Citronella Essential Oil
This particular variety of Citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus) is the most delicious sweet Citronella we have ever smelt. Unlike regular Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) which has a powerful, lemony scent. This one is much milder but still known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, it's high levels of Geraniol helps soothe irritated skin, reduce inflammation, and fight infections. It also has a refreshing, citrusy aroma that uplifts the mood and reduces stress.
Citronella oil has a deserved reputation for being efficient in repelling mosquitoes for up to two hours. A great essential oil for use around the home especially for cleaning and disinfecting. Traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat rheumatic pain.
