Lemongrass essential oil
(Cymbopogon flexuosus)
Lemongrass essential oil is for use aromatically and topically while Lemongrass Vitality essential oil is a dietary oil and therefore can be ingested.
Originating in Southeast Asia, Lemongrass essential oil is distilled from the leaves and woody stalks of the lemongrass plant. With a subtle citrus-herb scent, Lemongrass oil offers a sophisticated and relaxing aroma that transforms your home’s environment.
Try diffusing Lemongrass for an aroma that can inspire a sense of clarity and relaxation for you and your whole family. Enhance that relaxing aroma by adding Lemongrass oil to your cleaning products, dishes, and laundry. Add 3–4 drops in a sink full of dishes, a load of laundry, or your all-purpose cleaner formula for an exotic, clean-smelling boost. Its relaxing aroma also makes it a great complement to post-workout massage.
Lemongrass is a key ingredient in En-R-Gee™, Ortho Ease® Massage Oil, and Ortho Sport® Massage Oil.
