Citronella oil is more versatile than many people realise, historically known for its insect-repellent qualities.
Pure citronella oil is most famous as a mosquito repellent and can be incredibly effective at keeping pests away from your home.
The oil’s lesser-known properties are its strong cleaning abilities, which can be used in home cleaning sprays and natural shampoos to protect from dandruff.
Citronella oil is also an anti-inflammatory that can soothe sore muscles and relieve cramps as well as reduce anxiety and stress.
