Description
Cymbopogon citratus / Cymbopogon flexuosus
Lemongrass Essential Oil is steam distilled from the fresh or dried grass of the lemongrass plant. It possesses a fresh, lemony, herbaceous aroma that is bright and uplifting. Just a drop or two of Lemongrass Essential Oil can add a vibrant, citrusy note to any blend while providing powerful antimicrobial and energizing benefits.
Lemongrass Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease mental fatigue, stress, and create an energizing, purifying atmosphere. It is valued for its pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties and is often used in carefully diluted topical applications to help relieve muscle aches, joint pain, and support circulation. Lemongrass should be used with caution and in low dilutions as it can be a skin irritant (see safety notes below).
Emotionally, Lemongrass Essential Oil is refreshing and revitalizing, helping to ease mental exhaustion, improve focus and concentration, lift the spirits, and promote clarity and renewed energy during times of stress or overwhelm.
