Detailed information of Citronella Essential Oil
Citronella This is a tall, aromatic, perennial grass, which has derived from the wild - growing "managrass" found in Sri Lanka. This grass is a coarse, clump-forming tropical grass that can grow 5-6 ft (1. 5-1. 8 m) tall. The stems are cane like and the leaves are grayish green, flat, about 3 ft (0. 9 m) long and 1 in (2. 5 cm) or so wide. It does not spread by runners, as some grasses do, but the clump increases in size as the plant matures. The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh, partly-dried, or dried grass.
This oil has been used for its aromatic and medicinal value in many cultures. It has been used for fever, intestinal parasites, digestive and menstrual problems, excessive perspiration, oily skin, cold, flu, minor infections, fatigue, headaches, migraine, neuralgia, as a stimulant and insect repellent. Mixed with cedarwood oil in Virginia, it was a popular remedy against mosquito attacks before the advent of DDT and modern insecticides.
Reported Properties of Citronella Oil include: Antiseptic, antispasmodic, bactericidal, deodorant, diaphoretic, diuretic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, fungicidal, insecticide, stomachic, tonic, vermufuge.
Also Known As - Citronella Oil Ceylon, Cymbopogon Nardus Rendle Oil, Andropogon Nardus, Srilanka Citronella, Lenabuta Citronella, Citronella Oil Java, Cymbopogon Winterianus Jowitt Oil, Nardus, Nard Grass, Mana Grass.
This product blends well with geranium, lemon, bergamot, orange, cedarwood, and pine. The Java oil is colorless to pale yellow with a fresh woody-sweet fragrance; it is considered of superior quality in perfumery work.
