Citronella is a popular natural insect repellent that has been used for centuries to naturally keep away bothersome bugs. Its name comes from the French word “citron” meaning lemon, due to its citrusy scent. Ancient Chinese and Egyptians believed that citronella was a powerful tool in keeping insects away and used it as part of their daily routines.

More recently, scientific studies have suggested that citronella helps repel insects due to its antifeedant properties and can provide up to four hours of protection against mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and other biting pests. With these newfound benefits of citronella becoming more widely known, its popularity continues to increase around the world as an effective natural repellent.

As Effective as DEET

Studies suggest that Citronella oil has repelling activities similar to DEET and is effective against biting insects, including bed bugs.

It is well known for its antiseptic and anti-fungal properties, which make it an effective treatment for skin conditions such as athlete’s foot. When topically applied to the affected area it can help to reduce irritation and inflammation of the skin. Additionally, citronella essential oil can be used as an insect repellent, helping to protect from mosquitoes, gnats, and other flying pests. This makes it particularly useful for outdoor activities such as camping or hiking in heavily wooded areas.

Citronella is also known for its calming effects on the body when diffused into the air or taken orally as a supplement. Its aroma is said to be relaxing and stress-relieving, which makes it helpful in treating anxiety and aiding sleep. It can also be used to boost the immune system by activating our white blood cells in order to fight off infections or illnesses. Furthermore, citronella has been studied for its potential use in treating certain types of cancer due to its content of compounds such as limonene which have strong antioxidant properties. All of these benefits demonstrate just how versatile and powerful citronella essential oil can be when utilized correctly.

Citronella oil is composed of several compounds, including citronellal, citronellol, geraniol and citral. These compounds are responsible for the mosquito repellent properties that give citronella its distinctive odor. Studies have found that these compounds individually and in combination can be effective at keeping mosquitos away.

For instance, a study by Koul et al. (2008) showed that when citronellal and geraniol were used together they had an even greater effect on mosquito repellency than when used alone. Furthermore, studies suggest that other active ingredients in citronella such as limonene may also contribute to its efficacy as a natural insect repellent.

Additionally, research has shown that citronella oil can be an effective alternative to synthetic chemical insect repellents due to its low toxicity to humans and animals while still being able to effectively repel insects away from treated areas.
