I show you how to make a cheap and easy essential oil of American Beauty Berry (callicarpa americana) and Wax Myrtle (myrica cerifera) which I use as my bug repellent in South Florida. Note: this is not as potent as an actual steamer for making essential oils. Its just cheap and easy, and gives you enough oil thats safe to put on your skin.
