Citronella Incense: The Incense That Repels Bugs and Flies

Why Incense Against Bugs?

For centuries, incense has not just been about prayer and meditation, it has also been about protection. In tropical regions, specific herbs and resins were burned not just for fragrance but to ward off pests and insects. Among these,  Citronella Incense has become the natural favorite.

What Is Citronella?

Citronella comes from lemongrass, a tall grass native to Asia. It has a fresh, lemony scent that humans find uplifting but insects find overpowering. When burned as incense, citronella releases compounds that repel mosquitoes, flies, and other bugs.

How Citronella Incense Works

The smoke forms a subtle protective cloud, masking the scents like carbon dioxide and sweat that attract mosquitoes. Unlike chemical repellents, citronella incense is gentle, natural, and aromatic.

Benefits Beyond Bug Repelling

• Fresh Atmosphere: Clean, citrusy scent for outdoor dinners or balconies.

• Stress Relief: Uplifting aroma that reduces tension.

• Eco-Friendly: A sustainable alternative to chemical repellents.
