Pha Chế & Hòa Hợp
Citral (geranial + neral, ~43% combined) disrupts bacterial cell membrane integrity and inhibits growth across Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains, a well-established class-level mechanism for citral-dominant essential oils.
Ref: class-extrapolation from citral-rich EOs (lemongrass, lemon myrtle, May chang); Tisserand & Young 2014, Ch.14 Citral profile
Citral interferes with fungal cell wall biosynthesis and ergosterol pathways, conferring antifungal activity against Candida spp. and dermatophytes at the constituent class level.
Ref: class-extrapolation from citral-rich EOs; Tisserand & Young 2014, Ch.14 Citral profile
Citral suppresses adipogenic transcription factors (PPARγ, C/EBPα) and reduces lipid accumulation in adipocytes, demonstrated in a rodent energy-intense diet model at oral pharmacological doses.
Ref: Modak T, Mukhopadhaya A. (2011), Indian Journal of Experimental Biology 49(3):223-230
Citral and co-present monoterpene alcohols donate hydrogen to free radicals; DPPH and ABTS scavenging activity extrapolated from the citral-dominant EO constituent class.
Ref: class-extrapolation from citral-rich EOs (lemon myrtle, May chang); Tisserand & Young 2014, Ch.14
Fresh lemon-citrus olfactory profile activates limbic mood circuits; citral inhalation is associated with anxiolytic-adjacent psychophysiological responses via serotonergic modulation at class level.
Ref: class-extrapolation from lemon-scented citral-dominant EOs; Tisserand & Young 2014, Ch.14
Geranial and neral (citral isomers) are volatile aldehydes that interfere with insect olfactory receptors and act as contact deterrents; well-supported for citral-class EOs across multiple pest species.
Ref: class-extrapolation from citral-rich EOs (lemongrass, citronella); Tisserand & Young 2014, Ch.14
Citral inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine production (IL-1β, TNF-α) and demonstrates mild COX-inhibitory activity in vitro at the constituent class level.

AI-summary
No RCT-grade clinical evidence for Ocimum × citriodorum EO has been located. The strongest available evidence is Modak & Mukhopadhaya (2011), a preclinical rodent study demonstrating citral's antiadipogenic and insulin-sensitising properties in an energy-intense diet model — an oral pharmacological context, not aromatherapy dilutions. All other therapeutic actions are class-extrapolated from the constituent citral profile (~43% geranial + neral), well-characterised across lemon myrtle, lemongrass, and May chang EOs. Chemistry source is Fakhry (2002, private communication) for Egyptian-cultivar commercial lemon basil EO. Traditional use as an uplifting, antimicrobial, and insect-repellent oil is supported by constituent class evidence only; no species-specific human trial data exist.

| Phương pháp | Liều lượng | Ghi chú |
|---|---|---|
| Diffusion | 3–5 drops per 100 ml water; 20–30 min sessions | Intermittent use; ventilate room after session. Citral vapour may irritate mucous membranes with prolonged exposure. Avoid near infants and young children. |
| Topical massage | 0.5–1.4% in carrier oil (adult max 1.4%) | Start at 0.5% to screen citral tolerance. AVOID: pregnancy (teratogenicity), breastfeeding, children under 2. CYP2B6 drug interaction class; monitor blood glucose if on antidiabetic medication. |
| Direct inhalation | 1–2 drops on tissue; 3–5 min intermittent | Suitable for mood elevation and insect deterrence in personal space. Avoid prolonged continuous inhalation; citral aldehydes may irritate nasal and throat mucosa. |
| Skincare formulation | 0.3–0.7% in finished leave-on product | Conservative cap limits cumulative citral load. Patch-test mandatory before facial use. Not for sensitive or reactive skin — citral sensitisation risk above 0.5% leave-on. |
| Bath (pre-diluted) | 3–5 drops pre-diluted in 1 tbsp carrier oil or full-fat milk | Never add undiluted; citral droplets irritate perineal and mucous-membrane tissue. Max 5 drops per bath. Avoid in pregnancy and for children under 12. |
