Citronella: This popular choice is well-known for its mosquito-repelling properties.

Lavender: Not only a beautiful flowering plant, lavender possesses natural mosquito-repelling properties.

Lemon Balm: This lemon-scented herb is another effective mosquito repellent. Lemon balm leaves contain citronellal, a compound similar to citronella, that mosquitoes dislike.

Rosemary: Rosemary is a versatile herb with a strong aroma that repels mosquitoes.

Marigold: These vibrant flowering plants not only add a splash of color to your garden but also deter mosquitoes.

Tulsi (Holy Basil): This sacred plant in India is not only revered for its religious significance but also known for its mosquito-repelling properties.

Using these plants in combination with other mosquito control methods like mosquito nets and insect repellents can offer a more comprehensive defense, especially during peak monsoon times.

Contains curcumin, an anti-inflammatory compound that can help reduce liver fat and improve liver function.
