LEMONGRASS ESSENTIAL OIL 10 ml

Lemongrass, a fragrant herb native to India, has long been utilized in traditional Indian medicine, especially for treating fevers and various infections. Originating from tropical climates, this herb has multiple names: caña santa in Cuba, zacate limón in Mexico, molojillo criollo in Venezuela, and hierba limón or hierba calentura in other Spanish-speaking regions. Lemongrass naturally grows in parts of Asia, Africa, and America, though it is often cultivated for its medicinal and cosmetic properties. The plant consists of elongated, ribbon-like leaves that can reach heights between 60 and 120 centimeters, exuding a delightful fragrance, rarely producing flowers, and turning reddish when they dry. The essential oil extracted from lemongrass carries a fresh lemon scent complemented by earthy notes, offering a range of effects including stimulation, relaxation, and balance. It is particularly useful in managing feelings of excessive responsibility or being overwhelmed. The benefits of lemongrass essential oil are notable: cosmetically, it acts as a dermoprotective, astringent, deodorizing, and revitalizing agent, balancing oily skin and effectively treating acne, while also aiding in the reduction of subcutaneous nodules and boils—making it excellent for firming and improving sagging skin. On a therapeutic level, it serves as an analgesic, antimicrobial, antifungal, and carminative, alleviating fever and providing insecticidal benefits as well. Emotionally, lemongrass essential oil has antidepressant and sedative properties, assisting those burdened by responsibilities and feelings of life's pressures, especially for individuals who perceive existence as an arduous climb.
