For hundreds of years, the Aborigines of Australia have used Lemon eucalyptus leaves for their antiseptic and healing actions. 

In the mid-1800s, groves of Lemon eucalyptus trees were planted in swampy areas of North Africa to halt the spread of malaria. 

The dried leaves were also used traditionally for perfuming linen cupboards plus repelling cockroaches and silverfish at the same time! 

Natural insect repellent recipe

Toilet fizzy bombs

• Add 1 cup baking soda + ½ cup citric acid into a mixing bowl
• Add 20 drops of Lemon eucalyptus EO + 20 drops of another of your favourite EO into the mix
• Break up the clumps with mixing
• Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, dripping it drop by drop into the mixture while stirring continuously. You do not want to wet it too quickly or the fizzing will start foaming. 
• You might not need to use up the vinegar – add enough until it feels slightly damp. It should clump together and not break apart when you squeeze it into a ball.
• Scoop the mixture into an ice cube tray or any mould tray and leave it to dry completely for 2 – 3 days
• Store in an airtight container
