Origin: Madagascar

Latin/Species: cymbopogon citratus

Distillation/Extraction: Extracted from the fresh or partly dried leaves of the grass.

Suggested Use: Like most lemon-scented oils, lemongrass can be very refreshing. Try adding one drop each of lemongrass, lavender and geranium to a bowl of warm water and soaking prior to a pedicure. Add the same mixture to massage oil for an invigorating foot massage. Also, try a few drops of lemongrass and cedarwood in your diffuser for a light, crisp, woodsy fragrance.  

Did you know: Most of the grass after distillation is used locally to feed cattle. 

Specific Safety Advice: Lemongrass should be used in moderation by those with sensitive skin.
