This summer my family has been hanging out in the pool almost every day.\u00a0 \u00a0It’s a small pool, but big enough to float around and cool off.\u00a0 I love it.\u00a0 Everyone loves it.\u00a0 It’s a big draw for the neighborhood kids.\u00a0 There is only 1 problem.\u00a0 The bees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

In the last few weeks the bees have gotten more and more aggressive.\u00a0 Especially around the pool and in the garden.\u00a0 Almost everyone has been stung at least once.\u00a0 Children and adults alike, both in and out of the pool.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

I don’t know where you live, but when I was in South Dakota mosquitoes and chiggers where the bigger problems.\u00a0 The bees were there too, and wasps.\u00a0 But they seem to get worse in the last part of summer and early fall.\u00a0 The way to work with all of these pest bites are the same.\u00a0 So what are we to do?<\/p>

Over the years I’ve developed 3 main go too solutions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At the first OUCHIE, even before the swelling starts or the tears I run for the Helichrysum essential oil.\u00a0 Helichrysum Helichrysum<\/em> italicum\u00a0<\/em>essential oil works fast.\u00a0 Easing the sting, itch or bite within minutes.\u00a0 \u00a0Even a 3 year old doesn’t remember being stung or bitten.\u00a0 Pretty incredible right?\u00a0 And yet it’s true.\u00a0<\/p>

As a side caveat, I also use Helichysum\u00a0 EO for things like slamming your hand in the door and the like.\u00a0 With great success I might add.\u00a0 For example, the other day my daughter pinched her thumb in the camper door.\u00a0 By the time she got home it was swelling and hurt pretty bad.\u00a0 A few Drops on Helichysum on the thumb a few times that day.\u00a0 I also applied\u00a0 some Dharma Oil<\/a><\/strong> from the elbow down.\u00a0 Things healed up fast.\u00a0 She did not loose the nail and the normal color returned before bedtime.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Helichysum<\/em> italicum<\/em>, also called Pearly Everlasting and Immortal, is native to the Mediterranean.\u00a0 \u00a0This herb has many uses.\u00a0 In commerce today, it is marketed as a skin rejuvenator.\u00a0 Which is also one of the traditional applications.\u00a0 The EO and the plant in varies applications does help to keep the skin young and vibrant.\u00a0 Thus the name “immoral”.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>

Please know that any substance that rejuvinates skin cells, and epidermal tissue has a great many uses.\u00a0 The same is true of Helichysum.\u00a0 I use it in formula to help heal scar tissue inside and out, to ease age lines and as an anti-inflammatory.\u00a0 In my experience immortal is a very effective anti-inflammatory agent, and is how I most often use this essential oil.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For a bee stings, bug bites, bumps, bruises and banged up parts, I like a pre-diluted formula, mixed with Jojoba oil.\u00a0 Aura Cacia has a perfect product for this use.\u00a0 I get mine from eViamins<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 A drop or two is really all you need.\u00a0 Especially if you catch it soon enough.\u00a0 \u00a0We keep ours out by the pool.\u00a0 But gotta tell you, I don’t go camping without it.<\/p>
