Spirit-lifting Lemongrass has a strong fresh, lemony, tea-like aroma that’s refreshing and deodorizing when diffused. Lemongrass is known as being a helpful addition to outdoor sprays and can improve overall mood and spirit. It can also be added to a carrier oil and used topically to boost circulation, bringing warmth to overused muscles and joints. Steam distilled from lemongrass leaves, this essential oil contains citral, a powerful skin sensitizer, and requires proper dilution. We recommend a maximum dilution of 0.7% for topical use. To help ease aches associated with aging, try two drops of Lemongrass Oil in two teaspoons (10 ml) of carrier oil along with two drops of lavender or sweet marjoram for a soothing muscle rub.
