Ancient Wisdom Lemongrass Dilute Essential Oil - 10ml Bottle

This Lemongrass essential oil is extracted from Cymbopogon Citratus, also known as 'oil grass', from the fresh or partly-dried leaves by steam distillation. This oil is said to fight fatigue and help refresh a tired body and mind.

Lemongrass oil is believed to relieve jet lag, headaches, nervous exhaustion, and stress. It can irritate the skin, however, so care must be taken when used on skin, with a carrier oil being used. Avoid use during pregnancy.
