 Citronella Essential Oil
(Cymbopogon nardus)
is distilled from wild Citronella grass found throughout the Philippines' 7,100 islands. When the Essential Oil has been captured via steam distillation from the leaves of this grass it releases a fresh, sweet and citrusy aroma that is a natural insect repellant and has antiseptic property. |
This grass from the tropics is a great antiseptic and anti-bacteria cleaning agent that is used to clean the house, bathrooms, kitchen and public places and at the same time a great natural insect repellant. The scent it diffuses scares mosquitoes, ants and other bugs and keeps them at bay. Because of this pets and their kennels are rid of fleas and other insects.
- The most polluted place is not the street but the house. So many abrasive and non-biodegradable cleaning agents are used that it makes the surrounding air full of toxic fumes. The use of this essential oil to clean the whole house, its floors, walls toilets and kitchen including the sink makes sense.
- As antiseptic and anti-bacteria this is effective to clean bathrooms, toilet bowls, kitchen sink and public places like hospitals, public toilets and baths, stadiums, clinics, and places where people accumulate.
As a natural insect repellant use a few drops in water and pour into sprayers or pour into oil lamps to scent rooms, outdoors and open spaces or rubbed on the skin with carrier oil. Alternately, dubbed a drop or two into cotton balls and leave in the corner of the house or strategic places where these insects may be hiding.
- Dub a drop or two of this essential oil behind the ears of pets to free them from fleas. This is also added to pet soaps, shampoos and kennels.
- Since it has biodegradable and antiseptic properties it makes an ecological substitute to chlorine as a swimming pool fungicide.
Use a few drops in your laundry water to keep moths from attacking the clothes while in storage.
Can also be placed in spray cans to scent the rooms, cars, office space and other areas to keep it free from mosquitoes.
Used to clean furniture, table and tops, and others.
