llocal sources for citronella oil or eucalyptus oil?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I just mixed up some natural " Off " per Will Winter's recipe. I was unable to

find any citronella oil so I just used a few drops of eucalyptus essential oil

(that I had lying around from when I had made baby wipes- those were good!).

Hopefully that will do the trick.

But still I'm interested in finding a source of citronella oil in town if at

all possible. Do share if you know! If I have no choice, I may have to mail

order some and pay some shipping costs that way- ugh. A friend suggested a pet

store, would that be a source of quality citronella oil? Thanks!

I wouldn't buy much of anything from the local pet stores especially the big

box retail stores. Not much quality. Someone should open a NATURAL pet

store. I bet it would work.

I'd get the CITRONELLA OIL from a real herb shop (Tao, Sassefras, Present

Moment or others) or even Whole Foods sells it. A lot of garden stores sell it

as well but I can't attest to the quality. For now, your eucalyptus oil should

do

the trick. Eat your garlic as well.

I've looked in Whole Foods. NO Citronella! I've looked high and low, but guess

I'll have to look even higher and even lower...LOL. If nothing else, I can

always ask my NFS to order it..if they already have essential oils, not a

problem to add one specific one to make a certain member happier. ;-)

I guess I was a bit confused there...thinking oil of citronella is different

than citronella essential oil. Me wrongo there. Duh me!

Personally I am NOT touching mineral oil even with a ten foot pole. It's

derived from petroleum. Eww, I think I'll pass (for life! ;-)

Thanks for the help! I just don't know about the garlic though....it would

drive DH from my/the bed! ROTFL!
