Characteristics of Lemongrass Essential Oil
A powerful citrus aroma with therapeutic properties, the sweet lemony smell has been used for generations to clear away unsavoury aromas in some of the most tranquil Spas across Asia. From Thailand and Indonesia all along Pacific shores, this beloved scent is a timeless favourite!
Common Uses of Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass is in the top 10 of essential oils and a real must for any aromatherapy collection. Versatile and useful for a range of conditions, bringing the Spa to your home and blends.
Skin
Antioxidant Properties
One of the main benefits of lemongrass essential oil is its antioxidant content. Antioxidants are compounds that can help counteract damage caused by free radicals, which are molecules that can cause oxidative stress in our bodies. When applied topically to the skin, lemongrass essential oil helps to fight off free radicals, thus preventing premature signs of aging such as wrinkles or age spots. It also helps to reduce redness and inflammation in the skin due to its anti-inflammatory properties.
Skin Cleansing
Lemongrass essential oil is also known for its cleansing properties. It can be used as a natural astringent on oily or acne-prone skin; it helps to reduce excess sebum (oil) production while also helping to clear up existing blemishes. Additionally, its antimicrobial properties make it great for treating fungal infections like athlete’s foot or ringworm.
Soothing Scent
Finally, let’s not forget about one of the most important benefits—its scent! Lemongrass essential oil has an uplifting citrusy aroma that is both calming and energizing at the same time. It’s perfect for those days when you just need a little pick-me-up; simply add a few drops into your diffuser or apply directly onto your wrists for an instant mood boost!
Mind
Lemongrass essential oil has an aroma that is both uplifting and stimulating, which helps to reduce stress and anxiety. The scent helps to clear the mind of negative thoughts and feelings, allowing you to focus on positive things in life. This can be especially helpful for those who are feeling overwhelmed or struggling with depression or anxiety. It also works as an antidepressant by increasing levels of serotonin in the brain, which can lead to improved moods and better sleep.
In addition to helping with mental wellbeing, lemongrass essential oil can also help improve physical health by relieving muscle tension and pain. It acts as a natural analgesic, helping to reduce inflammation and muscle spasms while providing relief from headaches, joint pain, menstrual cramps, and more. Inhaling the aroma of lemongrass essential oil can also provide relief from respiratory issues like coughs, colds, asthma, bronchitis, sinus infections, and more.
The calming scent of lemongrass essential oil also helps promote relaxation so that you can take time out of your busy day to unwind and recharge yourself mentally and physically. Its antispasmodic properties help relieve tension in the body so that you can relax into a deep state of meditation or any type of relaxation technique that you prefer. The calming effects of inhaling its aroma will leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated after taking some time out for yourself.
Body
Lemongrass essential oil is extracted from the leaves and stalks of the lemongrass plant. It has a refreshing citrusy scent that is known to uplift the mood and energize the body. It has been used for centuries for its healing properties, including promoting healthy circulation in the body, relieving inflammation, improving skin health, and providing muscle relaxation.
How Does Lemongrass Essential Oil Help with Muscle Pain?
Lemongrass essential oil helps relieve pain caused by overworked or strained muscles. It contains anti-inflammatory compounds that reduce swelling in joints and muscles while also promoting increased blood flow to the affected area. This not only helps reduce pain but also speeds up recovery time so you can get back to your workout routine faster. Additionally, its antispasmodic qualities help relax tense muscles so they can heal properly without any further damage.
Hair
Hair Growth Promoter
One of the most important components of lemongrass essential oil is citral, which has been shown to stimulate hair growth. Citral has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce itchiness on the scalp while also promoting circulation in your follicles. This helps increase blood flow to your scalp and stimulates growth in areas where it was previously lacking.
Additionally, lemongrass essential oil contains antioxidants that help nourish your strands so they stay stronger and healthier for longer.
Dandruff Fighter
Lemongrass essential oil has antifungal properties that make it an ideal natural solution for treating dandruff. It helps reduce dryness on the scalp and keeps it moisturized so flakes don't form as easily or as often. Additionally, its astringent qualities help balance out your skin's pH levels and keep your scalp free from bacteria and fungus that can cause dandruff in the first place. Finally, its antibacterial nature helps prevent infection in case any bacteria does manage to get into your scalp.
Cleanser
In addition to its various healing properties, lemongrass essential oil also works great as a cleanser for both skin and hair alike. Its natural compounds help remove dirt, debris, and buildup from your scalp without stripping away vital nutrients or moisture. This makes it a great choice for those with oily scalps who are looking for something gentle yet effective enough to remove excess sebum without leaving their hair feeling greasy or weighed down. Plus, thanks to its natural scent, lemongrass essential oil adds a nice refreshing touch to any cleansing routine!
