Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil is a great choice for any skin related fungal issues (think athlete's foot). It is also insect repelling. Always dilute Lemongrass oil when applying to the skin. It contains a high percentage of citral (geranial and neral synergy), which can be skin irritating if not properly diluted.
