* Insect Repellent: One of the popular and traditional uses of amyris essential oil is as an insect repellent. Mosquitoes, gnats and biting flies find the aroma extremely unpleasant, so when this oil is included in candles, potpourri, diffusers or homemade insect repellents, it can keep you safe from annoying bites, as well as the potential diseases that those mosquitoes can carry.
* Room Cleanser: Antibacterial and antiseptic qualities of this essential oil make it a popular addition to cleaning solutions for surfaces in your home. Add a few drops to a dust rag and improve not only the long-term protection against pathogens and germs, but also improve the aroma of your home. General diffusion of this oil is also a great way to neutralize airborne pathogens and provide a shield against foul odors.
