Description: When some of us think of the Citronella, we often think of insect repellent. After all, it has been long used to repel mosquitoes and other flying insects for ages. Citronella does a lot more than repel insects. 

Citronella actually is a powerful aid for minor infections, insect bites, and excessive perspiration. Citronella has many more uses in homeopathy/natural medicine. It is also heavily used as an ingredient in many fragrances. 

Citronella’s aroma is fresh and quite beautiful in scent. It makes wonderful diffuser blends. It also is a great addition in citrus oil blends used in cleaning.
