Therapeutic Properties

Applications

Topical:

Apply on desired location to keep mosquitos from biting.

Safe for use during pregnancy or lactation.

Ok for children 2+. We are often asked if this is suitable for children younger than two years.  We would not suggest this with children younger than 8 months. For little ones older than that, a skin patch test is recommended.  An ideal application for this young age would be to spray it in your hands and rub them together. Then gently pat your little one's skin and clothes. That will give her the fragrance that deters mosquitoes, but will not overdo it by applying too much directly on the skin.

Do not diffuse this blend.  It could clog your diffuser.

Cautions

All cautions listed for individual oils do not include those cautions from ingestion. It is not advised to take essential oils internally unless under the guidance of a licensed physician who is also certified in aromatherapy. 

Ylang Ylang:

Repeated use can possibly result in contact sensitization.  Take care when using Ylang Ylang, for too high a concentration or using it for too long a time, can give rise to nausea and/or headache (2. p. 315).  Ylang-ylang essential oil has a deeply relaxing effect and should not be used prior to driving, operating machinery, or doing other tasks that require concentration (3. p. 421).  Use with caution on children under the age of two due to possible skin irritation.

Catnip:

Skin sensitization (low risk); may be psychotropic. (1. p. 237)

Eucalyptus Globulus:

Not intended for small children.  Use with caution while breastfeeding.  Avoid using this oil with homeopathic remedies.  Do not apply to or near the face of infants and children under the age of 10 (can cause breathing problems in babies and young children).

Litsea:

Contraindicated with drugs that are metabolized by CYP2B6.  If you are unsure, consult your physician.  Hazards: Drug interaction; teratogenicity (A teratogen is an agent that can disturb the development of the embryo or fetus); skin allergy.   Cautions: Hypersensitive, diseased or damaged skin, diabetes medication, children under 2 years of age. Use with caution orally during pregnancy or lactation. (1. p. 349-350) Max daily oral dose is 2 drops. 

If for any reason you get essential oils in your eyes, put carrier oil along the eyebrows above the eyes and on the cheekbones below the eyes.

Do not put essential oils inside your ear canal.

Bugs Away!

I have a farm in Oklahoma, so you can imagine the ticks, fleas, flies and mosquitoes I have around the place. Even with all the insect activity around my place, I can confidently send my kids and myself outdoors wearing this all natural repellant and have peace of mind that we are protected. Even near our pond, when we have this repellant on, the bugs stay away!

Mosquito repellent

This is the best mosquito repellent I have ever used and it smells fantastic. I certainly will be ordering this again as well as other oils. I love this Christian company, the employees and the prices are great. Sandy C

Funny story with Mosquito Repellent!

So, I love my Mosquito repellent, it works so well at keeping the mosquitoes away, but... I have discovered that cats absolutely LOVE the stuff!! LOL I am NOT a fan of cats... probably should state that up front. But only because they make me sneeze. I was at a friend's house and for the life of me couldn't understand why the cat kept zeroing in on me! I mean I literally have never given it one single reason to come to me. I always shoo it away but this day it just kept coming for me. It took only looking at the ingredients on the bottle to find out why! (Yes, I took it with me, I love it that much!) CATNIP! Ha ha! This is the best smelling repellent I've ever used!

AMAZING!

I have tried to make my own mosquito repellent in the past with little success. I was very skeptical about this one, but Selah is an honest company that I know tests their products, so I gave it a try. The first time I tried it out was at the deer lease. The horse flies were swarming terribly. I put the repellent on myself and my 18 month old daughter. They didn't touch us! Everyone else was getting eaten alive with their chemical filled repellents while we lounged in comfort! Good job guys! This is an AWESOME product! 100% Natural. Works great. Smells heavenly! XOXO
