From the leaf of a tall grass native to Asia, Citronella essential oil has a crisp, fresh aroma. It is an ideal companion for camping, hiking, and anywhere else you might go to experience the beauties of nature. Applied topically, it can be soothing to the skin and scalp and, due to its levels of citronellal, it may also help to promote clean skin.
Makes an ideal companion when camping, hiking or doing anything outdoors.

How Does It Work?
Citronella is an easy crop to grow and reaches maturity, about 2 metres high, very quickly. Though it can be planted anytime during the year, it is best to plant it with the onset of monsoon rains.
The citronella plant is first harvested after 6 months, then every 3 months after that – with up to 5 harvests a year depending on soil fertility. The essential oil comes from the leaf, which can be fresh or partially dried before steam distillation.
