you drink it?

My husband is 6'7. When we went on our honeymoon in Costa Rica he got destroyed. Haha. I think I got bit once.
When making your own bug spray repellent, you mix all those essential oils together?
That's right Maria!
@@drjoshaxe - since many synthetics are made by mixing two things together, what are we making when we mix these?
Will I smell like vinegar? 😂
Can you link to the bug repellent recipe?
