9. Lavendar Oil For Bug Bites
Talk about a do-it-all. This aromatic evergreen shrub of the mint family can battle acne, relieve pain, relieve nervous tension, relieve insomnia, relieve restlessness, relieve toothaches, and relieve migraine headaches. Its secret? It seems to have a sedating effect that relaxes certain muscles and reduces pain. That’s not all it does. In 2011, a study reported that oil from this purple plant was effective in treating fungus. The researchers found that the oil was lethal to a wide range of fungal strains. As aromatherapy, lavendar is known for its calming effect. Oh, it also repels mosquitoes. Just rub it on your skin before venturing outside. Many types of insects are not as into the fragarance as we humans are. If you apply it after you get bitten, the oil has anti-inflammatory properties as well, and it can reduce the irritation of the bite. (It’s not tasty, but it sure does smell nice.)
10. Papaya For Pimples
Papaya is a tropical fruit that is loaded with vitamins. It’s got Vitamin A which is good for our eyes, immune system and cell growth. It’s got vitamin C which boosts our immunity, protects our DNA from free radicals and helps to heal wounds. It’s got vitamin K which helps our blood to clot when there’s a wound. And it’s got vitamin E which helps our immune system and is good for our eyes and skin. Let’s focus on the skin. You can use papaya’s powers in several ways to help your skin. When consumed, its high water content helps keep the skin soft and smooth. When blended into a paste, you can use it as a hydrating face mask. You can even use the juice on a cotton ball to fight acne, pimples and blemishes. Eating ripe, raw papaya regularly can also clear your skin of blemishes.
