As a concentrated form of antioxidants and phytochemicals taken from the plant’s stems and leaves, citronella oil has been used for centuries in China, Indonesia and Sri Lanka to help decrease rashes, inflammation — infections, pain and other health conditions.

Citronella oil comes from the Asian grass plant known as Cymbopogon nardus. It’s most commonly used as a natural fragrant oil, in insect repellents, as well as in beauty, household and perfume products.

According to dozens of clinical studies, pure citronella oil is an antiseptic, antimicrobial and antifungal treatment. The most popular use for citronella is as a constituent in homemade or commercially sold insect repellents, since it naturally repels mosquitos and other bugs. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers citronella to be a “biopesticide” that has a nontoxic mode of action against insects.

Because it fights infections, bacteria and fungi, historically it’s also been used to sanitize surfaces and treat bites or parasites.

How to use: Rub topically with a carrier oil on an area of pain and bites. Typically, two to three drops of citronella essential oil is the recommended therapeutic dose.

Note: Store away from heat or direct sunlight. Always dilute with carrier oil as concentrated essential oil will burn your skin if applied directly. Always perform a patch test for skin sensitivity.
