How is this lemongrass oil used in aromatherapy?
In aromatherapy lemongrass oil is valued for its fresh, uplifting, cleansing character. It is used in diffusers to freshen and revive a room, in massage blends to support a feeling of revitalisation, and in natural room and body sprays. Always use it diluted: 2-4 drops in a diffuser per session, and no more than 1-2% in a massage oil.

- The traditional reputation is refreshing, anti-insect and cleansing; these are lifestyle aromatherapy uses, not medical claims
- Because of the high citral content, keep the concentration low and avoid use on very sensitive or damaged skin
- Do a patch test on the inner forearm 24 hours before first use; avoid the eye area
