Lemongrass Essential Oil (Cymbopogon citratus) Lemongrass essential oil is celebrated for its fresh, uplifting aroma and is widely used as a natural “feel-good” oil to help balance emotions and promote mental clarity. When diffused in an oil burner, added to a bath, or blended in massage oils or creams, lemongrass can help relieve stress, ease nervous tension, and support the reduction of headaches. It is also valued for normalising high blood pressure and revitalising both body and mind. As a skin tonic, lemongrass helps open blocked pores, can assist with cellulite, and refreshes tired, aching feet. Additionally, it acts as a natural insect repellent and has traditionally been used to deter fleas and ticks on pets.
