Friends,
Finally, my company has just begun to import from CANADA a new "homeopathic insect repellant."
Reported to be helpful to preventing bites from mosquitoes, bed bugs, and ticks.

If and when you use it, please give me feedback. The formula looks excellent…

Homeopathic or not, personally I would LOVE to hear what experiences people have with it.

I am pleased to corroborate Dale's experience of Spilanthes tincture being an effective mosquito repellent. I don't think it repelled ticks from me tho, and didn't get to try it on bedbugs. (Oh boy.)

This is from Dana Ullman's website. What makes it homeopathic are the ingredients 4 of them in the C and X potencies.

I hope this helps

What is Mozi-Q?
Mozi-Q is a homeopathic formula in the form of a chewable pill.
Ingredients: What's in it?

Mozi-Q is a formula containing five homeopathic remedies (no lactose or alcohol in this product):
Wild Rosemary (Ledum palustre (leafy twigs)) 3 X
Dwarf Nettle (Urtica urens (whole plant)) 6 X
Grindelia (Grindelia (aerial part)) 6 C
Cedron (Cedron (seed)) 4 C
They are in low C and D potencies, thereby acting at the physical level for their common indication, to reduce the frequency and severity of insect bites.

If you are looking for a decent bug repellant
, and I do not know about bed bugs, try coconut oil and lavender oil. Rub on skin let it be absorbed, takes about 20 minutes and you are good to go. Works amazingly well. The critters do not like it.

I never get bitten by mosquitoes when in ketosis.
For bedbugs, use Geranium essential oil in a spray bottle.
Spray yourself, beds, movie seats, hotels, suitcases, wherever you go, they don't like it.

Whether this product keeps harmful insects away is irrelevant to this discussion.
I am very disturbed that someone as highly respected as Dana should call this mixture 'homeopathic'.
In case some colleagues have forgotten, the basis of homeopathy is symptom similarity. And if you listen to some of our more learned colleagues, they would assert that you would only know something WAS homeopathic only AFTER the patient has reacted to it.
And by definition, no mixture can ever be 'homeopathic' unless the mixture has been proved.
To call 'potentised' substances mixed together as homeopathic does a great dis-service to homeopathy and would open the person so advertising it vulnerable to attack under advertising, trade and product description laws we have in UK. I would have expected better from Dana.
How very disappointing.

I love geranium essential oils. I put it on cotton balls and put them in the vacuum cannister. It scents the whole house. Do you add the oils to alcohol to make a spray? Sounds delightful.

Maria, that sounds wonderful! I'll try it. How strong does the lavender oil need to be -- how much of it to use?

Guess I will experiment.
