Citronella (known in English as lemongrass) is a perennial evergreen herb native to the tropical regions of South Asia.

It is particularly characterized by its lemon-like scent and is therefore also used in cooking, especially in typical Asian recipes.

In our latitudes, it is particularly appreciated for its mosquito-repelling properties, but citronella's potential does not stop there.

Properties of citronella

Citronella is a plant with antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties, but it also aids digestion and helps relieve abdominal bloating when present. It also improves urination and therefore somehow promotes the elimination of excess fluids and weight loss.

Also active on the nervous system, citronella is able to promote relaxation and optimism; therefore, diffusing the essential oil can be useful not only to keep mosquitoes away but also to improve mood and concentration.

This plant has antispasmodic properties and can therefore relax organs and tissues while also soothing pain. Given its antiseptic power, it is also a plant with deodorizing properties. We all, of course, know it for its mosquito-repelling power, undoubtedly the main use of this natural remedy.

Benefits of citronella

The benefits of citronella can be highlighted in many aspects of our health: it can be used against abdominal cramps and menstrual, muscular, or joint pain, as support against viruses and bacteria, to purify oily hair or skin in case of acne, but also as a real deodorant to defeat bad odors caused by bacterial proliferation. As for mood, citronella can help restore feelings of greater well-being even in cases of depression, insomnia, or poor concentration.

Use

Suitable for burning on a heat-resistant saucer with charcoal or on an incense burner with a sieve. The combustion process on an incense burner with a sieve is slower than with charcoal. The incense can easily be mixed with other varieties of incense.
