MOH Shares Potential Plants That Repel Mosquitoes

Dengue will usually become worse due to inflammation in the bloodstream. Common symptoms include vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain. Blood vessels in the body of a dengue patient may leak and cause a decrease in blood volume.

This can cause the patient to experience shock (shock) and eventually cause death. There is no special drug that can be used to treat dengue fever, other than being hospitalized for rehydration treatment.

Therefore, precautions should be taken such as ensuring that there is no breeding ground for Aedes mosquitoes as well as additional steps by planting plants that work to ward off mosquitoes.

According to the IDengue site by MOH, there are 9 plants that have been found to be effective in removing mosquitoes and other insects as below.

1. Lantana Camara (Bunga Tahi Ayam)

2. Cymbopogan Nardus (Serai Wangi)

3. Ocimum Basilicum (Pokok Selasih)

4. Vetiveria Zizaniodies (Pokok Akar Wangi)

5. Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Pokok Lidah Buaya)

6.Fernandoa Adenophylla (Pokok Floramaster)

7. Eurycoma Longifolia (Pokok Tongkat Ali)

8. Azadirachta Indica ( Pokok Mambu)

9. Pelargonium Citrosum (Pokok Jeremin)
