Citronella always makes us think of mosquitos, am I right? But this bright and grassy smelling oil can also be used to combat colds, anxiety, inflammation and more which makes it impossible to overlook this little gem from the Creator when it comes to caring for our families! I thank Jesus for a natural, deet free way to fight bugs, but there is so much more to unwrap in the gift of Citronella!
