If you’re by the seaside, collect some of the pig face creeper that grows wild in the sand dunes — the sort that has big purple flowers during the spring.
Break open the fleshy leaves and squeeze the gel straight on to your insect bites to help relieve the pain, itch and swelling.
Cover the bites with the soothing layer of gel and then put cold wet towels on top.
This is also a first aid treatment for sunburn.
About chemicalfreehome
My interest in chemical free living began in 1983 when I was accidentally soused in pesticide from an aircraft. I became seriously ill with life-threatening weight loss and severe pain; however, over a period of years I regained my health and gradually evolved a new lifestyle regarding the use of chemicals in our home. When I realised that other people were concerned about the effects of chemicals on health I decided to turn a negative into a positive and so wrote my best-selling book 'Chemical Free Home' published by Black Inc in Melbourne. I have been amazed by the response of all age groups, as everyone is affected by chemicals to some degree, and everyone benefits by reducing their use. In this blog I hope to suggest ways in which you too can create a healthier home environment.
