Description
Cymbopogon nardus / Cymbopogon winterianus
Citronella Essential Oil is steam distilled from the fresh or dried grass of the citronella plant. It possesses a fresh, lemony, herbaceous aroma with sweet, grassy undertones. Just a drop or two of Citronella Essential Oil can add bright, cleansing properties to any blend, and it is best known as one of nature’s most effective insect repellents.
Citronella Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help create an insect-repelling barrier, purify the air, and ease mental fatigue. It is valued for its antiseptic and deodorizing properties and is often used in diluted topical applications as a natural insect repellent for outdoor activities. Citronella should be used with caution on sensitive skin and tested before widespread use.
Emotionally, Citronella Essential Oil is uplifting and clarifying, helping to ease mental fog, combat negativity, refresh the mind, and promote feelings of clarity and renewed energy in stagnant or heavy environments.
