Citronella Essential Oil has the Latin name Cymbopogon Nardus and is extracted through steam distillation from the dried grass of Cymbopogon species of plants, especially Cymbopogon nardus found in Java. This essential oil is well-known as a natural insect repellent and bio-pesticide with a non-toxic mode of action since it has been registered for this use in the USA since 1948. Indonesia and China together produce approximately 40% of the world's citronella essential oil.

Citronella Essential Oil has several benefits for skin, including its ability to repel insects, soothe pain due to rheumatism and arthritis, and resist flu, colds, and minor infections. It is also useful for excessive perspiration, oily skin and hair, and works as a deodorant. This oil can help heal colitis, intestinal infections, and get rid of intestinal parasites.

This essential oil can ease menstrual cramps and pain and speed up the heartbeat. When used in a vaporizer, it can dispel fatigue, headaches, and neuralgia and create a mood of cheer and optimism.

It is important to note that citronella essential oil should be avoided during pregnancy and in children under 3, and it should not be consumed internally.

Ancient cultures in India, Egypt, and elsewhere used the Cymbopogon species of grasses as natural insect repellents, especially against mosquitoes. Settlements near rivers and water bodies at that time were prone to an abundance of insects and mosquitoes, which brought diseases and killed people. Thus, the use of this grass as a natural insect repellent was crucial for human survival.

In summary, Citronella Essential Oil is a natural and effective insect repellent that offers several skincare benefits. It has healing properties for pain, infections, and digestive issues. It can also ease menstrual cramps and pain and improve moods when used in a vaporizer. It is a great essential oil to have on hand for outdoor activities and natural pest control.
