This lemony scented oil is often mistaken for Citronella or Lemongrass because of the high concentration of the aldehyde citronellal. It is indicated for arthritis, muscle and joint pain, skin care, cellulite. The aldehyde content lends this oil a sedative quality. Monica Haas (Quick Reference Guide) says that one of the most effective anti-inflammatory agents of natural medicine is a blend of Eucalyptus citriodora and Everlast (Helichrysum italicum). The synergistic combination of the citronellal and citronellol make this oil anti-bacterial against S. aureus. It has also shown effectiveness against Candida and other fungi.
