I enjoy scouring through the heath shop and finding new natural remedies. My latest find is citronella essential oil, which is quite affordable, and has a mild scent like eucalyptus or peppermint or lemon. Citronella oil is extracted from a certain type of lemongrass and is widely used in aromatherapy. As with all essential oils, you only need to use a small amount, therefore it is measured in drops.
When used in aromatherapy, citronella oil can help treat colds, fevers and headaches. When used in massage, it can help relieve arthritic pain. It can also be used as a flavouring in food, and to calm barking dogs.
