FAQs Citronella Essential Oil


Q. Does citronella oil repel mosquitoes?

A. Yes. Citronella oil is one of the most widely recognized natural mosquito repellents. It works by masking the scents (carbon dioxide and lactic acid) that attract mosquitoes. To use as a natural bug spray, blend 10–15 drops with water in a spray bottle and apply on exposed skin or clothing. Note that reapplication every 1–2 hours is needed as it evaporates faster than synthetic repellents.

Q. How do I use citronella oil in a diffuser for mosquito protection?

A. Add a few drops of Bhisajyam Citronella Oil to your diffuser or water-based mosquito vaporizer to keep mosquitoes and insects away from your room. The distinctive lemony scent also purifies the air and neutralizes odors. Use 5–8 drops for a standard room diffuser.

Q. Is citronella oil safe to use on skin?

A. Yes, when diluted properly. Blend 2–3 drops into 1 tablespoon of carrier oil or moisturizer before applying on skin. For a natural repellent cream, mix into your body lotion and apply on exposed skin like hands and legs. Avoid undiluted use and keep away from eyes. Do a patch test before first use.

Q. Can citronella oil be used for hair and scalp care?

A. Yes. Citronella helps balance scalp oiliness, reduce dandruff, and soothe irritation. Add 2–3 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil for a scalp massage, leave for 30 minutes, then wash. Alternatively, add 4–5 drops to your shampoo to boost shine and freshness.

Q. How is Bhisajyam Citronella Oil better than mosquito coils?

A. Unlike mosquito coils or chemical sprays, Bhisajyam Citronella Oil is 100% natural with no synthetic chemicals, no smoke, and no toxic fumes. It is safe for use indoors with children and pets (when diffused at appropriate dilution), and also freshens the air with a pleasant citrus scent. Customer reviews confirm it works better than coils for indoor use.
