Lemongrass essential oil, extracted from the leaves, is used in aromatherapy to revive the mind and soul.
Lemongrass oil has mood-elevating properties and can help ease feelings of stress or irritability.
Its soothing effects can be enjoyed both when inhaled and when applied topically.
Lemongrass oil can also be rubbed into the skin to help relieve muscle soreness and promote circulation.
Plus, lemongrass oil has antiseptic and astringent properties that help to naturally tone and strengthen skin tissues.
Combine a few drops of lemongrass oil with your facial cleanser or moisturizer for skin toning and to help improve skin complexion.
Of course, one of the most popular uses for lemongrass oil is to repel mosquitoes, ants and fleas.
