Lemongrass Essential Oil

Refreshing, balancing and cheerful!



Lemongrass essential oil is energizing, strengthening and good for cheering you up.


Plus, it's excellent for soothing achy muscles and easing stuffed-up breathing - a good choice for aromatherapy cold and flu relief.


Its antiseptic properties and strong, happy scent make lemongrass a great choice for aromatherapy cleaning recipes.


I like to add a few drops to a bucketful of water along with a splash of vinegar for a terrific no-rinse floor washing solution.


Mix it with tea tree and lavender for an antibacterial acne-fighting blend.
