(Uses)
Citronella
Ceylon is credited with having therapeutic properties as an antiseptic,
deodorant, insecticide, parasitic, tonic and as a stimulant. Nonetheless,

commercial repellents contain Citronella Ceylon, and it is often used in
combination with Cedarwood to produce a pleasant smelling natural insect
repellent. It will also be seen in soaps and candles, and it has common
applications in massage. This oil can also help with minor infection, but is
more commonly known for its ability to assist in combating colds and flu.
Citronella can also be used for excessive perspiration and for conditioning
oily skin and hair.
