Lemongrass 50ml Essential Oil

Bright, fresh, and uplifting — lemongrass essential oil captures the sunny spirit of nature in every drop. Distilled from the leaves of Cymbopogon citratus, also known as 'oil grass', this vibrant oil is a beloved staple in aromatherapy for both its lively scent and its wide-ranging benefits.

This oil is said to fight fatigue and help refresh a tired body and mind. It is also a pleasant-smelling way of keeping a pet free of fleas and ticks. Lemongrass contains citral, which provides the main flavour in lemon peel.

Lemongrass oil is believed to relieve jet lag, headaches, nervous exhaustion, and stress. It boosts the parasympathetic nervous system for faster recovery from illness and stimulates glandular secretions. It helps tone muscles and tissue, relieving muscle pain. It's useful for treating sore throat, laryngitis, and fever, and helps stop the spread of infection. It helps with colitis, indigestion, and gastroenteritis. It clears oily skin and reduces excessive perspiration. Please note: it can irritate the skin, so care must be taken when used topically. Avoid use during pregnancy.

Also known as Indian Verbena or Indian Melissa oil, lemongrass is used in Ayurveda, the ancient traditional art of healing, to help bring down fevers and treat infectious illnesses — earning it the nickname 'fevergrass'.
