How to Use Lemongrass Oil:
- For aromatherapy, add a few drops of lemongrass oil to a diffuser to uplift mood, reduce stress and anxiety, and create a refreshing, energizing atmosphere. You can also inhale the citrusy aroma directly from the bottle for an instant pick-me-up.
-
Mix lemongrass oil with a carrier oil like coconut, jojoba, or almond and massage onto sore muscles and joints to relieve pain and inflammation, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Add 1-2 drops of diluted lemongrass oil to your favorite skincare products like moisturizer, face masks, or cleansers to help purify the skin, fight acne, and promote a healthy glow.
- Combine lemongrass oil with water in a spray bottle to create a natural insect repellent and air freshener that eliminates odors and keeps bugs at bay.
-
Always dilute lemongrass essential oil properly before topical use and perform a patch test to check for skin sensitivity. Avoid contact with eyes and other sensitive areas, and stay out of direct sunlight after applying lemongrass oil to the skin as it can cause photosensitivity.
