Pranarom Organic Java Citronella Essential Oil is derived from the above-ground parts of the plant. Java lemongrass is a herb native to Indonesia that features long, narrow leaves, as well as linear stems and inflorescences. Its fresh, green, lemony scent is similar to that of lemon balm.
Pranarom’s Java Citronella Essential Oil, thanks to its rich composition of citronellal, geraniol, and terpenic aldehydes, proves to be an effective anti-inflammatory. Topical application to the skin helps treat various skin inflammations. The esters present in this essential oil work to reduce inflammation and soothe irritated areas, making it particularly well-suited for skin treatments, as well as for relieving insect bites and allergic skin reactions.
This essential oil is recognized for its effectiveness as a natural repellent. Citronellal, one of its main components, is particularly effective at repelling insects, including mosquitoes. Its use is therefore recommended in mosquito-infested areas to prevent bites and the diseases they can transmit. Additionally, this oil has the ability to destroy mosquito larvae, thus providing an effective method of preventing the proliferation of these insects.
The terpenic aldehydes in Java Citronella essential oil give it antiseptic, deodorizing, and sanitizing properties. It is therefore ideal for purifying the air by eliminating pathogens and neutralizing unpleasant odors. This property makes it a preferred choice for sanitizing living spaces, offices, or healthcare facilities.
Java Citronella essential oil is also recognized for its antibacterial action, thanks to citronellal and geraniol. These molecules make the oil effective against various bacterial strains, thereby helping to prevent infections. Its fungicidal effect is particularly effective against fungi such as Candida albicans, which cause various conditions including oral, digestive, and vaginal candidiasis.
In addition to its external properties, this essential oil also offers internal benefits, particularly due to its anti-intestinal parasite properties. It helps combat the growth of parasites in the intestine, playing a crucial role in managing intestinal imbalances and parasitic infections.
Pranarom’s Java Citronella essential oil is a treasure of purity and organic quality. Extracted from the leaves of the Cymbopogon winterianus plant, this essential oil is obtained through steam distillation, thereby preserving all its therapeutic properties.
