What are the medicinal values ​​of mosquito repellent grass

As the name suggests, mosquito repellent grass is used to repel mosquitoes. We often use mosquito coils, toilet water, insecticides, etc. to repel mosquitoes. Frequent use will make you feel uncomfortable and the smell is also unpleasant. If there is a pregnant woman or a new baby in the family, it is not advisable to use these to repel mosquitoes, as the chemical substances will affect the child's development. At this time, you can use mosquito repellent grass to repel mosquitoes. Mosquito repellent grass has the scent of lemon, and mosquitoes are afraid of this smell. Generally, the higher the concentration of the scent, the better the mosquito repellent effect. It is best to place mosquito repellent grass in a ventilated place to prevent the special smell from causing side effects.

The ability of mosquito repellent plants to repel mosquitoes is related to the pungent smell they emit. Plants such as mint, perilla, lavender, impatiens, cinnamon, etc. all have a special fragrant aroma that will make mosquitoes dizzy, thus repelling them. After being bitten by mosquitoes or insects, applying mint leaves boiled in water directly can also have an anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect.

However, since these plants rely on the special smell they emit to repel mosquitoes, the special smell can produce side effects and induce symptoms such as allergies, dizziness, and nausea. Therefore, when growing mosquito-repellent plants, you should pay attention to the density and keep the indoor ventilation. Pregnant women, infants and other groups are best to use physical mosquito repellents and try not to use mosquito-repellent plants to repel mosquitoes.

Other plants that also have mosquito repellent effects include mint, tuberose, peppermint, etc., which use smell to repel mosquitoes. However, some plants are fragrant or smelly, and should not be placed in closed places. It is best to place them at the door or windowsill to prevent mosquitoes from entering the bedroom. When the temperature drops and there are no mosquitoes, you can dry the branches and leaves of the mosquito repellent grass, crush them and store them. In the summer of the following year, you can take them out and light them to repel mosquitoes. The effect is very good.
