Both balm and garlic are two very common ingredients in Vietnamese households. Although each has many uses in daily life, few people think about combining them. Try combining balm oil with garlic and you will see unexpected benefits.
Surprising benefits of combining balm oil with garlic
To maximize the benefits of the combination of balm oil and garlic, first, take a few cloves of garlic and peel them. Cut the garlic into small pieces so that the aroma of the garlic can spread better.
Next, take a disposable mask, cut off one end. Separate the layers of the mask and put the garlic inside. Put a few drops of balm oil into the garlic. Tie the mask tightly and place it in places with many mosquitoes, such as windows, doors, under the bed. Mosquitoes dislike the smell of garlic and balm oil. When they smell this scent, they will not dare to come near. Making this mosquito repellent bag is simple and saves money for the family.
In addition, you can also combine ginger and balm oil to achieve similar results. Chop the ginger into small pieces and put them into the mask, then add a few drops of balm oil. Hang the ginger and balm oil bag in areas where mosquitoes often gather to drive away mosquitoes. Make sure your house is free of mosquitoes even in favorable conditions for their development. Moreover, your house will have a pleasant and refreshing scent.
