Essential Oil – Lemongrass East Indian

• A bold, lemony, and earthy-sweet aroma. It is much more pungent and "vibrant" than the fruit oil of a lemon.
• It opens with a sharp, grassy-citrus top note that immediately transitions into a warm, smoky, and slightly spicy heart.
• There is an unmistakable "wet earth" undertone that gives it a grounding, heavy quality compared to the "airy" scent of Lemon Verbena

• Toning Muscles: Known as a "connective tissue tonic," it helps tighten and tone loose skin or weak muscles after weight loss or injury.
• Lactic Acid Removal: Excellent in sports massage blends to help clear lactic acid buildup, reducing stiffness and "next-day" soreness.
• Ligament & Tendon Support: Frequently used to support the recovery of sprains, strains, and over-stretched ligaments.
• Pain Relief: Provides analgesic relief for joint pain and general muscular aches when diluted in a carrier oil from clubarome.com.

Digestive & Metabolic Health

• Stimulating Digestion: Helps "fire up" a sluggish digestive system and can be massaged over the abdomen to relieve flatulence and cramping.
• Lymphatic Drainage: Acts as a powerful stimulant for the lymphatic system, helping to reduce fluid retention and "puffiness."
• Cholesterol Support: Historically used in aromatherapy to help support healthy lipid levels (when used as part of a holistic lifestyle).

Environmental Cleansing & Protection

• Powerful Antifungal: One of the strongest oils for combating fungal issues like athlete’s foot, nail fungus, and ringworm.
• Natural Insect Repellent: Highly effective at repelling mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas; it is a staple for natural outdoor sprays.
• Air Purifier: Its potent antimicrobial properties help sanitize the air in sickrooms or damp environments like basements and bathrooms.
• Deodorizer: Neutralizes strong odors like tobacco, pet smells, and cooking fumes, replacing them with a crisp, clean scent.

Mental Energy & Focus

• The "Driver's Oil": Helps maintain alertness and mental focus during long periods of concentration or long-distance driving.
• Lifting Fatigue: Provides a "jolt" of energy to the nervous system, helping to clear exhaustion and morning grogginess.
• Dispelling Negativity: Used to clear stagnant or "heavy" emotional energy from a room.

• Aromatically "loud" and can easily take over a blend.
• It works best when paired with woods to anchor it or other "sharp" oils to complement its intensity

• High Skin Sensitization.
• Due to its very high citral content, Lemongrass is a known skin irritant if used in high concentrations.
• It must be diluted heavily—the maximum recommended dermal dilution is typically 0.7% (about 3–4 drops per ounce of carrier oil).
• Avoid use on sensitive or damaged skin and with young children
