It is a cicatrizant, capable of helping the body form scar tissue and heal wounds. It is a powerful anti-bacterial agent, and an effective deodorizer.
Taken internally at proper dilution rates (only if you are certain of the purity and quality of your source!), citronella essential oil can help stomach upset, digestive complaints, and obesity.
It is a digestive tonic. It can be used to clear stomach infections, which can also help ulcers and pre-ulcer conditions.
It is a vermifuge, and can be used as an effective addition to parasite cleanses.
