Citronella

Cybopogon nardus

Citrus

I can’t smell Citronella oil without thinking of hot, Mediterranean evenings! This oil is the number 1 mosquito deterrent! Combined with Cedarwood oil, it is reputed to be even more effective. It also has antiseptic, antibacterial properties. As a poultice, it is excellent at reducing  excessive perspiration. A few drops on the bed linen works wonders for keepings insects at bay during the night.

Citronella oil is contraindicated for use during pregnancy.

Blends well with Cedarwood oil.
