Citronella Lemongrass Incense Sticks

Here are some basic tips for keeping all your incense burning experiences safe and pleasant.

How to use as mosquito repellent:

1. Place Citronella Lemongrass Incense Stick in a Incense Holder about 4 feet from area where you will be sitting or doing activities out doors. For best results place 2 incense sticks about 5 feet apart on opposite sides of you and light, blow the fire out but do not put out lit end of incense stick. Our Citronella Lemongrass Incense Sticks will cover about 8 feet to help prevent an invasion of mosquitoes from the surrounding area. If you feel like you need more to enhance the repellent barrier then light another. Also it is best to light and allow the incense to burn for about 5-8 minutes before you go in the area.
2. As with any mosquito repellents, this mosquito repellent is not guaranteed to give a 100% protection from mosquito bites. It will help prevent an infestation of mosquitoes and deter mosquitoes as well as other pest away for the time that it is lit.
3. If the wind is blowing more than usual, the incense will be less effective with one or two, so a 3rd will need to be lit.
4. In high humidity the incense may not stay lit, allow incense to air out to dry and then burn. Our incense have 100% natural essential oils from the citronella and lemongrass plants therefore the fragrance will last longer in the incense while in a closed sealed package.

Further Instruction and Warning:

• Brushing against the lit tip of a burning incense can cause a significant burn on the skin or ruin a favorite article of clothing.
• Always place your burner on a heat-resistant flat surface.
• If you're using charcoal tablets to burn non-combustible incense always use a burner that can take the heat.
• Place your burning incense in or on a stable, non-flammable, heatproof burner. Charcoal tablets burned in a glass container without the use of sand or ash can cause the burner to get extremely hot and even shatter.
• Make sure your burner is properly insulated so that the surface you place it on is protected from the heat that it could generate.
• Ash falling outside your incense burner could discolor furniture. It may even be hot enough to cause a fire hazard. Make sure all incense ash falls on a fireproof surface.
• Always be conscious of where you burn your incense and what it might come in contact with. Position your incense away from drapes, lampshades, and other flammable objects that could ignite.
• Keep your burner away from open windows or other drafty areas. Don't put your burner next to anything that could be blown around.
• Never burn incense inside closets or hang anything above burning incense. Hanging clothing above burning incense is a potential fire hazard. The smoke from the incense may also cause discoloration.
• Keep both unlit and burning incense out of reach of children and pets to avoid any possible injury.
• Burn incense in a ventilated area.
• Never leave burning incense unattended. If you have to leave or you're going to sleep and your incense is still burning, put it out!
• Make sure all your lit incense materials are completely extinguished and cold to the touch, before discarding. Charcoal ash can remain hot for hours after your incense has burned out. Hot incense material can ignite in a wastebasket.
• For stick incense, break off the glowing tip and discard it in water or just dip the tip in water. If you use a censer, turn the stick upside down and bury the burning end in the sand or ash. The incense stick can then be relit in the future.
• If you're asthmatic, suffer from respiratory difficulty, are prone to seizures or have had a stroke, check with your physician before burning incense.
• If you're pregnant or nursing consult a physician before using incense.
• Don't burn incense while under the influence of mind-altering substances.
• Some herbal incense can have mind altering affects. For instance, some people find mugwort to be slightly mind-altering. Burning this herb should be avoided before driving. If you're new to burning herbs its best to read about the specific herbs you'll be using
• Do not take internally. Incense, even if labeled herbal, is not for human consumption. It may have other ingredients added that where never meant to be ingested.

Citronella Benefits used as a Insect Repellent:

With a strong reputation for repelling biting insects, Citronella essential oil contains volatile oils that irritate mosquitoes in particular. Citronella oil is a type of essential oil widely used in aromatherapy. Sourced from different species of Cymbopogon (lemongrass), citronella oil has been registered as an insect repellent in the United States since 1948.1 The aromatic compounds in citronella oil are commonly incorporated into soaps, lotions, candles, incense, perfumes, and sprays. There is much controversy about the effectiveness of Citronella and its protection from bites, there is certainly research to back it up. In 2011, an analysis of 11 studies on the capabilities of Citronella oil to repel mosquitoes was published in the “Journal of Tropical Medicine & International Health”. Researchers found that when combined with vanillin, the oil did indeed provide protection for up to three hours. Additionally, research was published in “The Israel Medical Association Journal” which showed how Citronella can be effective in helping to prevent head lice too.If you are using this oil as an insect repellent, it is vital that it is diluted at around a 2% dilution to avoid skin irritation. If Citronella is being used alone to repel insects, research indicates that it needs to be reapplied every 30 minutes to 1 hour to remain bite free. Some researchers recommend mixing Citronella with other bug battling essential oils such as lemon eucalyptus, neem and lemongrass.Due to its anti-fungal and antiseptic qualities, Citronella can be used to help to heal bites too.
