100% Pure Organic Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) Oil
- In a diffuser: To harness the relaxing and uplifting power of Citronella Oil’s scent, add 3-4 drops of the oil to your essential oil diffuser. Commercial diffusers come with specific instructions, so figuring out how to use one shouldn’t be a difficult task. Apart from relieving feelings of stress and anxiety, diffusing Citronella Oil in your home/office/studio can also help you keep insects at bay.
- In an air freshener/body spray: This is another way of using Citronella Oil’s ability to deter mosquitoes and other insects. According to the USA's National Association for Holistic Aromatherapy (NAHA), to make an effective Citronella Oil air freshener/body spray, you’ll need to add 10-15 drops of the oil per 30 ml of water. Pour the blend into a glass spray bottle and shake it well before spraying. Please keep in mind that this duo can assist in protection against bugs for a short amount of time, which means you’ll need to reapply it often.
- P.S. Since essential oils don’t dissolve in water, you might want to add solubol or other dispersing agent to the blend.
- In massage oils: Thanks to its antimicrobial and antiseptic properties, Citronella Oil can soothe wounds and speed up their healing. To reap these benefits, consider diluting 1-3 drops of Citronella Oil in 1 teaspoon of Coconut Carrier Oil. Gently rub this blend onto a cut, sore, or abrasion. This method of application is great for killing germs and fungi on the skin as well. To address fatigue and nervous exhaustion, use 2 tablespoons of Jojoba or Olive Carrier Oil to “weaken” 2-4 drops of Citronella Oil and then massage the blend into your skin until it’s completely absorbed.
- As an addition to facial cleansers and shampoos: Citronella Oil can easily become one of your skin’s best friends. All you’ll need to do to make this happen is add 2-3 drops of the oil to a regular shampoo. This mix can help eliminate dandruff, fungi, and excess oil. To enrich your regular facial cleanser or body wash, add 1-2 drops of Citronella Oil to it. This can help prevent acne and banish blemishes.
