Here's a recipe from my " Nerys Purchon's handbook of Aromatherapy " . I've

made it and it works.

 

" Mix:

40 drops lavender

40 drops citronella

30 drops peppermint

1/4 cup cider vinegar or distilled witch hazel

1/4 cup paraffin oil

Mix all together in a small bottle and shake to blend. Leave for 4 days

before using so that the oils have time to synergise or combine well.

 

Treatment:

Rub on all exposed areas. Keep clear of eyes. Reapply every 2-3 hours.

This is probably the only time I would recommend using paraffin oil on the

skins, the reason being that it remains effective, holding the essential

oils on the skin for a longer time than grape seed oil which is absorbed

more quickly. "

 

Good luck
