Banana peels stand out due to their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, making them valuable in cosmetics, wellness, and gardening. Surprisingly, they are effective in soothing the burning sensation caused by specific insect bites.
A simple application and gentle pressure on the affected area have a naturally calming effect, expediting the healing process. High in essential minerals, banana peels are frequently integrated into face and hair masks, offering a natural remedy for various needs.
Banana peels: the refined approach As mentioned earlier, this organic waste is indeed a versatile package. In spring and summer, the lotion derived from banana peels can even serve as a bug and mosquito repellent.
The homemade approach is both intriguing and easy to set up. You’ll need one banana peel, two liters of water, 200 milliliters of wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar), 200 grams of sugar, and 400 milliliters of water.
Carefully cut the plastic bottle in half using a cutter or scissors, exercising caution, especially if children are involved. In a bowl, combine vinegar and water, stir in the sugar until well blended, and then fill half of the plastic bottle with the liquid. Finally, add the banana peel. The mixture’s sugar content attracts flies and mosquitoes, while the aroma deters them. This results in a natural bug repellent, keeping unwanted visitors out of your home and insects at bay. Repeat the process every two days by placing the jar in different areas of the house.
