Lemongrass Essential Oil
Pure Lemongrass essential oil - Available in 10 ml and 30 ml size
INCI Name: Cymbopogon schoenanthus (Lemongrass) Leaf Oil
The oil comes from a fast-growing scented Indian grass that reaches heights of up to 1.5 m / 3 ft. In traditional Ayurvedic medicine, Lemongrass is used to help lower fever and calm the nervous system. Traditional Chinese medicine recommends Lemongrass oil to ease stomach pains and also to relieve headaches, colds and rheumatism. Because the plant and its essential oil have a strong lemony scent, they are both used to keep stinging insects at bay.
Steamed-distilled from the leaves, Lemongrass Essential Oil has a fresh, slightly earthy, but strong citrusy scent. Refreshing, rejuvenating, stimulating, and balancing, it is used to inspire creativity and improve mental clarity.
