How to Use Citronella Oil:

1. Aromatherapy: Add a few drops of Citronella essential oil to a diffuser or oil burner to fill the room with a fresh, energizing aroma while dispersing the therapeutic effects. You can also inhale directly from the bottle or a tissue. Citronella essential oil can be used as a standalone product or mixed with other essential oils to create essential oil blends. 

2. Skincare: Mix 2–5 drops of Citronella oil with 1 teaspoon of carrier oil and apply to areas requiring purification or deodorizing.

3. Hair Care: Massage into the scalp with a carrier oil and rinse after 15–30 minutes. Can also be added to shampoo for a refreshing cleanse and scalp support.

4. Pain Relief (Massages): Blend with carrier oil and apply to sore muscles and joints. Ideal after a workout or during seasonal joint discomfort. Also useful in a warm bath for a soothing soak.

5. Respiratory Support: Inhale steam infused with Citronella oil to help clear nasal passages and ease mild congestion. Diffuse overnight to purify the air and support breathing.

6. Natural Cleaning: Mix with water and vinegar or alcohol (5–20% dilution) to create a powerful cleaner. Excellent for use on counters, pet areas, garbage bins, and bathrooms.

7. Insect Repellent: Combine with water in a spray bottle and mist over skin, clothing, and outdoor areas. Use in a diffuser to keep mosquitoes away during warm evenings.

Caution: For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs. Natural essential oils are highly concentrated and should be mixed with a carrier oil (2-5% of essential oil in 95-98% of carrier oil) before applying on the skin.
