There are many different ways to repel mosquitoes such as mosquito sprays, mosquito incense, mosquito lamps… In addition, you can also use natural ingredients available in the house to repel mosquitoes.
To repel mosquitoes, you can use mugwort leaves. This vegetable not only brings health benefits but also has a very good mosquito-repelling effect.
Housewarming with mugwort
Take some dried mugwort leaves and roll them into small balls. Place the dried mugwort in a ceramic bowl and light it on fire. Use the mugwort incense to fumigate the house, especially in areas where mosquitoes often gather.
Mugwort leaves are not harmful to the body and also give off a faint scent, helping to eliminate unpleasant odors in the house.
When fumigating the house with mugwort leaves, you should open the door to let the air circulate and avoid suffocation.
Cleaning the house with mugwort leaves
Take a handful of mugwort leaves, put them in a jar, and pour boiling water over them. Soak the mugwort leaves until the essence dissolves into the water. Wait for the water to cool, then filter out the residue and use the mugwort leaf water to mop the floor.
In the summer, using mugwort leaf water to clean the house not only helps repel mosquitoes but also leaves a pleasant mugwort scent.
Make mosquito repellent spray
You can soak mugwort leaves in hot water to dissolve the essence in the leaves into the water. Then, pour the water into a spray bottle and screw the cap back on.
Use this water to spray on your limbs when leaving the house. Mosquitoes smelling the wormwood will not dare to come near and bite you.
Pillow
Putting dried mugwort leaves in your pillow also brings special benefits. The aroma of mugwort leaves can help calm the nerves, improve sleep, and reduce fatigue. In addition, it also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. This method can be used by both the elderly and children.
Soak feet with mugwort leaves
You can use mugwort leaves to boil water to soak your feet. This method helps promote blood circulation, prevent colds, and reduce bone and joint pain. Soaking your feet with mugwort leaves also helps leave a scent on the skin, thereby preventing mosquito bites.
