I don’t know if it’s placebo or not but putting peppermint essential oil on bug bites seems to help me.
Excellent information. Thank you!
Lavander for itchiness ughh so gooood!! I got ringworm and discovered it. The cream from the doctor get rid of it, but the lavender oil was the only thing getting rid of the itchiness. Now I use it every time I get itchy even in intimate areas an it is anti fungi an anti bacterial excellent for the girlies 💅✨
My favourite one is olive. Does not have a strong fragrance, but works well with fries.
