Organic Essential Lemongrass Oil, 10ml

Our organically crafted Lemongrass Essential Oil is steam distilled from the rich, spicy green grasses of the Cymbopogon flexuosus plant, cultivated in the rural countryside of southern India.

Lemongrass, native to tropical regions like Africa, Asia, and Australia, has traditionally been used for medicinal, cosmetic, and culinary purposes.

It is suggested that in 1905, lemongrass was first steam distilled into essential oil. It's reported that the Philippines exported lemongrass oil in the 17th century, with distribution said to be restricted and kept a secret.

Initially introduced to warmer climates before gaining popularity in the US, organic lemongrass essential oil is now one of the most popular oils in cosmetics. Today, it is used as a natural fragrance in cosmetics, often incorporated into diffusers, soaps, aromatherapy, and homemade deodorizers.

Our organic lemongrass essential oil is extracted through steam distillation from the lemongrass plant. It is yellow to amber in colour and boasts a sweet, fresh scent. Certified organic by the Soil Association, we undergo annual inspections to ensure compliance with strict regulations.

Lemongrass essential oil is said to benefit sleep by relieving tension and anxiety, though there are no studies specifically testing its sleep-inducing benefits. However, it has been found to reduce anxiety, potentially aiding in relaxation. It is suggested to use a diffuser or blend the oil to spread the scent around your sleeping area.

A 2019 study found lemongrass to be an effective natural repellent against mosquitoes. Blending it with other effective essential oils can create a highly efficient insect repellent.

Beyond its traditional uses, lemongrass essential oil continues to be celebrated for its versatile applications. Its refreshing and invigorating properties make it a valuable addition to any wellness routine, enhancing both physical and emotional well-being. Whether used in skincare, household products, or as a natural remedy, lemongrass essential oil offers a holistic approach to health and beauty.

Our organic essential oils come in quality 10ml amber bottles with a driplulator cap.
