Lemon has many properties. In addition to being used to season food, it is the best for hygiene and cleanliness. Degreases and polishes pots and dishes, but also the sink and ceramic hob.

It is also useful in  reducing swelling caused by mosquito bites  . In pharmacies, supermarkets, minimarkets, in summer there are many products that are  offered as a remedy for the itching  and swelling caused by the bites of these annoying insects. Although they don’t always work.

There are herbal products   , others based on ammonia, and obviously there are cortisone creams, which have many contraindications. In addition, many products cause allergies and irritations. Before giving in to advertising, it is worth experimenting with natural products.

Lemon, this is how it is used against mosquito bites

There are various natural remedies against mosquito bites,  including lemon, which reduces swelling  , aloe, which mainly reduces itching, and ice. In addition to thinking about how to relieve ailments caused by mosquito bites, we must also think about prevention.

Mosquitoes can be  repelled by choosing light-coloured clothing,  because mosquitoes are attracted to dark clothing as well as sweat. Then obviously it all depends on the areas you are in. Mosquitoes are especially concentrated in  swampy or lake areas  , there are so many that it is really impossible to escape.

As for lemon, it is used against swelling and itching and it works.  Simply squeeze some of the juice  directly onto the bite and watch it suddenly shrink. So it is miraculous if used along with vinegar. In this case the mosquitoes will be light years away, because for them  vinegar and lemon together are very disgusting  .

Another unpleasant smell is onion, which, however, cannot be placed in the bedroom as a repellent. In this case, mint, basil or lavender are recommended. In addition to these plants, there is also the  catambra  , which is an odorless plant for us, but  unbearable for mosquitoes  . Finally, there is also  eucalyptus and lemongrass  . It is no coincidence that many mosquito repellent products are made with these two ingredients.

Mixture to repel mosquitoes and relieve itching

Try preparing this mixture that will help you both repel insects and  mosquitoes  and soothe your skin after a bite.

Take a lemon, extract all the juice by filtering out the fiber and seeds, then take an aloe leaf and extract all the gel.

You will have to divide  the lemon  and  aloe  into equal parts. If you don’t have an aloe plant at home, don’t worry, just buy pure aloe gel at the pharmacy, at least 99%, for optimal results. You won’t be able to do without it.
