( / )

Citronella is most frequently used as an insect repellant, more specifically a mosquito repellant. It’s also believed that Citronella can help with the treatment of head lice. It combines nicely with Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Geranium, Lavender and Thyme.

Little Known Facts: Citronella can also be used to deodorize odors that exist in the air and to reduce excessive perspiration on human skin. Citronella is in the same plant family as Lemongrass. I can be found in bug repellant products such as lotions, sprays and candles.
