I know this post may seem  of subject if you live up North (It is Winter time)  but for us who live in a tropical environment, we get bitten by mosquitoes 365 days a year. Days ago my daughter was bitten 3 times in the elbow by mosquitoes and it brought me memories of when I use to feel the same way after being bitten by them as a kid.

My daughter was a bit stressed out because the bites where making her very uncomfortable.

I quickly grabbed my iPad and searched the Internet for Natural Mosquito remedies which we could use. Being a Vegan/Vegetarian family I really did not want to use any chemicals or pharmaceuticals.

I was able to find some for those painful mosquito bites and here are a few that made sense. I would like to share some of the ones I found with you:

Household Items

  • Vinegar
  • Dry Bar of Soap
  • Baking Soda & Water
  • Toothpaste
  • Salt to make (Salt Paste)

Plants, Fruits and Vegetables

  • Aloe
  • Onion
  • Raw Honey
  • Lime and/or Lemons
  • Garlic

I wonder if some of these could also be used as mosquito repellent but I guess that will be the subject for another post.

Do you use any other natural remedies for mosquito bites?

    As far as i was taught, eating garlic raw keeps them away. (one exudes chemicals they dont like) This came from Mom, back in Puerto Rico. I can’t tell you if it works or not, because i would just eat garlic and went on with life. but now, writing, i recall being at Piñones and other swampy areas MANY times, and not being bitten…

      I might attempt it again but by the time we exude the chemical the mosquitoes are gone. 🙂
