Hello Jamaica Herbalist,
What herbs can be used to prevent zik V
AnnMarie
RESPONSE: Dear AnnMarie,
Drinking Neem Leaves tea helps.
Moth bolls placed in select places also do wonders, but not everyone can tolerate the smell. So there are other plants such as mints, eucalyptus and jasmine that you could use around the yard as mosquitoes hate aroma from them.
Even Vicks rubbed lightly on the skin is helpful.
The other natural way is to raise predators of mosquitoes such as frogs or fish.
Some persons have had success with a fish tank as mosquito eggs laid are eaten.
