Citronella Essential Oil 10ml
Botanical name Cymbopogon winterianus jowitt
Origin: Indonesia.
Guards against insects, inflammation & anxiety.
Citronella is best known as an outdoor essential oil diffused to keep insects away (or applied topically as an alternative to chemical insect repellants) and it is very effective for that use. We recommend blending citronella with lemongrass, lavender & rosemary in an insect repelling blend and applying in a 50/50 blend with a light and easily absorbed oil (Jojoba oil is great for this).
Citronella does also have many other useful properties as follows:
- Anti-inflammatory – used in skincare for this reason
- Antibacterial for minor infections
- Antiperspirant in natural deodorants
- Conditioning treatment for hair (especially good for oily hair together with rosemary essential oil)
- Combating mild anxiety and high stress levels
- Guarding against cold & flu with eucalyptus & tea tree
Citronella comes from the same plant as lemongrass essential oil and is steam distilled from the leaves.
