Lemongrass Oil | cymbopogon citratus

Lemongrass grows rapidly, reaching up to 1.5 meters, which allows it to thrive in southern India, Sri Lanka, the West Indies, and Guatemala. Additionally, expanded cultivation in Brazil and Central Africa has boosted its global presence. Experts extract its oil through steam distillation, using freshly harvested or partially dried, finely chopped blades.

Furthermore, lemongrass oil delivers a refreshing fragrance that revitalizes both body and mind. Historically, because Eastern traditions have used it during meditation and prayer, it consistently enhances focus and calm. Additionally, in India and Pakistan, it has long served as a remedy for fevers and contagious illnesses while simultaneously acting as an effective insect repellent to support health and well-being.
