Description: Lemongrass has an earthy, yet fresh, citrus aroma. Known to be a powerful purifying oil, it is altogether refreshing and calming at the same time. Due to its high citral content, Lemongrass can irritate the skin so it must be well diluted for topical applications. It is a top note with a strong aroma.

Benefits & Uses:

• its pungent, herbaceous aroma makes a popular addition to outdoor sprays
• refreshing and deodorizing to the air when diffused, and purifying to germy areas when used to clean the home
• uplifting to the spirit, Lemongrass can encourage a positive outlook. Try it an aromatherapy inhaler when a boost of positive energy is needed
• although invigorating, Lemongrass is also emotionally calming
• makes a wonderful addition to massage blends (when well diluted) for its warming properties and ability to boost circulation
