Summer is prime time for mosquitoes, fleas and ticks. Citronella oil wards off these pests without toxins or harmful effects, making it safe alternative for children and pregnant women.
 
A plant-based insect repellent, Citronella is also used in aromatherapy because it has the properties to ease joint pain and brings tonus to the body. It can even be used as an astringent against oily skin and an antispasmodic agent against muscular problems.
