Lemongrass Essential Oil

Lemongrass Essential Oil

In addition to its refreshingly herbaceous, citrusy, and somewhat grassy aroma, AWO’s 100% pure Lemongrass Essential Oil is rich in essential oil benefits that have been seen to be beneficial in all aspects of life, from aromatherapy and skincare to household cleaning.

• Because of its naturally occurring astringent properties, the benefits of Lemongrass Essential Oil have been seen to fight blemishes and balance oily skin, making it a fantastic essential oil for acne.
• In aromatherapy, Lemongrass Oil is also known to be an energising stimulant and because of this, many find it helpful when it comes to combatting jetlag.
• Other benefits of Lemongrass Essential Oil have been seen when warding off insects; in fact, Lemongrass Oil shares many characteristics with Citronella Java Essential Oil and because of this, it can be an effective insect repellent.

Not to mention, Lemongrass Essential Oil blends well with a variety of essential oils. For those wanting to create a refreshing and rejuvenating essential oil blend, combine your Lemongrass Oil with Basil essential oil, Bergamot, Ginger, Patchouli and Ylang Ylang essential oils. In addition, Lemongrass Essential Oil blends well with Black Pepper, Carrot Seed, Fennel and Pine essential oils.

How to use Lemongrass Essential Oil

• Diffuse: Add a few drops to an aromatherapy diffuser and let the energising aroma fill your environment.
• Topically/On the Go: Add 2-4 drops of Lemongrass Oil to a 15ml roller bottle and top with Fractionated Coconut Oil to create an on-the-go roller blend. Apply to your wrists, temples, behind your ears & bottoms of your feet.
  See topical dilution guide below for safe topical application
• Massage: Dilute a few drops of Lemongrass Oil into a carrier oil, massage oil, or moisturiser to soothe sore, tight and fatigued muscles.
  
• Skin Serum: Add a few drops to a carrier oil of choice; we recommend Jojoba Oil or Rosehip Oil as these carrier oils are well known for their skin benefits. Once diluted, apply nightly to desired areas, avoiding your eyes and sensitive areas. Alternatively, you can add a drop or two to your existing skincare products (cream / lotion) to boost their healing and rejuvenating properties.
• Fast Remedy: Add 1-2 drops of Lemongass Oil to a tissue and inhale at a distance while ensuring that the oil does not come into direct contact with your skin. Alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle!

Topical Dilution Guidelines
Lemongass Oil tends to be more potent than other Essential Oils and therefore a lower percentage is recommended for topical application. Please note that the following guidelines are recommended for healthy adults:

• General Use: 1 – 1.5% dilution (2 – 3 drops per 10ml)
• Facial Application: 0.1 – 0.5% dilution (1 drop per 10ml)
