Lemongrass is native to tropical countries such as India, China and Thailand where it has traditionally been used as a flavoring agent in foods, drinks and desserts, as well as for its ability to boost circulation and immunity.

It acts as an anti-septic, making it a beneficial ingredient in lotions and creams that prevent wounds from becoming infected.

It works as a detoxifying agent by increasing perspiration, thus promoting the expulsion of bodily toxins through sweating.

Used cosmetically or topically in general, Lemongrass Oil can eliminate or inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria due to its Citral content, which is known to have anti-microbial properties. Lemongrass Oil can reduce inflammation due to its Limonene content, and it can slow down the flow of blood by contracting blood vessels. When used in shampoos, it is believed to prevent hair loss.
