Lemongrass Essential Oil

Cymbopogon

Plant and Oil Description

Bring the scent and energy of the tropics to your day with SenseLAB’s lemongrass oil. Native to Southeast Asia, its fragrant lemon-scented leaves have been used by indigenous groups culinarily and to treat a wide variety of ailments in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. Lemongrass is even used in the southern United States tradition of Hoodoo for kindling love affairs and for protection against evil. 

What’s it Good For?

1. Headaches and migraines – Headaches and migraines are triggered by blood platelets clumping together and low levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Lemongrass contains eugenol, a compound similar to aspirin that increases serotonin production and influences blood platelet action. When a migraine strikes, add our lemongrass oil to a massage oil, bath, diffuser, or vaporizer for relief.
2. Healthy gums – Antioxidants in addition to antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties work together to help treat and prevent gum inflammation. Using a lemongrass-infused mouthwash in addition to your regular dental hygiene routine can ward off help to ward off the leading gum disease, gingivitis.
3. Stress and anxiety – When inhaled or absorbed through the skin, lemongrass interacts with the brain’s limbic system, which stimulates the central nervous system. Add SenseLAB’s lemongrass essential oil to a diffuser, vaporizer, or massage oil to help relieve anxiety, lower blood pressure, and decrease overall stress.
4. Antiseptic and insect repellent – SenseLAB’s lemongrass oil can be used to create all-natural homemade antiseptic soaps, disinfectants, and insect repellents. Lemongrass is harvested commercially to extract citronella oil, widely used as a mosquito repellent in insect sprays and candles. In addition, citronella contains antiseptic properties that make it a popular ingredient for commercially-produced household disinfectants and soaps. 

How to Use It?

Add our lemongrass oil to mouthwash to help protect gums against the leading gum disease, gingivitis. Make all-natural insect repellent sprays and candles. Create your own homemade antiseptic soaps and disinfectants. Add to a massage oil, bath, diffuser, or vaporizer to relieve migraines.
