A formula based on citronella oil, menthol, borneol & camphor

Thanks to menthol, Lemongrass Menthol balm produces a cold effect on contact with the skin. With its camphor resin dosage reduced to 6%, it is also resolutely oriented towards well-being and everyday comfort. 

Citronella oil (or Lemongrass oil)

A discreet & pleasant fragrance that soothes, naturally repels insects (particularly useful in mosquito-infested areas), relieves bites, helps fight headaches, nausea & insomnia.

Menthol, borneol, camphor

Dosed at 12%, menthol provides this cooling effect on the skin during application.

Combined with borneol & camphor tree resin (6%), it acts as a local anesthetic.

On their own, these 3 ingredients combine multiple comfort properties, whether in localized skin application, body massage or inhalation.

In Thailand, cold menthol balm combined with lemongrass oil is applied as an insect repellant & soothing in case of sting. By inhalation, it helps to decongest the ENT tract.

In which cases should I use Lemongrass Menthol balm?

Localized application

Unlike the Zingiber Cassumunar Balm which has a heating & curative effect on inflammatory pain, the Citronella Menthol balm will immediately give you a cold effect that relieves muscle and joint pain. This balm is recommended in case of back pain related to unsuitable postures (non-ergonomic sitting position for example).

Malaise & headaches. You can also apply a small amount of balm to the temples to calm headaches, stress or apply under the nostrils to dissipate nausea & discomfort.

To stay focused during a working day, spread a little balm on the wrists or in the hollow of the neck to benefit from its attenuated scents.

Antifungal action. After having attended a public swimming pool or in the event of mycosis on the feet or around the nails (onychomycosis), it is of great help in eradicating the fungi. Ideally, after the shower & just before going to bed, perform a brief foot massage emphasizing the edge of the nails & the intervals between the toes. Leave to act overnight.

Similarly, a light foot massage during the break during your hikes can relieve & cleanse painful feet (risk of toenail fungus) but also to soothe overheating of the feet following a long walk with closed shoes (risk of blisters). Do not apply on a wound.

Intestinal spasms. In case of digestive pain, apply a hazelnut of balm on the abdomen and spread widely. The refreshing effect combined with the analgesic & anti-inflammatory properties of the balm will relieve this discomfort in a few minutes.

Inhalation : ENT decongestant effect & improved oxygenation

After only a few deep inhalations, the dilating effect of the Citronella Menthol balm on the ENT pathways allows you to feel a decongestion of the respiratory system. This dilating effect is temporary but it reduces the discomfort associated with seasonal conditions (sinusitis, rhinitis, colds, fever) & allergic attacks (hay fever, dust mites, plane trees & other plant species).

In the same way, this dilating effect significantly improves oxygenation, dissipating discomfort, motion sickness, stress, anxiety or suffocation attack. Simple & effective.

Finally, the sanitizing effect of inhaled air is linked to the antiseptic active ingredients contained in the scents of camphor, borneol & menthol. These create a medium in the nasal cavities that weakens inhaled pathogens. 

Body massage

At the end of the day, a body massage using the Citronella Menthol balm helps to relax the muscles, improve blood circulation & promote sleep.

Finally, the balm can be applied to the exposed parts to benefit from the insect repellent effect of lemongrass essential oil. If you have just been bitten, spread a little balm on the bite to instantly relieve the discomfort.

How to use Lemongrass Menthol balm?

Localized application

Dosage. A small amount of balm spreads in seconds. Leave on for 2 hours without massaging. That's all it takes. Once properly spread, the coloring of the balm should fade and disappear.

Inhale

- Apply a very thin layer to the thumb, wrists or under the nostrils

- Inhale the scent slowly and deeply

Body massage

Take a dab of balm on one hand. Distribute by rubbing hands together in a circular motion. Massage the desired area.

It is possible to dilute the balm in a bowl of warm water if you approach areas where the skin is thin: armpit or groin for example.
