Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil

Lemongrass has been used for centuries in Southeastern cooking, this aromatic herb adds a subtle citrus flavor and fragrance to cuisines. Besides being a delicious citrusy seasoning, this thread-like grass holds many benefits inside its fibrous stalks!

The essential oil of lemongrass is extracted from the leaves or grass of Cymbopogon flexuosus or Cymbopogon Citratus species. The Zongle Therapeutics Organic Lemongrass Oil is obtained from Lemongrass leaves through steam distillation. Lemongrass essential oil has a strong citrus aroma, which is both invigorating and uplifting.

Profile

Scent of Lemongrass Oil is also slightly citrusy and fresh which may help promote alertness when diffused or used as an air freshener. The consistency of this oil is thin and the color varies between pale yellow to golden yellow.

Lemongrass Oil Application

There is a cold pressed version also commercially available, but this steam-distilled version of lemongrass essential oil is not phototoxic. Furthermore, this essential oil has abundant quantities of citral, and needs to be diluted for topical applications. So just a little amount goes a long way!

When combined with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, sweet almond, or avocado), lemongrass essential oil can be applied directly to the skin or added to baths in small amounts.

 Put a few drops of lemongrass essential oil on a piece of cloth or tissue paper and inhale its aroma or use a diffuser or vaporizer of your choice for an energizing session of aromatherapy. Aromatically, Lemongrass Essential Oil blends well with essential oils in the citrus, wood, mint and herbaceous families. It is recommended that lemongrass essential oil must be used in moderation as it has the ability to overpower a blend just like Geranium and Peppermint essential oils.
