Ad: Catnip Essential Oil (Nepeta cataria)

[Guest guest]

Hi y'all,

 

I'm gonna tell y'all about a rather unique essential oil .. Catnip.

 

Concentrated it is .. not for kittys. For that matter, no EO is for

kittys .. their metabolism is different from ours.

 

So .. why do we need Catnip EO? Skeeter Repellent! Check it out!

http://www.av-at.com/catnip.html

 

Which Catnip EO to repell Skeeters? There's two types of Catnip EO ..

American and Canadian. The American Catnip has between 40%-50%

Nepetalactone .. the active ingredient. Canadian Catnip has more ..

between 80%-90%.

 

Which is better? This boils down to Bang for the Buck .. or Rubble

for the Ruble. The Canadian is a bit more costly than the American

but you can use half as much. With the American, we need a 9%-10%

dilution for effectiveness .. but the Canadian can be used at 5% and

its very effective.

 

Accordingly, I offer only the Canadian Catnip. People want the

Canadian as it takes less to do the job so its more cost efficient.

 

How do we use it? Well .. some folks put it on their skin. To date,

we have no reports of problems. Like many EO, scientific dermal

testing has not been conducted on Catnip .. but empirical evidence to

date shows not one problem. But there is no reason to put it on the skin.

 

Keep in mind that there are two theories as to why a mosquito

repellent works. One is that skeeters don't like the odor .. the

other is that it merely masks our odor so they don't hone in on us.

Many people choose to wear it on their clothing rather than their

skin. And many choose to use Fractionated Coconut as a carrier as it

will not stain. Any carrier will work .. but it should be diluted ..

no need to use more when a tad will do the job.

 

Some folks don't like the odor of Catnip .. me included .. but some

do. Those who don't can mix a bit of Lemon Tea Tree with it and mask

the odor and the Lemon Tea Tree has some repellent properties of its own.

 

This Catnip oil has been worn by one young fellow .. Greg Linsson ..

on a safari to the Amazon. His sister gave a testimonal for it on one

of the AT lists. Greg was NOT bothered by skeeters.

 

I have Catnip on my Retail and Wholesale links.

 

Y'all keep smiling. :-) Butch http://www.AV-AT.com

HI Butch-

I appreciate all of the comments and information you provide ( you are a

veritable wealth of information for the budding mind). I wholeheartedly agree

with your comments about Catnip EO. I am just waiting for payday to get some

more from you. I use it in my mosquito repellant and I was shocked at the

repellant factor. I threw away all of my store bought sprays and I only use my

own blend. I just want to say that Butch's EO's are by far the best I have ever

purchased and his prices are excellent. Yeah, I know, just another testimonial

to add to the thousands out there! Keep up the excellent work! Cindy

CINDY RN: ( & anyone else that might have a recipe) Would you mind

posting your mosquito repellant recipe or send it to my email address:

ardis_b . I may have missed it if it was in a message. I

have horses and in MN the " biters " season is coming on in full force.

I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Ardis
