Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil has a fresh and sharp aroma with woody undertones. Instantly energising, Lemongrass is said to be uplifting and invigorating with the ability to cut through mental clutter and improve your powers of concentration.
Lemongrass is one of the more important members of the family of scented grasses native to India, which are also cultivated in other tropical areas, particularly Brazil, sri Lanka and parts of central Africa.
Lemongrass has a very long history of use in traditional Indian medicine, particularly against infectious illnesses and fevers. It is a very powerful antiseptic and bactericide. It has been found to have a soothing effect on headaches.
It is also often used for sports massage to relieve aches and pains, muscular spasms and tension.
Benefits for acne, athletes foot, insect repellent (fleas, lice, ticks), scabies, muscular pain, headaches, stress.
Lemongrass as a bath oil is refreshing, antiseptic and deodorant but needs to be used with care because of possible skin irritation. Do not use more that 3 drops at a time, and dilute before adding to the water with a carrier oil. Footbaths are very refreshing for tired feet, and helpful for excessive sweating.
