Citronella Oil

The essential oil of citronella is obtained by the steam distillation of the grass of Cymbopogon nardus. Citronella oil has a pale yellow to thick yellow colour, with a crisp, lemony aroma.

Citronella Essential Oil is no doubt popularly used as an insecticide and is used to kill germs in a patients’ room. It reduces perspiration from the body and works as a good deodorant.
So many lotions and potions possess it because of its effective perfumed qualities and it also helps to reduce oil of the skin. If you are suffering with high fever, then it lessens the fever because of its medicinal qualities. It helps to keep our mind clear and fresh. It is an integral component of soaps and deodorants. It works best on harsh skin and softens them. It is also used in creams and lotions.

It can be blended with so many other chemicals and materials to produce divergent fragrances. Its biggest quality is that it vaporizes and burns quickly which is why it’s an indispensable part in mosquito repellents.

It should always be used in a diluted form along with some carrier oil like olive oil on the skin as it may cause irritation if used alone.
