Mosquito Repellents:  PURIFICATION and Eucalyptus Essential Oils

“Harsh chemicals in common pesticides can cause cancer and immune system failures.  Using natural essential oils, plant extracts, is a far safer way to repel mosquito’s and other insects naturally,” according to Dr. Len Horowitz author of “Death in the Air,  Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare”.

On Friday, August 8, 2002, Dr. Len Horowitz appeared on national television (Fox News network) to decry the chemical spraying associated with West Nile Virus.  Dr. Horowitz recommended 3 well known natural insect repellents considered useful in helping to prevent mosquito bites that may transmit infectious agents such as the West Nile Virus.

These included:

     Lemongrass                                        
     Eucalyptus
     Citronella

The blend of Purification is a perfect choice because it contains six different single oils – of which four are registered with the EPA as insect repellents.  [Summary chart for plant oils pesticide active ingredients can be located on www.epa.gov]  Two of the six single oils inside Purification are Citronella and Lemongrass.

A visit to the American College of Physicians/ American Society of Internal Medicine states historically, “The strategies for reducing the incidence of mosquito-borne disease have been two-pronged, centering around habitat control and the use of personal protection in the form of insect repellents”.  They further sate, “the ideal agent would repel multiple species of biting arthropods, remain effective for at least 8 hours, cause no irritation to the skin or mucous membranes, cause no systemic toxicity, be resistant to abrasion and rub-off, and be greaseless and odorless.”

Purification is perfect for this because it has multiple essential oils, working simultaneously, providing broad-spectrum coverage.  It is a broad-spectrum that is effective against mosquitoes, biting flies, chiggers, fleas and ticks because one does not know which specific species it may be up against.   All Therapeutic Grade A Essential Oils (Purification) stay effective for 8 to 12 hours, are non-toxic, greaseless and absorb into the skin.  Their only side-effects are healthy to the body - - - a natural antiseptic!  They can be diffused into an area, or sprayed onto window screens or clothing, rubbed onto the skin or onto an animals coat (makes an especially good natural flea color) for additional repelling action.

Purification Contains:

Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) which is antiseptic, antibacterial, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, insecticidal, and soothing to the tissues. 
Citronella is registered with the EPA as an insect repellent.

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus)  has strong antifungal properties when applied topically.  Lemongrass is registered with the EPA as an insect repellent.

Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis CT) is antiseptic, anti-microbial and anti-infectious.  Rosemary is registered with the EPA as a Biopesticide - Repellent.

Melaleuca (Melaleuca alternifolia)   is a traditional antiseptic, anti-infectious, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, immune-stimulating and a neurotonic.

Lavandin (Lavandula x hybrida) a strong antiseptic also registered with the EPA as an insect repellent.

Myrtle (Myrtus communis) is antibacterial and may support immune function in fighting infectious disease. 

WARNING NOTE:  The EPA website endorses DEET very heavily.  DEET stands for N, N-diethyl-3-methybenzamide.  A detailed look at DEET shows that toxic actions does and can occur.  Visit www.acponline.org/journals/annals/01jun98/mosqutb4.htm for a table reporting major signs and symptoms attributed to exposure to DEET.  It is apparent from looking at this chart that DEET should not be applied to children or possibly used for extended periods of time by anyone.

DEET is a synthetic mainly produced by 3M Corp., but sold to any commercial companies for their brand-name products.
