Citronella Java Essential Oil

Cymbopogon winterianus

Originating from Indonesia, Java, citronella has a rich history coming from Asia. It has been used for various medical treatments, religious ceremonies, and several culinary applications for centuries. In recent years, it has been widely used for its natural insect-repellent properties, especially against mosquitoes. Its name, derived from the French word "citronnelle," meaning lemon balm, highlights its crisp, citrus-like scent.
