CITRONELLA ESSENTIAL OIL

 

We might have heard of this name- Citronella here and there for the oil is so popular. But ever wondered what makes it so loved by people all around the globe? We may have the answer. People who have used Citronella once will tell you that they can’t live without these fabulous magical droplets which save them, refresh them, and keep them all healthy all the time.

Citronella Oil is sometimes being confused with that of Lemongrass Oil because of their alike, nature, process, smell, and even belonging to the same family, i.e. the Cymbopogon family. Well, they are cousins and the easiest way to distinguish between this herb is that lemongrass has pseudostems of off-white colour while that of citronella is reddish. But the scent and uses of both differ and each has its own quality. Steam distillation of Cymbopogon winterianus herb yields Citronella Essential Oil.

We would love to give you an insight on this very common yet very important essential oil so you can also infuse this in your lifestyle and make it a little more natural, beautiful, and healthy.
