Citronella Essential Oil is a lovely light, fresh and uplifting oil - perfect for use all year round but particularly useful to burn during the summer months as an insect repellent. It can be mixed with lavender in a base of sweet almond oil or mixed in a spray bottle to repel pesky mosquitoes on holiday. It can also be used on horses (diluted in a base) as an insect repellent.
When vaporised, its zesty scent can help give you that added lift when you're feeling tired and fatigued.
