Using the fragrant stalks of lemongrass in cooking and in herbal preparations is an ancient activity, as is using Lemongrass oil to preserve ancient texts. The Palm Leaf Manuscripts, a series of ancient Indian texts dating back to the 5th century BCE, have survived for thousands of years thanks to the natural preservative properties found in Lemongrass Essential Oil.
Our Lemongrass Essential Oil is an invigorating tonic and multitalented treasure. Lemongrass smooths and soothes muscles and skin. It is a terrific toning oil for caring of the skin’s connective tissue, muscle-melting massages, aiding athlete’s feet, and stimulating sluggish skin.
This intensely aromatic oil fortifies senses while cultivating a sense of calm invigoration. Students, thinkers, writers, and creatives alike will enjoy this erudite aroma combined with rosemary for clear concentration.
Cleaning with lemongrass makes a home sheen with a deep sanitizing clean. Add drops to mop water, counter-cleaning sprays, bath tub scrubs, and dishwashing soaps.
Enjoy lively Lemongrass Essential Oil as it opens the doors of perception to optimism, clarifies the mind from fogginess to focus, and enlivens emotions from stagnancy to soaring.
“I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the stars.”
~ Walt Whitman
“Green and lemony are the fragrance categories to which lemongrass belongs. When inhaled in low amounts, green oils can induce renewal and transformation on the psyche. Just as it stimulates the elimination pathways of physical toxins, so Lemongrass can help resolve day to day distressed feelings and pathogenic emotions, especially when these are underpinned by pessimism and mental depression.”
~ Peter Holmes, Aromatica
“Plainly straightforward, the spirit of lemongrass illuminates what has been with the statement ‘Forgive, then forget’.”
~ Valerie Ann Worwood, Aromatherapy for the Soul
