Description:

Lemongrass Essential Oil is extracted from the Cymbopogon genus, a group of plants native to tropical regions of Asia, Africa, Australia, and various islands. This essential oil is known for its distinctive, fresh, citrus-like aroma, which makes it a popular ingredient in both culinary and therapeutic applications. Cymbopogon citratus (West Indian lemongrass) is widely used in Southeast Asian cooking, lending a vibrant, lemony flavor to dishes, while Cymbopogon nardus (citronella grass) is primarily known for its powerful insect-repelling properties The oil is rich in geraniol and citronellol, two compounds responsible for its antiseptic and insect-repellent qualities. These make lemongrass oil a common ingredient in natural insect repellents, soaps, candles, and household disinfectants. Lemongrass oil is also valued in aromatherapy for its ability to uplift the spirit and promote relaxation with its refreshing, invigorating fragrance In folk medicine, lemongrass tea has been traditionally used for its calming effects, though scientific results have been mixed. Recognized as generally safe by the FDA, lemongrass essential oil is a versatile and aromatic oil with a wide range of uses, from enhancing food flavors to promoting wellness.
