Description

Absolute Essential Citronella (Organic) is used extensively as an effective natural repellent. Citronella has a variety of properties that offer useful applications on your body, in your garden, and in your home. 

Its refreshing, lemon-sweet fragrance and stimulating qualities are cleansing and tonifying for a range of uses. 

A perennial aromatic plant originating in western Malesia. The grass grows to about 2 metres in height and has magenta-coloured base stems. It has been widely used in culinary applications, as a scent in soaps and as a natural insect repellent. 

Fragrance notes:

A bright and crisp aroma with an unmistakable lemon quality.

Blends well with:

Geranium, all Eucalyptus oils, Lemongrass.
Ingredients

Cymbopogon wintrianus (grass, distilled, certified organic, Nepal)

Naturally occurring constituents: Geraniol, Citral, Citronellal, Citronellol
Directions

For topical use: Blend with a carrier oil before applying to the skin, 5 drops per 10ml of carrier oil (i.e. almond, apricot, jojoba.)

For diffuser or vaporiser: Add 4-8 drops of essential oil as per instructions of device.

Insect Repellent: Diffuse a few drops in a diffuser or apply in carrier oil to the skin to repel annoying insects.

Plant Pests: Citronella can be added to a little warm water, shaken vigorously and sprayed on your lettuce to repel pests, repeat 3 days in a row. 

Cat Repellent: Spray 20 drops of citronella diluted in 200 ml of warm water (with a small squirt of dishwashing liquid) where cats scratch or urinate. They dislike the scent and will avoid these areas. 

Flea Repellent: Add 20 drops of citronella and 20 drops of Eucalyptus to 60ml vodka and 40ml water and spray on carpet and furniture. Repeat as required.
