Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
This summer I experienced a wave of flea attacks. When I woke in the morning, the insides of my arms were bitten up, as many as 18 bites at a time. Oddly, the bites occurred exclusively on that meridian (as it extends to my neck). My flea traps were deployed and fleas were being trapped. But, still they came at me.
I mixed one drop of Peppermint oil and one drop of the Thieves oil blend into one ounce of sesame oil. This I applied to my affected areas, rubbing gently and thoroughly.
The biting stopped immediately and did not reoccur on any other location. For good measure, I misted my bedding and carpets with Peppermint oil. I used one drop of oil to four ounces of water.
