Lemongrass Organic Essential Oil 10ml

Awaken your senses with the bright, uplifting aroma of Lemongrass Organic Essential Oil. Extracted from Cymbopogon citratus — also known as 'oil grass' — through steam distillation of fresh or partly-dried leaves, this vibrant oil is a refreshing companion for body and mind.

Believed to fight fatigue and revive a tired body and mind, lemongrass oil also offers a pleasant, natural way to help keep pets free of fleas and ticks. Its zesty character comes from citral, the same compound that gives lemon peel its distinctive flavour.

Lemongrass oil is traditionally used to relieve jet lag, headaches, nervous exhaustion, and stress. It is said to boost the parasympathetic nervous system, support faster recovery from illness, and stimulate glandular secretions. It helps tone muscles and tissue, easing muscle pain, and is useful for soothing sore throats, laryngitis, and fevers while helping to limit the spread of infection. It also aids digestive discomfort such as colitis, indigestion, and gastroenteritis, clears oily skin, and reduces excessive perspiration.

Please note: Lemongrass oil can irritate the skin, so care should be taken when applying it topically. Avoid use during pregnancy.

Lemongrass is a perennial aromatic grass that once grew wild in India, where it is known as choomana poolu. Also called Indian Verbena or Indian Melissa oil, it has long been used in Ayurveda — the ancient art of healing — to bring down fevers and treat infectious illnesses, earning it the name 'fevergrass'.
