Jack Rabbit and the River Fairy (A Fable) "Every one hop into the car, we are going to the woods for a picnic," called Bunnie Rabbit to her large brood of children. Bunnie counted each of her children, twelve in all, as they juggled, jostled and squeezed into their places in the car. When all were secured in their seats, their father, Brother Realy Rabbit jumped in and drove his family to their favorite picnic spot near the Crooked River in the Xylon forest. Mosquitoes, fleas, flies, no-see-ums, spiders, ticks and ants are some of the biting bugs that threaten to disrupt our summer fun. The repellent effects of aromatic plants have been used for thousands of years, most often by hanging bunches of the bruised plants in the house. It is the aromatic essential oils in these plants that can repel insects by sticking to their antennae and throwing off their sense of direction. Poleo or Brook Mint is only one of many herbs that contain aromatic oils that have a repellant effect on mosquitoes and other biting bugs. Some others include Catnip, Peppermint, Pennyroyal, Lavender, Geranium, Citronella, Sage, Thyme and Rosemary. Sometimes it is the bugs that we can't see that pose the most threat to our wellbeing. Our environment is full of unseen organisms like bacteria, parasites and fungal spores that are just waiting for an opportunity to take up residence in and on our bodies where they are not welcomed. They can be transmitted through the air, in water, on our skin, and on other surfaces like table tops or door handles and enter our bodies through wounds or other inflammations that break down our natural barriers to these pathogens. Catnip Oil Spray is a pleasing blend of catnip, eucalyptus and geranium oils. The essential oil in Catnip, nepetalactone, has been found to be highly effective in repelling mosquitoes, cockroaches and termites. Thief Oil is a pleasant, spicy blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus and Rosemary oils which can be used in an aerosol spray to purify the air and to clean household surfaces, keeping both visible and invisible bugs in check. Pennyroyal Oil, the oil derived from Pennyroyal herb (Mentha pulegum), also called Mosquito Plant, is a rich source of the volatile oil pulegone. Tea Tree Oil was used historically by the aborigines of Australia, who introduced Captain Cook to the healing power of the trees. They showed him how they used the leaves for a myriad of medicinal applications. Three T's is a potent blend of Tea Tree, Thyme and Thuja essential oils, often used on finger and toenails. Wild Oregano Oil has many beneficial properties due to the presence of carvacrol. Wormwood Compound includes all of the herbs recommended by Dr. Hulda Clark with additional benefits of Male Fern and Quassia. Black Walnut Hull Fresh Extract is useful for promoting cleansing of the intestine and is especially helpful when the intestinal biota is out of balance. Chaparro Compound is a combination of herbs that includes Chaparro amargosa (Crucifixion Thorn) which is used to support intestinal health when the biota are out of balance due to travel or exposure to questionable food or water.
