No plant family is more diverse. After all, the orchid family is the largest plant family, occupying almost all possible environments. From the thimble-sized Mystacidium caffrum to the 20-foot-tall Renanthera storei, orchids exhibit amazingly different shapes, forms and growth habits.
Treating Insect Bites with Aromatherapy. For mosquito or other insect bites that donât demand much attention, a simple dab of essential oil of lavender or tea tree provides relief from itching. Chamomile and lavender essential oils reduce swelling and inflammation, and diminish itching or other allergic response.
There are also some studies on Medline, even though anecdotal, that tea Tree Oil has been as effective as salicyclic acid. To use Tea Tree oil on plantar warts or verrucae, apply the oil with a cotton tip swab several or three times a day. I've read some stories of this working in 4 weeks or less. It also should be noted that Tea Tree Oil may provide a little pain relief at the same time, although this is not proven.
