Insect Repellent

With a strong reputation for repelling biting insects, Citronella essential oil contains volatile oils that irritate mosquitoes in particular. Whilst there is much controversy about the effectiveness of Citronella and its protection from bites, there is certainly research to back it up. In 2011, an analysis of 11 studies on the capabilities of Citronella oil to repel mosquitoes was published in the “Journal of Tropical Medicine & International Health”. Researchers found that when combined with vanillin, the oil did indeed provide protection for up to three hours. Additionally, research was published in “The Israel Medical Association Journal” which showed how Citronella can be effective in helping to prevent head lice too.

If you are using this oil as an insect repellent, it is vital that it is diluted at around a 2% dilution to avoid skin irritation. If Citronella is being used alone to repel insects, research indicates that it needs to be reapplied every 30 minutes to 1 hour to remain bite free. Some researchers recommend mixing Citronella with other bug battling essential oils such as lemon eucalyptus, neem and lemongrass.

Due to its anti-fungal and antiseptic qualities, Citronella can be used to help to heal bites too.

Antibacterial/Antiseptic

Citronella oil is rich in the compound methyl isoeugenol which imparts powerful antibacterial and antiseptic qualities to this essential oil. In the correct dilution it can be used to disinfect and speed up wound healing and as long as the oil is “food grade”, it can be taken internally to provide relief from infections of the bladder, urinary tract, colon, gastro-intestinal tract and the kidneys. It can also be used in this way to expel parasites and worms from the intestines due to its high content of geraniol – a phytochemical with strong anti-helminthic activity, able to expel internal parasites without causing any damage to the host.

With an invigorating, fresh lemony scent, Citronella is also an excellent addition to natural house cleaning products. It will disinfect kitchen surfaces, bathrooms, floors, and all whilst leaving a lovely chemical free aroma in the room – this makes it a perfect air freshener too, whilst keeping the home free of airborne pathogens.

Anxiety/Stress

Citronella has a naturally uplifting and happy smell, with research showing that it can be both uplifting and relaxing. It appears to work on both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, providing natural stress relief.

The essential oil can also be used (well diluted), for dogs – not only to keep fleas and ticks at bay, it can help to reduce separation anxiety and const

With a rich history in Asia where it has been used for over 2,000 years in religious ceremonies and to make perfumes, Citronella oil is an essential ingredient in a host of products. Acquiring its name from the French word meaning “lemon balm,” Citronella is made from the distillation of the Cymbopogon genus grass plant, a close cousin to Lemongrass. It emits a floral, citrus-like aroma that has an uplifting quality. Widely used in insect-repelling candles, Citronella can also be used in soaps, lotions, sprays, and incense. It also blends quite well with other essential oils like Lemon, Bergamot, Cedarwood, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lavender, Pine and many more.

In cosmetic and topical products, Citronella can deodorize foul body odors, help to slow the look of aging, help improve your skin’s health and its absorption of moisture – making it a great additive to any deodorant or body spray. Citronella can also help protect the hair from sun damage, boost volume, combat dandruff, and remove tangles. Create your own deodorant line using citronella in a base of organic witch hazel, or a deodorant paste made of organic shea butter, organic beeswax, titanium dioxide, sodium bicarbonate, Oregon hazelnut oil, and a blend of essential oils such as citronella, cedarwood and lime.

Along with its insect repellent uses, Citronella has other aromatherapy applications. It can prevent the spread of airborne bacteria, relax the body and mind to help curb sadness, anxiety, and stress, and it’s valued for its cleansing, disinfecting, and freshening properties. Keep in mind that citronella candles made with synthetic citronella fragrance will not be effective in keeping away insects. Only pure citronella essential oil will have all the benefits of citronella. We do offer a wide variety of natural candle waxes for your candle making needs!

Citronella is also said to have medicinal properties. It can help boost the healing process of wounds, stimulate and improve circulation, help facilitate the healing of eczema and dermatitis, help reduce swelling, help promote weight loss, and help to boost metabolism and digestion. It is also ideal for use on bug bites, warts, age spots, and fungal infections. Try creating a salve using organic castor oil, organic beeswax, organic coconut oil, organic tamanu oil, CBD, and a blend of citronella, lavender, pine and lemongrass essential oils.

Do not apply directly to skin. Most essential oils are not designed to be applied directly, rather they are designed to be mixed with a carrier oil such as our organic sunflower or organic jojoba oils. Always perform a small patch test when applying to skin.
