Citronella oil's most useful quality is that of it being an insect repellent. It is best used in a spray, a diffuser, as a soap or on a cotton ball amongst linen. It is also useful in ridding cats and dogs of fleas.

Furthermore, citronella oil helps to clear the mind and has a general toning and tonic effect on the body. It is helpful with colds, flu and minor infections and also has deodorizing qualities.

Citronella oil has a slightly sweet, lemony smell.

Citronella blends well with bergamot, geranium, lemon, orange, lavender and pine.
