• Aromatherapy: The fresh, citrus aroma of lemongrass oil makes it a popular oil for aromatherapy. It can be used in diffusers to create a pleasant and fresh atmosphere in the home.
• Skin Treatment: Citronella oil is believed to have antiseptic and antifungal properties, which is why it is sometimes used in treatments for athlete's foot and other skin conditions. However, it must be diluted properly before being applied to the skin as it can cause irritation in its pure form.
