Lemongrass Essential Oil

Bright, vibrant, and full of life, Lemongrass essential oil is prized for helping transform fatigue into energy and mental clutter into clarity.Steam-distilled from the fragrant leaves of the lemongrass plant, it has been used for centuries in traditional herbal practices throughout Asia. Its fresh, citrus-herbal aroma may help reduce mental fatigue, promote focus, and create an uplifting atmosphere. When diluted and applied topically, lemongrass is often used to soothe tired muscles, support post-activity recovery, and promote healthy-looking skin. Refreshing and invigorating, lemongrass inspires a sense of renewal that helps you feel energized, balanced, and ready to move forward with purpose.

For topical use, Lemongrass essential oil should be diluted more carefully than many other citrus oils, as it contains naturally occurring citral compounds that can be irritating to sensitive skin.

• 0.5% dilution: about 1 drop of Lemongrass essential oil per 2 teaspoons of Platinum Nourishing carrier oil
• 1% dilution: about 1 drop per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing carrier oil
  

For most people, especially for daily use or sensitive skin, 1 drop per 2 teaspoons of Platinum Nourishing carrier oil is a good starting point. If well tolerated, you may increase to 1 drop per teaspoon for massage, post-activity recovery, or targeted applications.

Always perform a patch test before wider use. Avoid applying to the face, sensitive skin, or broken skin. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and further dilute before future applications.
