Summer joys of sunbathing, water play, and hiking in the woods often get dismantled by bug season. Hoards of mosquitos, bees, and biting flies can quickly chase even the most resilient outdoorsy person inside to sadly stare out at the window of the most gorgeous, bug infested days of summer.
Many will put on long sleeves, hats, and pants to avoid the insects, others will apply chemical laden DEET or other sprays to discourage them. I have to say, in Northern Minnesota, the mosquitos here drink DEET for breakfast. They are vicious little things and some of their welts they leave can be dime sized.
So, the question becomes: what can we do after the bite? Mosquito bites especially can be itchy for days, it can lead children and adults both scratching to the point of bleeding.
This is where After Bite anti-itch roller bottles come in handy. With just a few ingredients and materials you have an easy applicator with natural ingredients that quickly reduce the itch and pain from bites and stings. They are a compact size perfect for first aide kits and purses too!
What you need:
Optional: dried Calendula (not nessesary but Calendula is extra healing and soothing for skin issues.)
Simply pour the castor oil into the roller bottles, snap them shut, and roll on any bug bite or insect sting to take the ow away.
If you want the extra healing of Calendula you will want to infuse the dried Calendula in castor oil for several days-a week, shaking gently daily. I suggest using a glass container such as a mason jar for this. Strain out the solids using a fine mesh strainer and put the infused oil into the roller bottles.
The castor oil is very thick so you may need to tip the funnel to get it to flow easier.
These roller bottles can also be used for hair growth (rolled on head or on eyelids to grow lashes), to ease muscle pains, help you sleep (applied on feet), and many other uses. I suggest making different roller bottles labeled for different uses.

Enjoy your summer!
God bless
