Eucalyptus Citriodora is fresh, clearing and lemony. It is very useful as an insect repellent and is also refreshing and energising. It is also good oil to use for colds and muscular stiffness.
Eucalyptus Citriodora is often used as a minor ingredient in soap and detergent perfumes to add freshness and is commonly the active ingredient in natural insect repellents. Eucalyptus Radiata and Globulus have a higher pinene content and are therefore more useful in steam inhalations.

- Use 8-10 drops of Eucalyptus Citriodora in a diffuser or burner to ward off insects.
