Product Review
We just got back from a fabulous and relaxing holiday at Krabi, and while I cannot stop talking about how beautiful the place was, there is something very deadly about Krabi. And I’m talking about the deadly bites of mosquitoes you can get all over your hands and legs just by walking on the streets!
The first time we stepped out of our hotel to roam the streets, we were bitten by so many mosquitoes in a span of 15 minutes. I expected mosquitoes in a rather rural place like Krabi, but I didn’t expect so many! Silly me, even though I brought along insect repellents with me on the trip, I forgot to apply them on before we stepped out. It was so bad that we made a quick detour back to the hotel room to apply the insect repellent before going out again.
Thank goodness I didn’t bring just any ordinary insect repellent. These bottles of Australian Neem Leaf Extract sprays were introduced to me by 13Thirteen before my Krabi trip, and it was so apt that I brought them with me. Not only do they work perfectly as insect repellent, they work just as well when applied to insect bites and stings. Just 15 minutes on the streets of Krabi and we were already scratching everywhere. I quickly sprayed on the Australian Neem Leaf Extract on our mosquito bites and immediately got some relief. You know how kids cannot control themselves and would keep scratching all the bites and thus aggravating them? This extract stopped the itch effectively and made it a lot more bearable for them.
In case you were wondering – The Australian Neem Leaf Extract is a natural and aqueous extract made from organic, tea quality leaves grown in Queensland. Not only can it be used safely on all animals at any age, it is also safe for children. Everyday before we stepped out of our hotel room, I would spray it generously on the kids and myself, and thankfully, we didn’t get bitten any more! Terrible mosquito bites would certainly have ruined my holiday in some way or another.
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely dislike applying cream on my body, especially when they cause a sticky and oily feeling. The Australian Neem Leaf Extract is light and does not leave any sticky or oily feeling on my arms and legs. It is also odorless (Double yay!!) and does not sting broken skin. I am so glad to be introduced to such a natural product that I love to use and would feel at ease using them on my kids.
If you think that this is just good for soothing insect bites, then you are in for a surprise! There are so many other uses for the Australian Neem Leaf Extract such as resolving skin issues (acne, allergies, eczema, dermatitis, etc), fungus, cold sores, warts, burns, sunburns and even mouth ulcers or sore throats! In fact, if you mix 1 part of neem to 5 parts of water, you get an excellent gargle for sore throats. The next time I suffer a mouth ulcer, I’m going to follow the instructions and spray the extract directly on the ulcers. Finally, something that can help reduce the suffering from mouth ulcers!
