Litsea Cubeba makes an awesome disinfectant and insect repellent, by using in your house hold cleaning.Thought of adding a few drops of Tea Tree. Research has found that Litsea Cubeba blended with water into sprays has been used in horse stables to keep flies away from animals, although I`ve experience with customers Neem Oil is one of the most effective oils, although it`s not the best smelling oil.

You`ll need to look into PLOS One Journal. That the Vapor of Volatile Oil from Litsea Cubeba have suggested it may be able to kill and arrest the growth of lung cancer cells , ( non-small cell lung carcinoma NSCLC)? This I do not know of only the report of it in my research.
