Ways we use Lemongrass Oil:

Health:

Cooking for your Health

• Lemongrass Oil is good for your digestion so why not add a drop of Lemongrass Oil to your cooking e.g. in salad dressings, marinades, Asian dishes and slow cooks. I add it to Thai Red Curry in place of Lemongrass because I never have the actual plant Lemongrass at hand.

Soothing Muscles

• I add Lemongrass Oil to blends that will be used for muscle issues. I usually blend Ice Blue Oil with Frankincense Oil , Copaiba Oil and Lemongrass Oil to soothe muscular pain and warm the muscles. Add about 10 drops of each oil to a Roller Ball Bottle and dilute with Fractionated Coconut Oil.

Soothing Skin

• Use Lemongrass Oil with your favourite skin lotion to help soothe dry skin. Apply your lotion to your hand and add a drop of oil. Rub your hands together and apply the lotion+oil to your skin. We use a non- scented hand cream to do this.

Personal Hygiene

• Add Lemongrass Oil to your  Body Wash for Showering  for a wonderful rich aroma in the shower!
• Lemongrass Oil makes a great addition to Foot Spray for Stinky Feet

Household Uses

Cleaning

• Add about 20 drops of Lemongrass Oil to a spray bottle and fill with water for a versatile spray cleaner. You can add vinegar if you like and you can add in additional oils too. I sometimes use Lemongrass in place of Lemon Oil to clean my bathroom.
• Make your own Dishwasher Tablets with Lemongrass Oil to ensure that your dishes are clean and fresh.

Air Purity

• Diffusing Lemongrass Oil together with Lime Oil is a great way to start the day. Lemongrass freshens up a musty smelling house.
• Make DIY Room Spray with Lemongrass Oil. It leaves your bathroom smelling wonderful. If you spray on the toilet seat and bowl, it cleans those surfaces too.

Anti Bug Spray

• Roll on or spray diluted Lemongrass Oil onto your skin to help deter mosquitoes from attacking you!
