Natural Essentials Bug Bite Sother

Bug Bite Soother Roll-On

Just when we thought we
were rid of them for this
year, those biting pests
were out in force!

Here's what happens when
we get "bit" by a mosquito:

The mosquito sticks its
proboscis into the skin to
withdraw blood (like a
syringe) from a small blood
vessel called a capillary.
Since less than 5% of the
skin is blood vessel, it
probes in 10-second
intervals until it finds a
capillary.
Saliva from the mosquito
contains an anti-coagulant
to stop blood from clotting
and interrupting its lunch!
The body's immune system
response to this
anti-coagulant chemical is
to release a
counter-chemical of its
own: histamine.
Histamine causes blood
vessels near the bite to
enlarge which causes a red
swollen area called a
wheal.
Histamine also irritates
nerve endings in the skin, so
this is why we itch. And the
more we scratch, the more
histamine is released, and
the more we itch = vicious
cycle!

Too much information?!
OK-this is what you can do
about it:
You can take an
over-the-counter
antihistamine (like
diphenhydramine =
Benadryl) which makes
people sleepy (it's used as
the sleeping medicine in
pills like Tylenol PM). Many
people are made
non-functional by this
medicine!
You can use something that
is natural, effective, and
works locally-at the site of
the bite!

Bug Bite Soother Roll-On!
Bug Bite Soother Roll-On
goes on blue because it
contains the essential oil
derived from the plant
called German
Chamomile.
When German Chamomile
is steam distilled, the
chemical chamazulene is
released, and chamazulene
(a powerful but safe and
natural anti-inflammatory) is
blue!
The blue color will fade
away as the soothing oil is
quickly absorbed by the skin
and begins to decrease the
itching by calming the
irritated nerve endings-to
stop the
scratch-itch-scratch cycle.
This beautiful oil also has
anti-histamine and
analgesic (pain killing)
properties, and also kills
germs-perfect for our uses
here!
