Citronella essential oil Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt.
eng. Java citronella;
fr. herbe citron de Java;
germ. Javacitronelle.
In the West, citronel oil has become popular for its intrusive properties. With it, the production of candles began, which became extremely popular. As a result, many of us can easily recognize the strong, refreshing, lemongrass scent of citronels or other lemongrass. Bet its rich and extremely good aromatherapy properties are not appreciated.
Citronella Oil became fashionable in the 19th century. It was first brought to Europe from Sri Lanka, where citronellas grew. At that time it did not yet have a name know now, but was called by a traditional name: siree oil.
The main citronel essential oils used in aromatherapy are derived from intoxicating lemongrass, also known as Java type, and fragrant lemongrass. The essential aromatic substances that make up their essential oil are practically the same, but the proportions are different.
