Aloe vera: It contains over 130 active compounds and 34 amino acids that are beneficial to your skin. | Calendula: An herb with soothing, moisturizing and rejuvenating properties. | Chamomile: The most soothing herb of all, whether used in a tea or applied to the skin. It is rich in the bioflavonoids apigenin, luteolin and quercetin. |
Cinnamon: In addition to possibly repelling mosquitoes, cinnamon has antibacterial and antifungal properties. | Cucumbers are helpful for reducing swelling. | Raw organic honey: An especially powerful variety is Manuka honey from New Zealand, made from bees that feed on flowers of the Manuka bush, also known as the "Tea Tree." |
Lavender: One of the most popular essential oils for its calming scent, lavender is as antimicrobial as it is soothing. | Neem oil: Effective against fungal conditions, boils, eczema, and ringworm, and it would undoubtedly help an insect bite as well. | Tea Tree oil: Helpful for healing cuts, burns, infections and a multitude of other skin afflictions. It is also a good antimicrobial, including fungal infections. |
Basil contains camphor and thymol, two compounds that can relieve itching. Either crush up some fresh herb and apply directly to the bite, or buy the essential oil. | Lemon and lime both have anti-itch, antibacterial and antimicrobial actions. Avoid applying citrus juices to your skin when outdoors however, as blistering can occur when exposed to sunlight. | Peppermint—the cooling sensation can block other sensations, such as itching, providing temporary relief. Either the essential oil or crushed fresh leaves will do. |
