In reply to Rabbi's Wife. It seems that any and all of these work in varying degrees. You basically need to try one, and if it doesn't work for you, try another or a different combination. Right now I am using the Moraz brand Toosh-X and it works pretty well. I think it has a combination of several of these, but it's expensive and we go through it quickly. I definitely want to try making some of my own.

In reply to Chica Organica. I've heard about plantain leaf, and it sounds wonderful. I would love to know if it's growing around here so that I can use it. Thanks for confirming that it's worthwhile!

Thanks for this insightful post. So far the best thing that I have found to work for bee stings, painful bug bites,wasp stings and all sorts of skin conditions is organic plantain leaf. I have on more than one embarrassing occasion chewed some up and placed it on a nasty sting or bite with 100% results every time. I also make salves with it for diaper rash and it also works wonderfully and keeps our new baby rash free 100% of the time while avoiding toxic creams.
This wonder herb works because it draws out infection and acts as an anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and is also used by many herb lovers to stop the bleeding of an open wound.

Hi, I’m a friend of Beth! Do just Citronella and eucalyptus work on their own? or just Citronella? I hate the smell of eucalyptus (crazy, I know). I know you’re supposed to avoid Tea tree oil and Lavender oil when you’re pregnant and nursing, which I seem to always be lately.
